Reviving Childhood Experience

It was a pretty spontaneous plan to revive our childhood memories. After a long time, me and my friends went to National Zoological Park of delhi which is located close to my college and our quirky group of friends found this place a perfect relaxing hangout. It was a lovely day and i think the animals also enjoyed our company as much as we did watching them.

The zoo was pretty empty, and I could see the animals properly without being pushed around by the crowd. We went in and noticed that as you get in, you move down few sets of steps and find yourself along side a narrow stream hosting ducks. If you are attentive you would also notice that you can walk along a arrow-painted guided-path, that way you can cover the Zoo in a better way without getting lost in the myriad of cages, lawns, open enclosures and so on.

Small mini-vans are available to take people around the Delhi zoo, if they don't wanna walk. However, these vans go really fast and miss some of the enclosures. Hence, I chose to walk around the zoo, and see the animals at my leisure. There are arrows marking a trail in the ground, but these arrows were not numbered and were too confusing. I saw arrows everywhere, got confused, and then followed my own path.
