The pleasure of exploring

Dear Mausam,

Do you know what I like the best about a new city? The pleasure of exploring the roads and building the map of the city in the mind.
I experience this feeling whenever I move into a new city. It happened when I moved to chandigarh, it happened when i moved to delhi. The only difference is I had a vehicle in those cities but I travel by foot here.
I feel completely lost for a first few days in a new city,then I think,what the heck lets find out about the city my own way,Lets travel on this road,to see where it ends up to and it's such a joy when you land up on the next crossing and you co-relate it with your earlier visit. I can truly understand the Eureka feeling which Newton had when he saw the apple falling.There is a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of confidence.
My mind rolls back to my childhood days when I used to "find new routes" in phagwara with Hammy on bikes. We used to travel in the by-lanes of the city and at one point in time we knew every nook and corner of it.ohh good old days... Time to get on with the day!

Regards,
Ajj Kaim
