showers at delhi

This weekend was the coolest one... sudden showers and cloudy days dipped the temperature way down to call it a summer.( and ofcourse the consequence being me sneezing since then :-)
I could see the rainbow right on the way.

The whole sky was covered with cloud. it was awesome. Here are few snaps from my sony k750i's camera which was nonfunctional but suddenly started clicking in that good weather. and after those charming snaps it gave up again :-(.

I could capture the flight just above the gurgaon delhi highway (NH-8) :-)

Weather variation from delhi to gurgaon

Today I will share my experience about my journey to office. That tells that in India , while moving from one city to other you may feel like coming in a different country.

It was a chilled winter in Delhi till yesterday, 10^th jan 2007. Now it is getting warmer and while coming today to office, I was thinking of not taking my jacket with me. It’s a sunny day with no chilling wind . What a nice weather like “Basant”. And as soon as reached Delhi-Gurgaon border.. wooooooo.. I felt like being in a different country altogether..

It was so dense fog that I couldn’t see even 10 yards away.

The picture below will tell the rest of the story..

A fruit wala, A bus wala and we

Today morning while coming to office what I saw is worth sharing. I saw something really good which revived my belief that we are still a supportive and cooperative and society, not just busy in our own things.
We were crossing Basantkunj-Mahipalpur road on my way to Gurgaon. In the mid of road a fruit vendor, whose cycle was probably got misbalanced by the coming bus, had all his fruits fallen on the road. That guy were standing there helpless putting his cycle aside from road. The bus driver probably had some sympathy and didn’t run over his fruits. I and my friend Akash realised that clearing of this will take time and may cause a traffic jam and also in the worst case the bus might have to move forward crushing the whole day’s business of that poor guy. I parked my car at side of the road and we came forward help that guy in collecting all fruits and putting back in the basket.
And suddenly what I saw was surprising…. One scooter guy and one motor bike also stopped and few pedestrians crossing the road also came forward. And there were about 6-7 people, to join this altruism. And in less than 2 minutes, it was all clear. Wow!!! We were so happy to see this!! This would have been really a motivating and feel good incident for all viewers there. Then we took a sigh of relief that it’s not only American’s, we also have a culture to help and support others. India is changing, and as our father of the nation said… Be the change you want to see.
