The Necessity for " An evening Walk "

2001 was fast becoming a memorable year, in my life. I was close to completing a semester of my engineering. I was now travelling more frequently to Kranti Vikram's house to discuss about our engineering subjects. It was on one fine evening , to be more precise a week before our CCP [Computer Concepts & C Programming ] Lab external exam that i visited his house . We were studying for weeks together and needed a break. Discussing college life and other stuff , playing computer games did not provide much needed break. On this very evening we decided to take a casual stroll along the streets of BEML Layout 5th stage.

Least had I expected , that this would turn into a major pastime. It not only provided us the much needed break , but also gave us an opportunity to explore our surroundings , meet new people, in other words FREAK OUT !!

BEML Layout RajaRajeshwariNagar has not undergone a major change in the past 4 years apart from a slight increase people density.

The one prominent change I noticed in BEML Layout , is the the presence of a new park , on a piece of land which once appeared of little use , covered by weeds. The park has sprung all of a sudden and it adds a new dimension to our evening walk these days.

We casually moved out on to the streets discussing our engineering subjects. Soon we approached Double Road where we came across a Bhel Puri vendor. We did give our taste buds a little exercise , but it was memorable and even to this day we cherish the thought of having CHAAT @ DOUBLE ROAD , BEML L/O RajarajeshwariNagar.

Day after Day our visits to the street side Chat store increased. Above this we were joined by new friends. Soon our friends circle grew and soon we were not the only two at the Street Chat Center but now more often accompanied by surprise visitors ( Nitin Kumar UK and Narayan GK who has yet to make an appearance in the blog. )

Even to this day we go on an evening walk along the streets of BEML Layout . Inspite of our busy lives we take time to hook up during weekends esp Saturday to make some time for an evening walk.

Some people call us crazy, for doing the same things over and over again. But be rest assured , this is gonna be the same , for years to come, until one of us moves onsite.

After all spending your Saturday evening @ a place where the number of people per sq ft area < = 1
(away from city , pollution , traffic , noise ) , is not such a bad idea , infact its an awesome idea.

Thanks guys (UKN and Kranti ) for keeping the trend ticking.
