Have a great day ahead…Wish u a brand new start for the week ahead…
My weekend was a good one….each weekend passes….I feel my presence more in this wonder land…at the end of the day…my mind says ‘I got to know many things’….but still there is lot of void that needs to be filled….:D, all these days I have been going all over the places…but everytime I step out of BaiCuoYuan…I feel like I m entering a New World…still I am a stranger in this place…ofcourse the other way around too…I would be lost in the crowd once I reach out!! I will be one among them….but still not among them…it’s a kind off riddle which I have not yet solved. Hey I m not following the Rabbit…;). Well before u get baffled with my musings I would rather tell my experiences of the weekend…:D
First time I could experience the Metro Train in Shenzhen…it was an awesome ride…After staying in China for almost 3 weeks…I have understood the importance of communication in our life…making someone understand your thoughts/ideas is a Herculean task where language draws the boundaries within…but few ppl are interesting too…they utter few Hindi words…like ‘shukriya’…’koi bath nahin’…I was taken back to here these not because they speak Hindi but becoz the way they pronounce…:D,
I almost covered the length and breadth of Shenzhen city on Saturday….yet many things are unexplored….my ride begun from BaiCuoYuan gardens in the midst of Saturday… my 99% of the time went for window shopping….As my mind was set on some shopping for this weekend…I made a mark of it in Wachangbe…now u may wonder what I bought…any guesses…?? Not to make it a thriller movie…let me whirl my wand and reveal the secret…:D, I bought a Sony DVD player. Ohh gosh…it plays any damn thing on earth. But it took the breath out of my lungs to buy it…yes I had to confirm the price tag with many people around…I also went to Walmart for the same purpose…it’s a very huge complex…ofcourse every shopping complex in Shenzhen is even bigger than Wal Mart…this was not a shocking one for me though…But the reason for getting into walmart was accomplished, I came to know about the prices…:D,
Just besides the Wal-mart there was another mall…it was blend of international brands…from Wal-Mart left for Wachengbe….the transport was Metro Train…now I knew it was Wachengbe but the Chinese name for that was something else…although the train-map was very clear alas with Chinese names…after a lots of interactions with the local station master…finally got the Chinese name…it was Hua Qiang Lu…so sweet name I thought…dropped the coins to obtain a Plastic made ticket for the entry…the Metro was so accurate in its arrival….it seems its controlled by the ‘God of Time’…entered the iron doors…reached Wachangbe within 15 minutes…although it takes more than an hour in Mini-Bus…was very happy…was well before the planned time…
Enquired two branded shops…SUNDAN and GOME…but my model was a new one it had many enhanced features compared to the one which my room mates at BaiCuoYuan had…finally grabbed it for 80 RMB lesser than the actual tag price…took a lot to bargain…huh…
Then boarded the train again to Dongmin, this is one of the shopping areas of Shenzhen…I had already written about this last week…there are few good Indian restaurants here…this time it was none other than Tandoor…I was damn hungry and my feet had tired too…:D, had some sumptuous dinner…my taste buds were very happy…the entire ambience made me feel as if I was in India all of a sudden…was not interested about anything else…ordered anything and everything…all the cuisines were good….idly and panner tikka was simply great…Met many Indians there…they were from Tamil nadu/Bengal and Delhi…It was a young gal’s birthday…they had come to celebrate…
It was almost 9.30 when we came out of Indian food house…:D, one of my colleague had accompanied me…suddenly he told about the Indian Stores in the same lane…I had no clue how it would be…It was a tall building with 30 floors…yes the stores was in one of the flats…Could find most of the ready to eat items and other pooja articles…it was a Mini-shop of India…suddenly I saw few DVD’s…I had the privilege of getting Dil Chahtha Hai and Kal Ho Na Ho…apart from SRK and AK ….they both had something in common…yes its priety…:D
After a long day…left back to BaiCaoYuan…it was 12.00 in the night…unpacked the Player…and started playing DCH…started missing all of my friends, suddenly while watching the movie…felt how strange the bond of friendship/relationship is…but I cherished all those moments again…Now I have found a weapon to demolish the Nostalgia…It was 3 AM when I entered the dream world…
The after math of the late sleep was I missed Sunday morning breakfast…:(, again the same routine on Sunday too…but one of my other friend wanted to buy the player this time…:D
