Dwarka’s believe it or not…
Over the last few weeks many people have asked us why we chose, of all the places in Delhi, to live in Dwarka. Isn’t it boring? Are there any restaurants? What do you do for coffee or IIT coaching? What do you do with the money you save on rent?
And we say:
1. No it is not. We have old men who come outside our window every morning and do laughing yoga. I have never had better digestion in my life.
2. There are tons of restaurants. KFC, Bercos, Moti Mahal, Colonels Kababz and, most of all, KFC.
3. There is a Costa right across the road from an Akaash Institute.
4. I buy Blackberrys. The missus buys blankets. We have two of the former and thirty-seven of the latter. Apparently blankets are a Delhi thing. The in-laws gift us three or four every weekend. We have no idea where they keep them. My ‘study and writing room’ is now mostly a ‘blanket and knitted goods room with laptop.’
But the single most important reason we have moved to Dwarka is for the cultural scene. Surprised? Don’t be. Peruse below the poster of one such cultural phenomenon snapped by the missus at Dwarka Sector 5 market, near the ICICI bank on Saturday. Watch in wonder. Also weep:
Faaaahhhhhhn Claaaahhhhhb
I particularly like those spectacles.
Those two heads at the bottom, if you are wondering, are the national chairman and the Delhi chairman of the fan club.
P.s. I do not mean to mock Kumar Sanu or his fans. That man was truly a bollywood phenomenon in his time.
P.s.s. But then so was Mamta Kulkarni. I am just saying.

These fan clubs still exist in this day and age !!! lol….
The guy looks like dawood ibrahim doesnt he ???? in those goggles !!
Cultural phenomenon alrite !!
I had an uncle living in Dwarka Sector 10 while I was undergoing an MBA in Delhi and used to visit him (almost) every weekend. Having spent a lot of time there, I can vouch for the “excitingness” of Dwarka.. Lots of second-hand booksellers, and a priceless hoardings, in particular (A Chinese food vendor had “Chowmein Hee Chowmein” plastered in huge red letters plastered over his “thela”), made days there a joy..
Even became a “Charter Member” of the local Toastmasters.. So, yes! Lots to do in Dwarka.. And with CP only a metro ride away.. The possibilities are endless!
Lol! How do I join the fan club?
I got blankets in my wedding. Several of them. And winters now are about 15 days and a few hours long…
I like blankets.
This is not so bad, until you see the posters in Bangalore/Mysore! The only way you can make out the star, is by virtue of him/her/it(!!!) being bang in the center of all those headshots!
p.s. The disclaimer found in the post applies to this comment too!!!
Saason ki zaroorat hai jaise
Saason ki zarooooooooooorat hai hai jaise, zindagi ke liye…
Bas ek blanket chahiye missus ke liye?
*Forgot to add the tyaun-tyaun-tyaun-tyaun-tyaun-tyaun-tyaun-tyaun-tyaun.
never been to Delhi,since im from south..now i don't want to…..neday 'amma' is better than Kumar Shanu…hahahhehe…
I have to go and check this out now! And ummm this is the same market as the Costa and Pizza Hut right?
*as the one with Costa and Pizza Hut…
Belgum to Dilli. More posters await your inspection and comment
Fan club is not surprising.. But the poster itself mocks the whole thing about the club!
Are you sure it was Kumar Sanu and not Don D himself???
hahahaha….
Oooh! Dwarka just gained an extra cookie. Hot sunglasses.
Kumar Sanu was more than just a phenomenon. My wife would insist that he was a phenonair. His tremulous voice had an etheral quality that was well..ether like.
KFC in dwarka? where?
apart from the ones you already mentioned….there's a nirulas at sector 4 petrol pump….but what id really recommend is the thali from apni rasoi, a small eating joint in sector 4 market….
its just not a Dwarka phenomenon…its i guess a WEST DELHI phenomenon…lots of those in paschim vihar area tooo
following ur blog since ur pre n post marriage days, n lookin up comments tht form a reputation fr u of sorts, i have a hunch…u put tht poster in(on) there!.. u came to this place thinkin its cheap n close to the metro, bt with all the raised eyebrows questioning ur choice u decided to distract these ppl..n wat better way than to pick on himesh baba's secret nasal idol who was apparently last seen with a red cap bearing his protege's signature!..
way to go man..
Sidin Sunny Vadukut
Piggin Chaddi Phadukut lololololololzzzz!!!!!!

and the roads ain't half as crowded. i neva lived there though. but really the blankets giving thingy is so delhi and wintry. hmphhh! u made me miss dilli. sigh!
rotfl! the poster made my day. thanku thanku.
Lol..never seen such love for Dwarka anywhere in Delhi! I like this place though…add 1 more recommendation to your “Note & Forget” list
-> American Chopsuey from Bite n Sip…the world famous chinese cart in Sec 6 market 
Will reserve my comments for “Drink N Dine”, “Golden Dragon” et al
oh man….plz convey my thanks to your missus for snapping this one….its frickin funny..and yes ,..those spectacles in particular.LMAO!!
Nice ones! I read the last two.Wadala to Dwarka at Delhi – that's some journey. Can't say you are going places. See you!
Dwarka will soon be on poster war! The poster boy of blogspot will be competing with Kumar Sanu!!!!
D war ka and diwaar ka outcome kya hoga??? Please check with missus and reply.
well mamta kulkarni could be called the 'mother' of today's items girls ( she might object to being called mother
))…….anywayz do check out my colg campus NSIT, dwarka sector-3, opp. to the front gate is a dhaba that serves chilled beer!!!
How suicidal can one get. Sigh!
I know what it is to live in a small city. 5 years ago Mangalore had only 1 coffee day outlet. Now i heard it has about 4. Some of my relatives in Bangalore talk to me as if I live in a forest instead of a city.
Eh? What did you say? How was that again?
Ok you are correct. Damn!
Man! I had no idea the Big D had so many excellent eateries. I already have more menus than fridge magnets at home. If you know what I mean…
Surely you mean child bear Rahul?
Oh god. You guys think the missus signs off everything no?
You are correct.
- Missus.
Mangalore also has some excellent pubs no?
Not to mention the culture.
Put them together and you get…???
lolllz…well you find that too in the uninhabited flats/societies of Dwarka or the forests that adjoin them..best of luck!!
Ahem… is that the group photo of the fan club meeting?
welcome to saddi dilli. holler if you need help or just plain entertainment. yes, we're rather entertaining. and if you need to sun those blankets, you can use our balcony!
okay seriously, again – why dwarka? why not noida or gurgaon at the very least?! :p
Just got here from Dhiren's blog..and loved this one..
KS fan club!lol!
yeah Dwarka questions are a regular too here:)but love the place:)
u are going on my blog roll:)
[...] Frequent readers of this blog will be aware of how we are big fans of Dwarka sub-city here. Largely because we live there and no one else we know does. Or will. Sigh. For instance we were excited a few weeks ago when we discovered that Dwarka houses one of the more popular film related brotherhoods in the country: the Kumar Sanu fans’ club. [...]
this sunglasses were cool, is this for campaign or what?
i want to believe that they are not that good in what they say.
