I have been living in National Capital Region of New Delhi, in and out, for about 10 years now and have been to many places in Delhi, from old to new to archaic. Undoubtedly Connaught Place, a.k.a CP, has been one of my favorite hang out places in Delhi because of its vicissitudinousness. One can go to United Coffee House for Price range: Rs. 2,100 for two people (approx.) and also it has Indian Coffee House for Price range: Rs. 200 for two people (approx.). Apart from that there are differences in shopping places. There are showrooms where there is no bargaining; i.e. the inner CP circle; where as there are flea markets in Janpath where bargaining is very rampant and customary. This place encompasses everyone and has something or the other to offer to anyone with any pocket size and taste. I have been a frequent visitor of this place since I was a student and now when I am a working class citizen.
This Saturday, a day before Valentine's Day, three travel bugs were set out for a get together in Connaught Place (CP). The three of us congregated at Rajiv Cowk Metro station's gate number 6 from there we all went to Agrasen ki Baoli. This was my umpteenth visit to this place but the first one for @chidiyyaaa and @meera.in.me. In my previous post on Agrasen ki Baoli I had clearly warned against coming here on weekends because of the crowd. As we entered into Agrasen ki Baoli we saw people; some taking selfies while pouting, smiling, scorning and laughing, while some getting their pictures clicked by others making poses with arms half bent, protruded on the sides, like Shahrukh Khan of DDLJ, while some making more casual and routine poses. There was a rush of crowd at the pit of the Baoli, with noise and dust around, so it was avoided by us. I was not astonished at this site, as it was expected with the backdrop of it being a weekend day. My friends on the other hand looked a little baffled and amused at the sight of it, but I could tell from their eyes that they liked the place. I was too pleased in company of two fine friends to be bothered about the chaos around. After hanging around at this place for some 90 minutes chatting, joking, laughing our hearts out, clicking pictures, and monkeying around a little we started walking towards our next destination, which was food.
Before I start with my description of this next destination let us go through the basic characteristics of 'Gemini' sun sign:
'Gemini' gets fascinated by almost everything in the world and they have a feeling as if there is not enough time to experience everything they want to see. Gemini is versatile, inquisitive, fun loving and wants to experience everything out there, so their company is never boring.'
On some similar lines were the characteristics of this place called Rajdhani Thali Restaurant. Dishes, chapatis, chutneys, sweets, buttered milk drinks etc etc were floating around you like asteroids in space. People were coming at our table incessantly with some dish or the other. At one point I was so lost that I was eating rice and found myself holding a chapati in my hand from nowhere. Then a voice "Sir Ghee?" came to my ears breaking the spell and disclosing the mystery of the chapati in my hand. This situation for me can be best described by words like 'baffling', 'flabbergasting', 'stupefying'. Food was a little overpriced but the overall experience was good.

After this we went for a Janpath Shopping Marathon where I was a mute spectator, witnessing the art of shopping and bargaining which was being displayed conspicuously by @chidiyyaaa and @meera.in.me. It was fun being around with these two shopping enthusiasts. We went into many shops from 1469 (full of bad vibes) to Nice on Girls to Kalaniketan to flea markets. After exhausting ourselves out physically we finally went to Handloom House Cafe for coffee and spent the last part of our day giggling, laughing, jesting, coffee-ing and watching the sun setting down.
