Trade Fair...The Urban Mela




So.. on a cold Sunday.. after waking up at the time in leave for office on weekdays.. i have an uphill task.. washing clothes.. wow! couldnt have asked for more...


after having a cup of tea and poha.. me n my roommate were out on a lazy afternoon.. only to reach Pragati Maidan for India Internation Trade Fair - 09 and shocked with the no. of people turning up at the Fair...Terming it as a 'lazy' afternoon was my mistake..

Queue for ticket (i had reached only midway)



As i stood in the long queue trying to catch hold of tickets.. eager and impatient.. the ticket counter was supposed to be closed in 30mins.. one gentlman pointing at the Metro station says there are more counters at the station and all are empty.. thank god i thought.. so there are some good helping people in Delhi.. or was he trying to prove that he is smarter than us.. in any case my frd gets tickets in 5mins... and we are off to entry gate no.8.

Finally we are in.. there you go.. the first hall we enter.. hall no. 8 if i correctly remember...more crowded than rajkot's jasmasthami mela... mamoth crowd.... Man! Delhi's gone crazy... standing infront of the stall for more than 10 secs... was in itself an achievement... and to my surprise ladies still managed to enquire and purchase the products... may be its their genes..

Crowd
