Leisure Time........

Before 2 years I went to see Republican Day celebration at RAJPATH. I was very fortunate to witness an extravaganza.......Along with me Raju, Pranay and Ravi were there. I managed the passes at 10:30PM on previous day (Thanks to my friend Chand, who is working in Army). On the Republic day I had to wake up at 4:45AM. But no regrets. We took a metro at 6AM from Sikanderpur Metro Station... On the day of Repulican day for security reason few of the metro station were closed so we had to get down 2 stations before the central Secretariat and walk from there.Finally we reached at the Rajpath around 8:15AM. Rajapath is the 1.5Km to 2KM road which connects Parliament to India Gate. Generally for Independence Day flag hosting will be at Red Fort and for Republican Day it will be at India Gate. It was huge crowd..More than 30,000 people were there. Aunties with full make up on face as if they have come to wedding, Girls did not forgot to use perfume, patriotic old people...

That was the biggest swimming pool, ever I have seen. More than 500-600 people including young, oldies, boys-girls, kids were there. It was nice to dive from 25 feet tall springboard into water. It was nicer to see the young girls swimming in bikini.  After sometime we saw two guys of age 26-27 years old were walking towards us. They came and asked, are you ASIAN (in Hindi with Punjabi accent). I and Sunil thought they are Indian. They told that they are from Gujarat in Pakistan. I was confused, later they told they are from city called Gujarat in Punjab of Pakistan. They introduced themselves as a Bilal and Kashif. I was very happy that I got few more guys to speak in Hindi. Soon we became friends. I, Sunil, Bilal and Kashif swam for some more time. Then we went to beach volleyball (in the same campus of swimming pool). We requested some Deutch guys to allow us to play with them. We formed a team of 4 guys, in our team (2 Indian and 2 Pakistani) and in opposite team ...
