Buy Diamonds in Delhi with Just a Few Bucks in Pocket

What is the definition of a diamond? It is something that you can wear on your hands or neck once in a while and be happy that it shines brightly in a party. It is meant to make you happy at the end, which I suppose anything else can do as well. In my opinion, food is something that gives me equal happiness as diamonds. I am a big-time foodie, and l like to experiment with foods all around Delhi. Rather than spending one lakh bucks on a piece of tiny stone, I would rather be happy with bare hands and spend that money on life experiences.

Food travel rather than anything else is my cup of tea, and I can spend any amount of money on it. Travel, at least in India, costs much less than diamonds, and it suits my current state of earning. I would surely buy a diamond for myself rather than expect it from my guy, but I want to win many more experiences before that. Let me share a few instances when I had the best time of my life, in addition to delicious food, in Delhi.

The Qila  

The Qila is situated in Qutub Institutional Area in a quaint region in Delhi. I just love this area because of the peace it provides. Being there with my spouse before marriage for a romantic candlelight dinner was one of the most breathtaking feelings ever. It was the time when I did not know him much, and we talked for an hour on the terrace of the restaurant under the full moon. The best thing about the place is that no one disturbed our piece as we stood there in each other’s arms watching the moon. Nowhere in Delhi or India have I experienced such a place where I can sit with my partner for an endless time without any interruption. 

When we returned, we were welcomed with complimentary snacks, to begin our wine. The bread, I must say, tasted delectable with the sauces. The quantity of food is not what you look for at such places, but the experience of being with someone you love with all your heart. The time spent at a restaurant like The Qila is much more precious than anything in the world. I still look at the lone picture we got clicked from a person, and the smile on our faces is priceless. No diamond in the world can give me that smile when I wear it, but looking back at those memories can. After we got married this December, we still rent a car without driver every time we wish to have a fantastic drive and have a great time together. Again, the feeling of being in each other's company is the most precious feeling for me. Yes, I would like to have many more diamond-like candle-light dinners in future with my bae in all corners of the world.

How I Returned to Normal Lifestyle after Being a Nomad

Pune is indeed a beautiful place to live and work; it can mesmerize anyone as it did to me. I have, never in my life, ran into a person who has visited Pune and chinwag bad things about it. After a friend, who works in Vodafone Pune, invited me to spend some time with her several times in the last five year, I decided to give it a shot this time. I booked the tickets after Diwali and thought of spending a couple of weeks in Pune. Since the stay was going to be free, I knew that I was going to have a cheap trip.

I don't want to blabber about what I did and saw in the city of Millennial but the major thing that happened to create a dent in my life. Everything was going well as I stayed at my friend's place, ate whatever I wanted, went wherever I felt like and did whatever suited me. There was a birthday party that I had to attend in a Club in Pune when I met, Ashish, who liked people to call him James. So this guy, James was a nomad from Delhi; being from the same city made me connect to him instantly. As he narrated his story of being a nomad, how he began, and how he carries on his life; he impressed me so much so that I ended up being a nomad myself in the next six months. 

Missing family 

However, it was not a very good decision of my life. I did not think much before giving up my job as a travel writer, but I did regret it later. One thing that I missed the most was my family after being away from them for an entire year. I used to run away from my parents and siblings till the time I lived with them, but once I was forced not to meet them, I missed them like anything.

Money issues 

Finances were never a problem for me because fortunately, I come from an affluent family. Yet, I could not adjust to the fact that I am not earning for myself. After two years of toiling in a lavish corporate job, I had apparently become habitual of spending my money without answering to anyone. Now that I had to ask money from the family to survive in the initial period of my nomadic life, I used to hate it from the core of my heart. I wanted to get back to financial independence so that I could make any expenses without thinking.

How I rebounded to normalcy  

Another thing that I did not like about the nomadic lifestyle is that I could not stay committed to my boyfriend. He would be annoyed with me more often than he would be pleased with me. I would Rent Cars in Pune during the initial months and leave for a remote place to find solace, which never went down well with him. He would be often worried about my whereabouts, so much so that he threatened me to break up the relationship if I did not return to Delhi. 

After not being in touch with him for a couple of months, I realized that the nomadic lifestyle might be suitable for many people around the world, but it was not made for me. I used to think that I never liked living in a family, but being alone for a couple of years in a row made me understand the value of loved ones. Never in my life, I would think about being a nomad again.
