Heat waves in Delhi....

Uh!! its really really hot out here with the temperature soaring to a maximum high of  42°C. 

The city's climate becomes very hot during the month of May and June which is followed by monsoons happening somewhere after September. 

Come Summer and you are already looking for things such as Sadi Dilli Ka Banta or the unsophisticated yet tasty lemon soda , Chuski which is  the common man's ice cream and none the less , the famous Gol Gappas . Perhaps Delhi without these yummy and tasty things would be bland.

In Delhi the temperature plays a major role in deciding the mood and nature of a person. During the summers the men are like boiling hot on the busy roads and often you can find them quarrelling for some or the other stupid reasons. They are unable to control their anger during the times of rush. You can see similar behaviour of the women folk as well. Moreover the scooter riding ladies  are seen completely covered from top to bottom, trying their level best to avoid the scorching heat. Even the animals can be seen hiding in shades wherever they can find. School going kids have a tough time as they come back at an hour when the sun is really really hot. Thats the time when you think of the Winters. 

As in comparison to summer, winters are short yet pleasant .

Winter Season starts from the end of November and continues till February-March. The cold waves from the Himalayan region makes the winters in New Delhi very chilly. Temperatures fall substantially down to as low as 3 to 4º C at the peak of winter. Winters in Delhi get really chilly with bonfires all round the streets of Delhi to beat the cold waves. Of course you face problems of fog and smog during winters. In January, a dense fog envelopes the city, reducing visibility on the streets. Usually though, winter days are pleasant with bright sunlight in afternoons only. 

Monsoons in Delhi are almost nil only that you can find some occasional showers which are meant not to quench the thirst but to rise the levels of Humidity.

But none the less , this city has a charm of its own. Be it scorching summers , chilly winters or negligible monsoons , the people in this city know how to find the alternatives and thus remain chilled out throughout.......

I'm saying this because i'm a pucca Delhiite.....

My little wonder, my car - Maruti 800

Hello friends, 

Today is supposed to be the end of an era , of common man's luxury , Maruti 800.The small car that changed the way Indians drove and helped put the Indian automobile market into the global big league will stop rolling out of showrooms in major cities from today 

I remember when baba bought a Maruti 800 after selling away our Fiat , it was so much of a luxury for us. My father had asked the dealer to show a affordable yet reliable car. The dealer had immediately showed us Maruti 800 , choice of almost a million by that time. When we drove this car back home my father had a hard time in controlling the light vehicle as he was used to driving the heavy Fiat. It was such a gliding and a smooth feeling , we almost felt we were flying the otherwise tough roads of Delhi. I and my brother used to freak out on this wonderful car while going to our school or to any place for that matter. When I grew up , I often took our car to my college, rejoicing the feeling all the way, of course by not telling my father. It was so very precious for our family that when this car was stolen , we felt as if we have lost some living being from our family. But baba kept his compose and we wondered how could he be so cool...But realised that even baba had felt the same for his car because he again preferred a Maruti 800 only , a replica of our previous one. 

So much is linked with this Car , I just cant wonder that today is the last day for this Car to be supplied to anyone else any more. Now that my father is driving a more stylised version of Maruti Suzuki , I have taken over our old Maruti 800. I drive it to my office now , almost cherrishing all that I have experienced as a child. It has become a part of my life and I feel a lot more for this car now.........as I know I will not be able to buy a similar version any more.

I love you my old little wonderful car....
