Partition Play at Triveni Kala Sangam

On 3rd July we went to see Triveni Kala Sangam Partition Play which was organized by Ashmita Theater. This was the first time I saw a drama outside the college in an auditorium, Partition drama is taken from Manto's stories, directed by Arvind Gaur. I had seen a lot of plays during college, let's say after 6-7 years today again the old memories have been refreshed. So the play was supposed to start at 7 o'clock, but we reached very early because it was the rainy season so we didn't take the risk. I reached Khazan's shop at 3:30 o'clock it was still rainy. We left the shop at 4 o'clock and took a rickshaw and reached the metro. Khazan was talking about some business to his friend. We got down to ITO Metro at 5:40 pm, crossed the railway track on foot, and reached Tansen Marg, first we saw Shri Ram center, but the play we had to watch was in Triveni Kala Sangam. So we had reached our destination, now we entered inside and started seeing paintings in an art gal...

Red Fort

On 25th June, after returning from a b'day party, we left for Red Fort. Garmi boht hi jyada thi, aur Khazan metro mein andar hi reh gya tha. We were at Red Fort around 3 pm, booked ticket. There was huge crowd. A function was organized in the memory of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur. It was ended. We entered, and Khazan had something on his mind to shoot the video this time.  We were trying to take the panorama shot for the entrance of Chhatta Chowk, a market inside the Red Fort. Khazan took short clips from the market and I was clicking some photos. One of the shopkeeper scolded a boy who was taking pictures of his shop.  After Chhatta Chowk, we entered in a museum. This museum carried the memories of the Indian Freedom fighters and their history. It was like a combined memorial for most of the history before Independence era. Garmi boht hi jyada thi, nha liye they garmi mein ekdm hi. Khazan was reading the history and clicking photos.  After this museum, we visited a open gro...

Khazan's B'day

It was 21st June and Khazan turned 27 today, wished him at 12 am. Khazan went to his shop as usual. I brought a cake at Khazan's shop. It was Lucky, Rudra, Me and Khazan during cake cutting. After cake cutting, we left for Dosa shop in Pratap Vihar on walk. There was too much crowd at the shop, we waited for our turn. We bought three dosas. After Dosa, now we were walking towards the tattoo shop, unfortunately, tattooist was drunk so we left. We drank Sugarcane juice. That is how the b'day was celebrated. 

Old Fort and Dolls Museum

It was 17th June, When we were planning to visit the Old Fort. The weather was quite good to explore the monument today. Khazan was not ready to visit Old Fort and said, " K krega Purana Qila ja k, k pa rya h tnne! ". I was already ready around 7:30 am, but he was late as usual. I was checking the nearest metro station. Anyhow we reached Nangloi around 9:30 am. I was hungry, because of Gym. Khazan forgot to carry his mask. We met Hemant Sharma (one of my classmates). He was going towards his office. There was crowd in the metro. We reached Supreme Court Metro station around 11:00 am. While taking exit from metro, Khazan told about his last visit. Now we are walking continously with the eyes of the map. There was sudden heat of sun and we were drenched with the sweat. After walking more than 2 km, we found out that Zoo is closed today. So we decided to visit Old Fort for now.  While going towards Old Fort, we found a Mosque, called Khair-ul-Manazil Masjid built by the wet nurs...

On the search of Zafar Mahal

 After Mehrauli Archaeological Park Vlog, we decided to visit Mehrauli again, because there were some  historical monuments that were unexplored. It was the lowest gap during our vlog because we were out again within a week. Khazan was surprised when I asked him to get ready for the new vlog. Firstly, he denied that the reason was the pain of his tooth. Finally, we agreed to visit Mehrauli tomorrow. It was 28th of May, and garmi subah se keh ke le rhi thi. Khazan forgot his Parna, we were still in my room, but he did not bring the parna. While exiting, my father asked to get my breakfast done. After breakfast, we left again. It was around 8:50 am, because Khazan came around 8:35 am. And I was dressed like an office goer. We took an e-rickshaw from Agar Nagar after a frustrating moment (Khazan baith chuka tha, maine e-rickshaw wale uncle ko bola ki aap mod lo pehle uske baad mai baith jata hu, ek chutiya chalti rickshaw mein hi baith gya mere se pehle). We reached Nangloi arou...

 After our EID Vlog , we were now planning to visit the historical places in Mehrauli. I made the list of almost every historical place in Mehrauli with the help of Google. There were so many historical places like Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Jamali Kamali Tomb and Mosque, Rajon Ki Baoli, Gandhak baoli, Jahaz Mahal, Zafar Mahal, Hauz-i-Shamsi, Bhul Bhulaiya, Quila Rai Pithora, Hizro ka Khanqan and many others. Firstly, we were planning to make our vlog on 18 May, then 19th May, then 20th May and after then, finally we decided to visit the places on 21st May. The reason behind the change of plans was Khazan's Health. For the last 3 days, he had fever. And we were not even sure about 21st May because Khazan told me that we will see in the morning, depends on the health.  Khazan got ready around 8:15 am, and he was waiting for me outside. I asked Khazan if he brought ' Parna' or not, Parna is like a piece of cloth or you can say a combination of 10 Handkerchiefs. He denied...
