Something Red and Unusual

This is a board of a street-side shop at Lajpat Nagar. I clicked this photo because I found the word play in 'T-shirtalaya' interesting. 'Alaya' in Sanskrit means abode like the Himalayas mean the abode of snow. Here the shopkeeper showed immense creativity, in my opinion, in naming his shop T-shirtalaya.

Chaat Street

Among other things, Delhi is famous for its street food. Lot of fried stuff of different shapes, a generous helping of boiled potatoes, sauces and chutneys of different kinds, curd and some dark dingy space are the ingredients for fun evenings. I have taken a series of photos as I went nearer my target -- a plate of Papdi Chaat. :-)

View of the dark street with the colourful umbrellas the only indication of good food!

As I went nearer, the aroma and the good food had me salivating.

After waiting for about 10 minutes for my turn, the shopkeeper gave me what I wanted to make my life meaningful... hehehe...


A plate of yummy Papdi Chaat.

Promise to treat you to a plate of Papdi Chaat next time we meet on the streets of Delhi! :-)

Already Packing My Bags!

Started packing my bags. I know its too early, but I am way too excited. Its just some 9-10 days left for my holiday and I am busy getting a deep hole in my pocket right now. I spotted this particular street side shop in Karol Bagh. The bags, the sales guys promised would last me a lifetime. They have a trendy collection but I am too much of a cynic to trust the verbal assurances and passed the awesome bargains they were offering. It was worth a photo for the blog though.

Do visit Priyanka's Point to read some of my new work. :-)
