TravelPie : Delhi Darshan : Connaught Place

Day 2




Day 2: Connaught Place(Aka CP Aka Rajiv Chowk for the Metro Commuters)

The majestic Connought Place lies in the heart of Lutyen's Delhi. The Circular structures that often mark the Presence of Delhi on Google Maps,are that of the Connought place.

Though most of the buildings are in white, you can observe here ,nearly all the colours of Delhi ,at their best.

Some Trendy,Some Classy, Some wierd, Some Confused,Some Amusing, Some Hilarious, Some Extra Juvinile,and Some pretending themselves to be Larger than life!

Quite populated, be it a vacation or not; it houses most of the couples trying hard to escape into some Good Times,away from their regular schedules. It is their moment indeed! Many People earn their Living by selling Books,novels,flowers, chana Masala,Popcorns,Ice Creams etc. Probably, their sales are much larger than the big fat Shop owners!

A pretty no. of Luxurious and Expensive restaurants,are lined up,for your reception;provided You've enough Bucks to pay for each smile they shower upon you! :-)

Shoppers,once here, dont pause or wait for some freaky guys to deliver you a packet,inspite of all the efforts of Flipkart's recent Ad! :-P

They Choose,Grab,Own all with a pride, and a "I am the King of the world" kinda feeling keeps radiating from their faces.

 Probably, some people,as you'd observe, shop just to make others envy,many a times,its turns the other way round.
 ;-)

You could find people busy clicking selfies, and few of them,posing a BMW ,Audi or a Mercedes Benz, in their background, while their true owners are busy swiping their cards in some Brand X showrooms.( How many of you have actually 'sefied ' yourselves like that? That's bit crazy, but You can go crazy sometimes :) )


"Central park has greenary in abundance ", I heard a guy, busy spotting the green dots!

Some Popcorn, Some chips, and a Movie; you'd love to, if you have someone to show it off to;
" 180 Bucks for just a handful of Popcorn! That's Robbing in public!", I heard an Old Man freaking out at the Well Polished Popcorn seller, who had an appreciable amount of corporate glare.

All he replied to the Old Man, was just to give a fake smile at him, mostly sarcastic!

Now that, we were finally done with the movie, we had to leave the airconditioned theater.
It was Hot! Very hot!

Seemed like Global warming was done, inflicting CP in just 12 hrs of the day!

It becomes even more populated in the evening, with some teenagers, highschool kidults joining the crowd and literally living up their Lives, as they call it!

So, in a nutshell, CP offers, activities of a lifetime! You cant really miss it!
