My Delhi saga has just began and I have staying in this area since the last seven days.In spite of having hectic schedule I have started liking it.Katwaria Sarai is a bustling area.
As usual wherever I go I observe things going around me.
Now these are some my observations:
Its a completely Jat 'moholla' I should say.Some of my friends from North Calcutta will like this lively area well, especially if they are from Sobhabazar-Bagbazar area.

Heard that this area is the most vulnerable area to water born diseases in India. At least Calcutta Municipality will take breather when they hear this.Even former mayor Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya can claim" Jara bolen Kolkata ta puro dengue-malaria r dera tara bhul bolen". Those who say Calcutta is a city of dengue and malaria are wrong.Or our Budhhababu can say "London noy Kolkata ke amra Katwaria Sarai banate pari jodi r o panch bochor somoy pai." Not London but we can make Kolkata a Katwaria Sarai if we are gven 5 more years.
The Blue Line buses of Delhi Transport Corporation on which it is written " Propelled by clean fuel" are much much worse than the private buses of Kolkata.
Heat?Here there should be a different scale of measurement which should be scaled at 45 degree Celsius during summer months. The sun also does some overtime here. Being a early riser I have never seen the red ball in the eastern part of the sky that I like to watch.It is alwys burning furiously.Well, as a matter of fact my day starts at 5-5:30AM. Also the ancient Egyptian God stays in his office till 8PM.
Bhai ghar jane jaruri nahi hai kya??
Yes, no Bengalees in my vicinity.At least nobody to walk with me parallely. The hostel caretaker is one but he is not in professional area.I spend time by reading Anandabazar,listening to Bengali songs.Yes I have loads of recent Bengali movies of Ravi Kinagi and Raj Chakrabarti in my hard drive.
Sanjay Van:Well it is one of the most haunted places in India.Location?In the heart of Qutab Institutional Area.To be more precise it is right in front of my institute.It is a huge forest area spread over an area of 10km.There is cremation ground inside it.
Everytime I pass by it I always think that one day I will take a walk inside it.
Our hostel is located in a very odd place.It is sandwiched inside two Jat houses.One of these houses may be termed a National Park.They have chicken coup right at their door step. Further there is battelion of bovines and nearly a dozen of dogs.All the dogs are of different breed. I have never seen German Shepherd,Alsatian,Bulldog,pug together!
