Right Turn

It was about 1.15 a.m. in the morning when we left from my ex-roomie Kailash’s wedding. Umesh was driving us back to his home. It was about 25-28 kms from Mayur Vihar Phase-III to his abode in Bhajanpura. We were moving from East Delhi to East Delhi and still had to travel some 30 odd kilometers, which once again made me feel how big Delhi has grown and expanded its territory. All this began with a right turn at Mayur Vihar. The next one, again a right turn at New Ashok Vihar or so called Noida mod (turn). We went straight for few couple of kilometers and one more right turn at New Seemapuri. After moving few kilometers from New Seemapuri we’re suppose to take a left turn which would lead us to Bhajanpura through Wazirabad and Shahadra. Right turn was so much on our mind that we started circling over Delhi highways. Around 2.00 a.m. we realized that we’re leading somewhere else. We had completely stuck for half an hour on the clogged highways of Delhi which were flooded with trucks. Delhi now a days is completely dug out to get it’s new look before the commencement of Commonwealth Games. Also, metro rail over-bridges are being constructed to facilitate the commuters. But looking at the current scenario it lives the commuters in dizziness. And this added to our muddle on which way to lead. And unfortunately we traveled almost 50 kms on the same roads and once again we reached to New Seemapuri from were this right turn had leaded us to a night safari of the Delhi highways. Alas, this night safari on Delhi highways we’re able to reach his home by 2.45 a.m. in the morning.
