All roads lead to Mohan Nagar on 11th. Especially the ones whereon the houses of IETian are located. Those lead to a Cricket Ground rhyming with one of the greatest, MMCG-the Mohan Maekins Cricket Ground. (One M less, it could have unfolded to Melbourne Cricket Ground.)
The Road to MMCG is in fact the road to Lucknow-the NH-24. The very road whereon the Lambu Ka dhaba and incidentally IET too is located. A 1/2K milestones more and it is back to yesterday. See, it is not serendipity that has made us congregate at this place.
For those living in any part of non- East Delhi including GGN, just drive down the Lucknow highway (NH-24)! You would find the stopover.
For that cross the River via Nizamuddin-the sufi- flyover. Cross Akshardham too. All roads lead to the ONE. Go east till you find the famous and busy crossroads of Ghazipur. Cross it too at green. Keep straight. Fly over the 8-lane flyover to the land of IET. You would see the pearly gates (they officially as well as colloquially call it the UP Gate) right at the descent of your flight. Enter those. Welcome. You are there, almost. Turn left toward Dabur. This stretch of road is called NH-58 and joins the NH-24 Bypass with the GT Road. Cross the Rail lines going to Lucknow (well, lines are going nowhere, only trains on them) via Mohan Nagar Overbridge. This overbridge is under expansion as more and more IETians are heading across it. Soon it will be able to let through all of them without hassles. Beyond this you will find yourself teeing on to the GT Road, which is the NH-24 at this point. All roads want to go to Lucknow it seems! Not agaaaain, roads are not going, it is we who are doing so. Don't. This time round. Take a U-turn after turning right. Because we are still not going to Lucknow. We are making do with the MMCG. You need not be guided any further. Travel beyond this is self guiding. The place would smell, sight and sound of IET.
