Back then I was working with Aricent and was staying as a PG (Paying Guest). My Aunt’s house is in Rohini and I used to visit her and family every weekend, traveling all the way from Gurgaon to Rohini...!!
Phew..!! Now when I imagine... I wonder how I managed to do so... week after week for about 6 months... (August 2006 - December 2006) !! On a typical Saturday, at around 9 am, I would start my journey from the PG accommodation at Sector 22, Gurgaon.
1. My PG was inside an alley, so a rickshaw to the main road -Old Gurgaon Road.
2. On the Old Gurgaon Road, a shared auto to the Kapashera border (Delhi-Gurgaon Border).
3. A DTC bus (Route number- 729) from Kapashera border to Dhaula Kuan.
4. Another DTC bus from Dhaula Kuan to Wazirpur Bus Depot.
5. From the bus depot, walking for a while to the nearest metro station - Netaji Subhash Place Metro Station and boarding a metro.
6. Finally getting down at the Rohini West Metro Station, the last leg of journey on a Rickshaw to the my Aunt's house.
The distance from Gurgaon to Rohini is around 35-36 kilometers ... and the travel time between 2-3 hours...!!
Although those trips were by no standards even close to comfortable... they were definitely adventurous and interesting...!! As I recollect one of those typical trips, I am smiling. It sure was lot of fun. :):)
