Blame it on the ghosts of all things colonial or on that minute whiff of fresh air from whatever is left of the Central Park – Dilliwalahs behave differently when in Connaught Place. From motorists stopping before the zebra crossings and letting pedestrians pass by to folks going back to return the empty glass bottles at Keventers – Dilliwalahs display contrasting behaviour while in CP than what they put up anywhere else in Delhi. It’s another matter that the same Dilliwalah will scream the choicest expletives on any other crossing at the equally unruly pedestrians. That the pedestrian would give it back to the motorist in equal doses often accompanied by some innovative gesticulations is so Delhi! Why, even the high priestess of Modi’s government, Ms Smriti Irani, is believed to frequent Starbucks at CP without her entourage (and airs, of course!) preferring to stand in the queue just like other lesser mortals of Delhi. So what’s it about CP, Dilliwalahs?
