Delhi Is Set For A Cold Spell, And With No Readymade Tales To Tell And Yell

Delhi Is Set For A Cold Spell, And With No Readymade Tales To Tell And Yell

Having visited public sector bank, it was time to spare a thought for those who wish to travel to Chennai, perhaps have meeting of minds with GM Tours And Travels personnel in Rameswaram, Mr Anna Durai. Spoke to Mr Durai on December 25 after returning from Church and nearby restaurant, a day when stories on emancipation released no anectodes bordering smirk. Coming to those who have episodes to narrate, and carry cola in crate, their prime wish and whisper is all about the pressing need to travel to Chennai from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin, and here vacant slots are all taken and nothing left in journey pot. Vacant slots don't come effortlessly, and one has to try on and on with no contacts made with touts who have perhaps been divested of crown.  Inroads made by touts now at the centre where train reservation charts are prepared is something better left for imagination in a nation where most students take maths tuition. Maths tuition, and that too during winter days is a necessity, and right from Delhi to Dakar post tuition some are wrapped in moments of gaiety.

Checking Train Seat Availability

Checking seat availability some hours ago in Chennai Rajdhani Train going to Chennai Central for Wednesday, December 31 in 3AC (WL 32), 2AC (WL 18) and 1A (WL 6) with least chance of getting a confirmed berth from a city where primarily the clean air is in brevity. There is no dearth of evidence to suggest that intoxicated air would remain as it is, and for the next two months residents would be vary of a weather that would be smog heavy, and keep them edgy. Bang on target, Delhi is set for a cold spell, and with no readymade tales to tell and yell. For this very reason the residents would like to go to Chennai, and with no seats, they would probably settle for two-month gigs. Checking seats for Jan 2, the picture was no different with WL 126 in 3AC,  WL 48 in 2AC and WL 7 in 1A, the very day when people come in groups to pray. Coming to Jan 7, in 3AC WL 32, in 2AC RAC 26 and in 1A WL 1,  and some noticing this state of affairs set in motion their water pump. With series of wait listing there is no point in taking a train to Chennai as Rajdhanis don't allow wait listed passengers on board, with no room for maneuverability even for those coming from city nicknamed Angers wearing court. 

The sole course left for varied set of passengers would be to take a train from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin to Bhopal, and thereafter take another train to Vijayawada, and another one to Chennai and be sporting enough to watch performances of Mr Lively whose first name is Ernie. That set of journey would be time consuming with spillover of irritants, and here one would be able to better manage all of this with no need to establish contact with travel agents who are city tenants. Let this journey go forward as Delhi weather hits the likes of Robert.

Vast Swathes Of North India In Grip Of Fog, And No Sighting Of War Hawk

Vast Swathes Of North India In Grip Of Fog, And No Sighting Of War Hawk

As reports began to emerge that Delhi and other places in North India had been inviting enough to be embraced by fog, the day to day activities had come to a partial standstill with none in a mood to take a pill. From visiting cinema theatres to meeting those who were garden curators, all plans had gone for a toss in a nation where there are negligible remnants of those who were the previous boss. As in the city of Delhi when temperatures during morning plummet to 6 (Degrees Celsius) and below some come to blow. For the very reason when they hit the road they were not able to trace parking space next to a park, and they lost temper despite having sighted lark. Arguments amidst park continued well into afternoon with none noting that they had discovered their loved ones here in the month of June.

Temperatures In No Mood To Gain Traction, And Delhi Still A Big Attraction

With temperatures in no mood to gain traction, the fog-hit Delhi is still a big attraction. Some take Howrah Rajdhani from Kolkata The City primarily to visit Delhi to get a dose of ditty. Knowing fairly well that Delhi hosts parties welcoming those with shoestring budget, and in these gatherings lottery train tickets are offered priced single digit. But to make it to Delhi is no easy task given the haphazard convoy movement from dawn to dusk. The train that was supposed to take 17 hours, consumed over and above 25, and here on bone chilling weather rumours partly thrive. Reports that loco pilots have visibility issues with swathes of rail tracks having on either side swathes of people who are not supposed to pay tax with tissues. Swathes of people on either side confirm that rural hinterland is no less than a gem, and from here growth story won't be subjected to pun.

Schools, Colleges Shut, And Those Aligned To Reels Hut

As dense fog swathes North India reports chip in, schools and colleges next to a collectorate are closed, and reopening can only usher in when sea of humanity can propose with a rose. For the days the educational institutions remain shut students deem fit to prepare reels standing next to empty rail tracks to half filled airports as trains and flights have fewer boarding with none going by the name Mr Bose. With flights taking to the sky looking dismal, trains looking less punctual, some try to stay indoors in North Indian cities with irregularities seen among those running vacation eateries. This bone chilling weather, and those in attendance likely to dither, sumptuous treat may not be the icing in the cake as railways have yet to figure out rock solid rakes.

Aravalli Hills' Need A Breather

Aravalli Hills' Need A Breather

With courts taking a stand that could get the Aravalli Hills the will to stay and play, time is ripe to see to it that illegal mining to illegal detention is set aside, and those stationed there have choices and voices. Choices that they be allowed to get on with day schedule with no disruptions, and with whatever situation they are made to put up with they be not dismissed as loose cannons. Those staging protests across country seeking forest rights should not be detained, and their persuasive skills be noted and entertained. 

Secure Forest Rights

Forest rights are not the one to be trampled with, and here powers that be trying to do the same would trip. Those in governance huts, they better take note of tribals and painful journey they lead, and on other side champions of cash should do away with greed. Champions of cash can't be allowed to infiltrate into roadmap of India, and here courts need to keep a tab on such elements who have imprints in other parts of Australia Asia. From Chhattisgarh to hamlets with retro huts, all need a saving grace, and here fiddling with nature buoyancy can never evoke praise.

Why Public Sector Banks Could Not Spare More On Savings Account

Why Public Sector Banks Could Not Spare More On Savings Account

With no likelihood of being a spendthrift, I was waiting for the day when interest on savings account would materialise with no guise. Waiting for that grand day, and hoping to get something substantial on tray, I first established contact with call centre to confirm whether it was a working day or rest one as most public sector banks are sitting on a sizeable sum. Assured the bank was not on a holiday, I ventured out with Delhi The City in the thick of smog, and some with perennial upshot diving into river from well made and maintained yacht which these days with ease can be sold and bought. When I visited the bank, those who trooped inside were not lean and thin, some depositing over 50K as that was the sum total of desire to lend every month for using the services of gym. Perhaps in this city there are some with deep pockets, and come in high income brackets, profligate every minute, every hour, and taking shower in properties of Five Star. After taking shower in Five Star these guys visit nearby Bazaar to get familiar with prices of veggies, and if they have to host a party on a grand scale, they may well have visitors who post party are willing to go to Goa to meet Mr Gayle. 

The Update Was Surprising

I was eagerly waiting for my turn as the bank personnel was busy attending to the gentleman who had no desire to conceal his wealth, and with over 50K a day the trucks in the corridors of power could very well tilt. Having counted the cash which was over and above 50K, the bank personnel was amused, and this gentleman watched at random tennis proceedings reaching the stage of deuce. When my turn came I was eager to leave early as any objections to my hand writing and signature could take me away from sessions of derby. With one set of mission accomplished, I made to Passbook kiosk to get the new updates, and to my horror the interest with no submissions to intern was depressingly low, and this could even knock Mr Gates. With interest so low that it could not fetch a train ride, I believed the govt of the day takes pride in wresting resources of the common man, and has clandesine designs akin spam.

Low Interest Has Telltale Signs

This interest, which is surprisingly low, has telltale signs that govt of the day wishes to keep certain business houses in good humour, and with least respect for common man who don't want to bump into a General and his generator, and the garden curator. These are hard days, and one better keep a watch on their savings as this regime does not give a latitude, and by no means prude. Gone are the days when one could take a train and not triangle ride to Bhusaval (Maharashtra Province) anticipating little trouble. Gone are the days when one could take a train ride to Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh Province) with hints of evara. The regime has done away with evara, and giving to most ED Peda.

Tracking Chennai Rajdhani Train Movement

Tracking Chennai Rajdhani Train Movement

As Chennai Rajdhani (Train Number 12434) left Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin on December 26 after 3.30 PM, few occupants of Delhi had the will and the whisper to hold AGM ( Annual General Meeting). With this train bound to negotiate 2174 kms in a span of two days, when Delhi The City with alarming spell battling haze, and in due course of time going to rattle the weather base. The AQI almost receding to 500 quarter, the administration could smell the clean drive in a dither. Perhaps the train departing from Agra Cantt at 5.59 (behind schedule 27 minutes) relayed this historical place in Uttar Pradesh Province was much better prepared to rein in poor air, and could bring on board anecdotes to shine and share. 

From Gwalior And Jhansi The Departure Behind Schedule

From Gwalior the departure at 7.16, and from Jhansi 8.32, behind schedule at both places, and here during night time some retaining aces. When Bhopal with no tales of brawl was accessed, it was well after 11.30, still 1480 kms to be covered, and if this convoy could during entire run stick to its itinerary on time mind you, such set of trains are revered. The convoy's arrival eight minutes before schedule in Nagpur (Maharashtra Province) at 4.57 AM, and here no pressing need to keep a close watch around railway stations on series of ATM. From Balharshah (Maharashtra Province) the departure at 8.08, and from Warangal (Telangana Province) at 11.36, and some here on 10-months gigs. From Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh Province) the leaving time 2.45 PM, and here some placing thoughts on a road in Egmore in Chennai going by the name Pandian. From here the convoy was behind schedule 15 minutes, and still 430 kms to figure out in a nation where there is off and on lottery bout. When the convoy finally made it to Chennai Central (Tamil Nadu Province) it was at 8.14, 46 minutes before schedule, and here passengers entitled to drool.

Visiting FREE CHURCH In New Delhi On December 25

Visiting FREE CHURCH In New Delhi On December 25

On A Thursday had the opportunity to  access Middle Section Of Delhi The City with what I could gain from worship session in Free Church Parliament Street was the improvisation one could bring in day to day life, and no session  should be dismissed as trite. Life is a fest mirroring challenges and turnaround akin seasons that are in full bloom, and with varied dose of fusion. The need to reach out to downtrodden, and those on margins of society was the sum total of dispatch from this church and attending batch. Those leading a life in isolationist shell need to be taken care of, and Jesus Christ is here to guide one and all, and his teachings season after season evolve. Leave Home at 9.50 AM, and have the first opportunity to visit Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church located in Safdarjung Enclave, and spend some moments there, and the full house suggests people are ever ready to imbibe teachings from Christianity in entirety. Moments later board auto with Mr Sunil Kumar from Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh Province at the helm, and I assured the ride to Next To Parliament Street would be fun. Go past Sarojini Nagar Depot with Snack Like A Champion American Quality Pistachios ad on the back of a DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) Bus which while on road should not engineer defection and stress. As we are on Africa Avenue go past Yashwant Place, Chanakya Bhawan at 10.17, and during these hours we hope no one would shy away from opening their canteen. Go past Nehru Park, Lord Hanuman Temple and Hotel Ashok in a ride when the Sun's fearlessness and boldness are poles apart in a city that welcomes visitors from Asian Nations Kitty.

No Word Yet On Strength Of Prime Tourists To New Delhi

Who would be prime tourists from this region visiting New Delhi as New Year rolls out not known perhaps the camaderie shared is all captured by drone. As we are on Panchsheel Marg followed by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Marg, the ride to gain access to Tughlak Road comes around 10.23 with this section for the time being making no random calls for potable water plea. Perhaps the urgency to store water may kick in requisite time in a nation when legal statements to this effect would be giant. The nation's resolve to save this precious resource would set in calls for a prudent management from Gurgaon (Haryana Province) to Goregaon (Maharashtra Province), and this would be 24x7 engagement. As the auto went past Sunehri Bagh Road, Udyog Bhawan and Rail Bhawan, the increase in rail fare in India was uncalled for from day one. If railways can't sew up leverage for travelling, there is no pressing need to bring in increased rail tariff, and more urgent is to secure tracks, and see to it they don't develop weather crystal clear cracks. With most tracks saturated, and running of trains not deserted, there is a wish and a prayer that pleothora of train running raise steady anecdotes to share. The auto went past Shram Shakti Bhawan, Vitthal Bhai Patel House, and reaching Next To Parliament Street at 10.29, and weather looking fine. Go past Akashvani Bhawan, and reach Free Church at 10.30. 
 
Worship Session Inside FREE CHURCH

The worship session inside is something to cheer bringing on board niceties of life and the threads that drive and thrive. Being benevolent, caring for the masses, and steps to seek emancipation won't be a tough route to negotiate in a world that gives thumbs down to campaign of hate. Hate has no room in a world where sizeable section would like to occasionally croon. This church was established almost 100 years ago, and garden fetes to choral fests usher in each year, and this is something to relish and share. More importantly, the Inauguration Of the Church Of North India came about on November 29 in the year 1970 in All Saints' Cathedral in Nagpur in Maharashtra Province. This set the stage for Christian Community to unify with great thunder. 

Visiting YMCA New Delhi As Well

As the worship session extended beyond 12, more were eager to hang on to messages relayed as well as chew on renovation work that was to begin once clearances were obtained from different departments. Perhaps it could begin as early as January, and hope the administration has enough reserves with no curbs. The crowd began to disperse after 12.30, and I after having coffee and cake deemed fit to leave and finding myself blessed to be part of this august gathering which was all the more caring. I visited YMCA New Delhi restaurant and here Mr Omkar and Mr Kannan Barman were helpful. Having noted Mr Kannan hailed from Siliguri and I took this opportunity to elaborate on North Bengal, and gateway to NorthEast, and probably the third largest urban space after Kolkata and Asansol, and here visitors are on a roll.

Varied Thoughts While On A South Section Delhi Outing; Articles Of Faith

Varied Thoughts While On A South Section Delhi Outing; Articles Of Faith

Having checked temperatures in different cities some days ago, Shimla (Himachal Pradesh Province) recorded 6 degrees celsius, Udhagamandalam (Tamil Nadu Province) 14 and Delhi 13 with notable absentee being those cities which were not at ease with least peace breeze. Probably the temperature recording could not be done in a host of cities in the face of inclement weather, and they in existential dilemma due to series of rider. Rider from runaway inflation hitting hard one after another, and traffic hysteria, and that too tied in knots as vehicles were purchased after sale of ancestral plot. It was against this temperature I set out to explore Southern Section Of Delhi on a Friday, and having gone past Green Fields School, the next sighting was nonetheless Embassy Of The Republic Of Mali, and undercurrents of uneasiness here reported in a section of World Press which is under negligible stress. Few moments later there are directions to Chanakyapuri, JNU (JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY),  and at 9.29 reaching Africa Avenue. I reach ST. Thomas Church at 9.33 followed by sighting of traffic on road sprinkled with bikes, cars and bicycles which down the months would consume more hours to reach destinations as traffic movement would be theatrical. 

Go Past Central Govt Employee Residence R K Puram

Go past Central Govt Employee Residence R K Puram Sector 2 where some section of govt staff flag concern on whopping inflation post coffee brew. With I on service road reaching SRI VENKATESWARA MANDIR MARG was no big task, and reaching aforementioned place at 9.43 followed by Ber Sarai at 9.55 in a city where rumours on Kanpur and Mughalsarai occasionally thrive. These two cities in Uttar Pradesh Province are sometimes besieged with events riding on prominence. These happenings may well be inflation hitting home budget, and some familiar with Articles Of Faith written in 1842 by the Prophet Joseph Smith. Holding aloft 13 statements one among them men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. These 13 statements essentially carry the belief that the faith in the Jesus Christ is truly awakening, and should not be brief.

Reaching SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE In Ber Sarai

Having reached SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE in Ber Sarai, I trooped in to spend some moments and came out at 10.08 when surroundings in and around India Gate have steady traits. Here thoughts turn to Lord Ganesh Temple in Connaught Place, and Mr Krishnan who during brief interaction divulged that he hailed from Madras (Now Chennai) where traffic movement equally troublesome and worrisome. Few moments later reach IIT Hostel bus stand with worries centred on who would raise bus prank. The buses that I came across during this South Section Delhi outing were 336 (New Seemapuri), 610 (Wazirpur Depot), 523 (Bhatti Mines), 544 (Badarpur Border), 623 (Shahdara) with none tied to any tree. Mind you, these places are in the heart of Delhi City which is home to personnel of DD (Doordarshan). Board 544 (Hamdard Nagar) at 10.25 with thoughts on Ajmer, Nathdwara, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Barmer in Rajasthan Province with some sections having sand dunes. Go past Bhikaji Cama Place at 10.31 with thoughts on as varied places as Mexico and Guatemala, and residents of these places while on a much-prized visit to New Delhi taking taxi services Ola. Thoughts as well on Puri, Balasore, Cuttack in Province Odisha where there are families having names D'Souza. Go past Sarojini Nagar Bus Depot, Commonwealth Games Park, and few minutes later thoughts turn to summers, and how temperatures peak to 50 degrees celsius in Rajasthan's Churu, and ancient Indian history swelling with groups named Puru. Go past G-Avenue, Mukherjee Public School, and in SREE VINAYAKA MANDIR MARG deboard at 10.48 when the city is in thick of smog trait.

This outing clearly spelled that Delhi prevails as it has enough tales. Tales from historic roots to those in present times even in the face of smoggy weather are able to trace dudes. This outing brought on board belief that animosity be no the rule in grouping as broad as SAARC and BRICS, and they be not subjected to scrutiny and tricks .
