Weekend trip on Delhi Metro and Garmukteshwar

After lotsa complaints that i'm not taking them anywhere inspite of a trip to Amritsar Golden temple and Wagah, i thought my parents were expecting a ride around the city of Delhi. Ruling out those regular boring stuff like Shopping, Qutub Minar, India Gate, and Bahai temple i decided to take them a ride on the Delhi Metro train. Fortunately on April 1 st a section of Delhi Metro opened on the weekend in Dwarka, where my relatives stay too at a walkable distance from the station. So i combined the trip so that we wud visit the relatives and also go on a ride in the Delhi Metro.

Stationing my car @ my relatives, we headed to the Dwarka Sector 10 station. The station was much similar in appearance of New Castle, UK with clean corridors sans toilets(they were being built), Escalators, etc.. Convincing my parents that not everybody gets their legs struck in the escatator took some time(since they were mentioning some incidents involving stupid relatives/friends...some one in that had even ill-advised to take Indian Passport to go to Delhi from Chennai via air).

Then i bought a ticket to Tilak Nagar which is some 6 stops away from Dwarka. My parents seems to enjoy the ride very much, i chose Tilak nagar because there the underground section of the Delhi Metro meets the Overhead one. Though they insisted on travelling in the underground section too, i put off the decision as it wont be much enjoyable.

Next day since the encounter with the modern world was thru, i planned a trip to Garmukteshwar which is 80 KM from my place. A bath in Ganges helped them to fill the void for not visiting Haridwar/Rishikesh. Took them on a boat ride for an hour with a bath in the middle in the river. Then visited a nearby temple before taking a detour to my paradise.

All this i had to do to get rid of the 4-5 course south indian food being made@home on the weekend.
