It’s been 6 months since I came out of Gurgaon and now I feel like writing something about this city, a so called “Super Metro” or “Millennium City
The resplendent express way with sky scrappers on either sides, fantabulous malls and not to mention beautiful and hot professionals (read as “*****”...well u know what to read).
The city is mostly owned by Real estate giant DLF owning about a property of 50 thousand crores…there’s is no wonder if some one calls this city as “DLF-Gurgaon”.
I started my IT career from this city. I met surprises from day One. The peddling rickshaws,
September’s heat (42 deg), Power supply lasting just 6 hrs a day, and daily headlines about robbery/rape/murder … Staying in “The Vikram Lodge” for 2 days was the worst experience of all.
One can imagine what the situation of a guy who travelled 1000 miles to stay there cud have had.
As time went by, nothing but I changed.....
New friends, fun at work and the mall culture helped in getting along with the city.

I still remember the movie “Chak de India” as my first movie in Gurgaon, rather than a shahrukh starrer. Walking 5 km @ midnight enjoying the December cold (2 deg) from “Sahara mall” to “Jalvayu vihar” after watching “Taare Zameen Par” with Krishna was a thrilling (rather chilling) experience.
My weekend travel to Delhi, passing time at CP, Sarojiini market,waiting for a bus in Dhuala-kuan and adjusting in an auto-rikchaw at IFFCO Chowk…….kya mazedar lyf tha….
Woh Gobi ke paranthe @ Sec-41 Mkt, Veg Momos, OM sweets ...…..Metropolitan, City Centre, Grand, Ambience, MGF…and finally.. DLF Silokhera :)
Don’t think ki …”yeh saaala gurgaon kaam karne gaya maine
The practice sessions for the Cricket Tournament, Tasty snacks at Jitin’s residence and a Man of the match award….and many more moments to cherish..,
Well I don’t miss all these things …but I definitely will never forget them.
Wait did I miss something??......
…..
….
Yes

Thanks to Classroom training sessions,somehow made them productive !!
Santu I share your feeling about Gurgaonwa (and not gurgaon pronounced by many). I this is the millenium city then i guess we are in the wrong millenium.
