I was in CP the other day looking for a birthday gift for a friend. Walked through Central Park for the first time. Its made right above the Metro Station and it quite a nice place to walk around with not too many people around, atleast in the late afternoon. There was even an open air concert by Kailash Kher some days ago. Delhi is certainly coming up with some nice and cheap hang out places. Took some pics while walking across the Park. Here they are:

I don't know what this is but there's water surrounding the building below:
Sights seen from the Park. Thats the Jeevan Bharti Building:
And this is one of my favourite places in CP, the Stateman Building which also houses the Oxford Book Shop where I go read books, have a good meal and meet up with friends:
People frolicking in the Park:
Pigeons, pigeons everywhere!!! Nice isnt it?
Finally the very familiar and reassuring letter box. Doesnt seeing one give you a nice, cosy feeling? Of letters, memories, smiles, tears and nostalgia?
By the way, the second Dilli Haat was inaugurated in Pitampura today. Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Your last picture is the best. I still write snail mails and the charm of sending them, waiting for other person to get it and waiting for the reply, makes it all worth it...
