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. :):)

the skyline of Gurgaon has changed drastically in the last 4-5 years. and the 35 odd kms you travelled from ggn to rohini were by no standards an easy journey. but am sure it was adventurous.
Delhi DTC bus rides are an experience one must have. :)
