To delhi and back.
beautiful weather,
dusty delhi.
metro dreams a few metres above our heads,
early morning mist,
flyovers daring us,
milkmen guiding us,
a u-turn
Back home.
Well, yes, I and Mahesh drove to Delhi to meet Char-Paanch Bloggers. NM, HDWK, Pinku, PinknBlu, and Sukumbho (More about that later) and I come back home and Ritu Charges me with a Char ka Tag. Totally charmed, here I go, spreading about my charms.
4 places I go to over and over again
1. Internet (Lifeline has to go on blinking in the modem, or I am dead)
2. My life size mirror (not that it has a lot to offer, I want it to feel good when it looks at me)
3. My Work Place ( Have to, chotey chotey bachey hain mere)
4. Tennis Courts (in capacity of the White Tiger)
4 people who mail me regularly
1. Sumanta (sigh, he has finally accepted that he has to give me up to the blogworld)
2. Bikramjit Sekhon (He is actually pissed off at my not doing the GNDU Newsletter till now)
3. Kiran Grewal (Remember the baby devil?)
4. My Mom ( till she was abroad)
4 of my favorite places to eat ( apart from home)
1. The Maya, Jalandhar (Though once they brought the bill without our asking and I was thirsting for the manager's blood)
2. Haveli, Jalandhar (The other cronies around cities like Karnal and Ludhiana are nowhere close to the original)
3. Brijwasi Chaat Bhandar, Bhandari Bridge, Amritsar. (I loved their jaggery-tamarind sauce in chaat. Oh Paapi memory…kithey cheta aa gaya, yummm)
4. Sanjha Chulha in Johal Market, Jalandhar (Till I was a chickiterian, I loved their Chicken Irani)
4 places I’d rather be now
1. Chandigarh
2. Watching Dil Kabaddi
3. In Udaipur, leisurely enjoying the rich city
4. Walking on unwalked trails in Kasauli
4 favorite TV shows
1. Tom and Jerry
2. Shamsher Sikander Chuddi-Buddy (Yeah, there is a monkey in it that is totally in awe of his bum)
3. Discovery travel shows ( I don’t know the names honestly)
4. Lizzie McGuire or Shararat (On Disney; I dont know why both cannot be aired)
4 Movies I could watch again and again
1. Sholay (But of course)
2. Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyon Aaata hai ( hehe, sorry it was a white lie)
3. Chupke-Chupke (starring Dharminder, Jaya Bhaduri, Amitabh Bacchan, Sharmila Tagore)
4. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro
4 people I would like to tag:
1. Afaque
2. Iya
3. Manasa
4. Zirelda
Edited to add:
Gandhigiri in tags results in Philip agreeing to do the tag. Will wait to hear from you LP.

Hum kab milenge? :)
Very good Char-Ms.
I will be happy to take this up.
Thank you Mampi.
Hamku tag nahin karte? ;)
Am also wanting to see Dil Kabbaddi. Am a big Irfan Khan fan.
..arre kya kya yaad karaya is post ne. I was at posted at Jalandhar..have some really great memories of the place...probably the best place in Panjab!
hey!!
You forgot to mention sumanto in the bloggers u met list. agreed he is one of the most reluctant ones...but still he is a blogger.
and I am coming down soon so be ready to take me to all those places for mouthwatering food that u have mentioned. ;)
Good one! Wish we could have met during your trip to Delhi. Zindagi baaki rahi toh insha allah - we shall meet.
By the way which channel does this come on? Shamsher Sikander Chuddi-Buddy? I wanna see this
LOL @ Char Bloggers :)
Loved the description of Delhi and back. Daring flyovers and guiding milkmen ...loved it all, brings back lovely memories of winter mornings...!
Manasa-Whenever you say.
Zirelda-Char in many Indian languages means four. So you go by the number of four in the tag. Looking forward to ur take on it.
Philip-Bahut mann houa that I should, then I thought u might or might not like to do it, given that you take up subtle issues, we-the mundane ones, hehe.
Ashwani-Ahh, I miss Jalandhar. Which years were you there?
Pinku-Amended, Ma'am. Yeah, your excuse would be enough for me to go to Jalandhar to have fun.
Ritu-Really, I kept remembering you all thru the trip. Yes, we would meet soon. Shamsher is aired on Cartoon Network, every evening at 7 30 when I must watch it with Jai.
IHM-Secretly,I wished if only IHM were also in Delhi. LOL.
hi mampi thank you so much for all your kind comments. you have a beautiful blog here.please keep visiting my blog too.
i think i have been to haveli. is it exactly in jalandar? or on NH1?
when do you drive to bangalore to meet fellow bloggers?
Wow!!
u do this tag really well!
What a char-tistic list! Char-med by your char-isma, as always. Who can forget Pinku's char-coal char-ge brigade? Yet, she was more than char-itable in spreading her smiles. But Mahesh's presence ne toh char chaand laga diya. Only regret is ur char-chakka char-iot cudnt find the direction to my place.
Enjoying your 4-M, Verse on Delhi Trip and having fun with your www.friends.com,tagging char only.
You along with your friends will always be welcomed for your Jalandhar junctions.
This posting is very interesting and thought provoking too.
Keep it up!
Dhindsa
If there actually are 5 of them, I wonder why they choose to call themselves 'chaar-paanch'.
:D
I like 1 and 3 among your favourite TV shows and 3 and 4 among your favourite movies.
:)

Finally! I'm finished. :) Thanks for the tag Mampi. I enjoyed it.

My brain cells tell me I had.
