Basant panchmi day out

Basant Panchmi was a restricted holiday in our company, and we (me and wife Shweta) decided to take leave. The day started as a usual holiday, getting up by 11, you know a bit late in the morning.

S's dad gets up at 4 am every morning, actually every night. My mom gets up at 6. I would say very early in early morning. My dad wakes up at 7 - early morning. S's mom @ 8 am - morning.

Coming back to the holiday, we had our breakfast. As usual S wanted to stay at home, relax, watch any movie. I forced her to go out and buy a new pair of shoes for her. On the way to malls, we decided to go to Sarojni nagar market. We took the Mehrauli route to reach Delhi. We also had to do lunch. We also decided to visit ISKON temple. But before that lunch. We were eagerly looking through the windows of our i10 for a good restaurant. It was a bit foggy also. We could barely see the Qutub Minar. S asked to take let turn as  she said she remembered a good place there. It was a pointed sharp turn. After taking a right turn from the next red light we were lost. We stooped at a fuel station and quenched the thirst of i10.

After asking so many pan waalas, we finally arrived Greater kailash market. On the entry road itself there is a restuarant ...some punjabi dhaaba. The food was really good.

We then headed towards Iskon temple. It's very close to Nehru place. One should not miss the movie that they show and also the aarti that happens at 6.30 PM. Parking is not a problem at Iskon, but yes the road from Nehru place is a bit conjested.

We spend almost 2 hours at Iskon. It is a beautiful temple. Around 7.30 we headed back towards our sweet home...
