It defines home for me
Jaya Kaushik
Krishna Nagar is the definition
of home for me. I have been
living here with my joint family
since I was born and my grandparents have been living here
for the last 50 years. The entire
colony feels like an extended
family to me. All in all, the colony
is very close-knit. My attachment with the area cannot be
expressed in words.
Krishna Nagar is like a mini
Delhi. There is a lot on offer,
starting with the best part, the
commercial market. Lal Quarter
is where everything one dreams
of is available, from highend
brands to throw away shops,
from traditional sweet shops
to famous restaurants, we have
got it all. Not only this, so many
other good things are there in
this market.
We have a big public park in
the vicinity, which caters to the
need of everyone. Within the
park, there is a reserved area for
the fitness conscious. Here you’ll
find people of all ages indulging
in yoga and other exercises. The
park also sustains badminton
courts and play area for tiny
tots. I love walking barefoot on
the freshly mown grass.
The locality is well connected,
with Delhi Metro catering to
the transportation needs of the
people.
Even the journey to the Metro
station is an easy affair with
feeder buses and fatfat seva
autos readily available. The
nearby stations are Welcome
and Vikas Marg.
The youth also find the two
conveniently located malls, V3S
and Cross River, an enjoyable
affair. Fitness freaks can always
turn to the many gymnasiums
and aerobic halls available. We
also have good schools, kindergartens, tuition centres and
institutes.
The most important feature
is that necessities like hospitals
and healthcare centres are in
close vicinity of the locality.
So, I can proudly say that
Krishna Nagar is a lovely place
to live in, with lots of diversity
and wonderful people around.

My attachment with the colony cannot be expressed in words, says Jaya Kaushik.
