Republic day parade

got two passes for the repblic day parade on the 25th night....each pass to allow two persons......so me, my roomie and his girl got ready for the parade....and i started my hunt for someone to fill the fourth slot in our passes....somehow managed to get hold of a friend who was enthu about the parade.....

so we started at 8:00 in the morning.....drove down to ISBT...missed a turn so had to come back almost to where we started.....then drove down towards the indiagate....we were diverted on a number of occassions....making us drive around and around the parade area.....then decided to come back to ISBT park the car there and catc ha metro to cP and walk down to the parade .....so parked our car in ISBT....took a metro to CP....

surprise! surprise!

when we came out of the CP metro station we were surprised to see a free bus awaiting for aam aadmi....the bus took us to the parade grounds.....we were on time (well indian standards)......

surprise! surprise! again....

indians have become punctual.....our passes asked us to be seated befor 9:30....and we reached the place at 9:35.... so we were not allowed to take our seats...

surprise! surprise! again....

a couple 0f armed forces officers in smart blue uniform were not allowed inside...they had to settle for the free entry area......was surprised.....

surprise! surprise! this time for u kvk!!

when we tried to enter through the free entry gates we were stopped for carrying cell phones.....wat an idiot im to carry my mobile in the parade...should have uessed it......so there ended my republic day parade.....i volunteered to carry the mobiles back home and asked the other three to go enjoy the parade.....

so walked back from the India gate to CP metro station....was accompanied by GnR and Queen...thanks to my Nokia 6630.....was hungry but was feeling nice to walk on empty roads of Delhi......

surprise! surprise!
