Leaving Kashmere Gate
Leaving Kashmere Gate
Having reached Kashmere Gate, I trooped into Lord Hanuman Temple at 9 AM with those in attendance in no mood to furnish details on EVMs. EVMs of late in India had got bad press from those filing reports in you tube as mainstream media is biased, and barely does factual reporting, and is primarily govt aiding. From stampedes to Treasury section stonewalling queries from Opposition benches, this media blanks out such reports, and primarily drawing life from ads that govt of the day approves. This media has no spine, and on issues of national import it does not feel the need to court. Hanging by minimal facts, this media quite proportionately draws ire of the common man, and there won't be substance change till these muddy guys sight on roads infamous tanks.
Visiting This Place Even Before 2006
With the temple rush showing no sign of receding, I came out soon, and this famed temple is open on Tuesday beyond noon. Even before 2006 I have been visiting this temple, and during that time one could sit in the adjoining hall and put in a prayer but nothing of that sort now as moments spent inside is even less than a minute with some having understood the benefits of having in the evening doughnuts. Hailed an auto with the automan hailing from Motihari in Bihar Province, and I was assured the ride would be minus hiccups as all along I avoided meeting those going by the name Lukas. As the auto went past bustling Chandni Chowk, thoughts turn to Lord Hanuman Temple in Tughlak Road, and memories it can evoke. Thoughts as well turn to Nathdwara, Lord Shreenath Place in Rajasthan Province, which draws devotees round the year. Go past buzzing Delhi Gate, ITO and here no thoughts on places named El Dorado. Once in Sikandra Road followed by Ferozeshah Road, the trains passing through Kanpur and Mughalsarai in Uttar Pradesh Province bring back the memories of inflated power bills given the introduction of smart metres as those assigned the task of installing the same are by and large not neutral. When would UP residents be freed from pricey bills no one knows as this State has least seen investments from large set of business house some of which have long pending grouse.
Are We To See Infiltration By Boats During Ferocious Monsoon?
The auto was moving in regulated speed, and as it left Krishi Bhawan, Railway Bhawan and Sunehri Bagh Road in quick succession, some among these places were homes to govt offices, the very govt that does not give choices. Going past Dr A P J ABDUL KALAM ROAD, the auto leans towards Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Road perhaps the nasty monsoon season can well see infiltration by boats. Measured monsoon would be welcome, the battle with fierce one would be tiresome. Going past Vinay Marg, Nehru Park, G Avenue, the auto was amidst traffic that was by no means burnout, and showed allegiance towards a traffic regime that had closed doors on touts. Going past Sarojini Nagar Railway Station and Sree Vinayaka Mandir Marg, the auto ride was sum total of expectations one has from Delhi City where during noon some watch incriminating DVD.

The Ride To Kashmere Gate In Delhi
Thursday, December 18, 2025
Trying To Figure Out Way To Reach Kashmere Gate In The Heart Of Delhi
Trying To Figure Out Way To Reach Kashmere Gate In The Heart Of Delhi
Having Left Home On A Tuesday at 7.40 (AM), thoughts to cross over to Kashmere Gate were mired in a state of uncertainty given the smog that moved around untamed in this very own Indian city. Went past Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church, and moments later the locks to the gates next to Shipyard House showed in fine print who had the clout. As I waded into ring road with sum total of buses like 724 (Nehru Place), 588 (Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium), 727 (Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium), 567 (Sarai Kale Khan), 479 (Badarpur Border), 392 (Sector 62 Noida), 794 (Hazrat Nizamuddin Station) moving past Nauroji Nagar bus stand in a city where any number of people feel blessed to carry multiple PAN (Permanent Account Number). Mind you these places are in the heart of Delhi with thunder maintained by Mother Dairy.
Thoughts Turn To SVBC
As thoughts turn to SVBC (Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel), perhaps this channel would be flooded with requests to beam proceedings from Tirumala where peace is much cherished with none anticipating any trouble. As Haryana Roadways buses from Rewari and Gurugram having entered Delhi are on a unstoppable ride, these cities in Haryana State have their set of challenges that come in crate. Right from potable drinking water to water required for bathing coming at irregular interval to diminishing returns recorded in employment theatre, and here the improvisation provisions looking to be a riddle.
Cash Transfers And These Are No Oscars
Haryana The State has miles to go, receding million options to plough in the backdrop of its dream to be an industrialised province in a nation where the art of galvanising voters through cash transfers (cash recharge) would be taken note of by different set of election commissioners who would have credentials as rock solid as Pope. Just in the electoral minefield one had the gall to seek votes by setting the cash registers ringing spells trouble and new set of election commissioners would be regime rebel. None looking indispensable, more looking amenable to an idea that million and million in this country go to bed with no food feed, and if this lot is promised cash prize of Rs 10,000 in electoral arena, they would welcome this moolah kit. The nation is watching, and the election commissioners in dire need of poll coaching. This is an aberration, and election commissioners have not looked into this, and future poll commissioners would be one with no party agenda, and that would be a bliss. Let the public not rise in revolt as such malpractices primarily shows elections can be bought and sold.
As I waited for the bus, there were others like 568 going to Safdarjung, 743 (B) Sarai Kale Khan, 623 to Sahadara, 543 (A) to Anand Vihar ISBT with little known which nation would pounce to sign new treaty. In the face of electoral malpractices, some regimes need to introspect as it is going to add to debt. As my bus was still at large, I found fit to wait with no word yet from Mr Gate.
