From India's Cleanest City Indore To Water Supply Not Looking Pretty For Sure

From India's Cleanest City Indore To Water Supply Not Looking Pretty For Sure

Having been in Delhi Cantt Railway Station for a considerable time, more thoughts were on trains that were passing through this corridor, and some tracing their long forgotten dude on board. Dude with whom they had established no contact all these years irrespective of competition to hog limelight looking fierce. Train Number 14322 Bhuj Bareilly arrives on Platform 2 followed by Delhi Rajkot train with nine AC coaches on Platform 1 at 1.48 at a time when traffic crisscrossing India Gate (India Gate Is In Heart Of Delhi) more and more berate. For the sheer fact that noise pollution peaks, and air gets as alarmingly dirty as some section of Mount Everest cheeks.  As I am whiling away the day, thoughts turn to Manipur and other North East States as well as Tamil Nadu on which reportage is extensive by media group Eenadu. North East States to Tamil Nadu may not have much in common yet the intention of the administration to make majority reap peace windfall is from Day One. 

Utter Callousness Of Madhya Pradesh Administration

As announcement is made on train number 74003 Sri Ganganagar Delhi Junction Express running behind schedule, at the same moment comes train number 20963 Varanasi Sabarmati Lucknow on Platform 2 with nonsensical looking the prized crown of Vishwa Guru (world teacher). From what angle and with what depth you can call yourself world teacher/leader when over and above 600 million people face the risk of getting contaminated water supply be it winter or the season abundantly getting hotter. Here after contaminated water episodes in Indore city came to light, the utter callousness of Madhya Pradesh administration was the news diet. Going as far back as 2013 when people had filed reports that water supply had its share of irritants, and it better be fixed in nick of time lest it becomes a troublespot giant. The administration galvanised all resources to let the word spread that Indore was declared year after year the cleanest city unmindful of the fact the city was struggling and staring at defeat in its endeavour to get basic resources to its residents, and in attendance were army of supporters to welcome politicos whose cars came from govt porticos. 

More In Disbelief Indore City Had No Neat Water Brief

Indore had won the tag of most cleanest city for eight year running yet the administration did not have perfect water tuning. Clean water that could not be supplied for a particular set of colony Bhagirathpura in Indore, and this cleanest city tag is misnomer of facts, and here the provision of basic infrastructure drag and drag. This stale water which led to family after family losing their loved ones, and those reporting health issues run into thousands, and more are in disbelief how the city could be one with no neat water brief. This dismal state of affairs continue and hit cities across India with most residents locking horns with administration in one district here and one there with chipped fear lest Central Agencies make inroads into houses of dozen and bring pain and tears. The raging battle is the pressing need to get clean air and clean water, and this extensively reported by news agencies including Reuters. 

Having noted arrival of different trains I deemed fit to leave Delhi Cantt Railway Station, and from Janak Setu I am supposed to board a bus with thoughts on Ajmer and winter visitors who come from locale named Barmer. Board bus number 588 at 2.17 and go past Kirbi Place, Thimiyan Park, and deboard at Dhaula Kuan at 2.29. Here buses from Alwar, Jhunjhunu, Jaipur  (All In Rajasthan Province), Sohna, Nuh come and I come across a gentleman looking like The Red Mike journo Mr Saurabh Shukla and his crew. Here some board taxi, some board auto with thoughts on Kyoto. Board 724 which goes past Satya Niketan, South Moti Bagh, R K Puram Sector 13, and deboard at 2.52 when some share rumours post coffee brew.

The Kashmere Gate Bus That Did Not Turn Up

The Kashmere Gate Bus That Did Not Turn Up

Leave Home On A Saturday at 3 PM. Reach Nauroji Nagar bus stand few moments later with day schedule least likely to dither. For the next 40-odd minutes I don't come across a bus headed to Kashmere Gate ISBT, and left with no option board a bus to Sarai Kale Khan ISBT at 3.55 with some vehicles amidst unseasonal vibes. The bus goes past Kalyan Jewellers and Joyalukkas stores which are a major hit in South India abutting bourse. The bus goes past Gupta Market, Lajpat Nagar, Vinobapuri, and here silence is eerie.  And in no time it is in Nehru Nagar where people are weather eager. Reach the much-touted Ashram underpass followed by Maharani Bagh at 4.32 with some sharing anecdotes of a train crew Reach Sarai Kale Khan ISBT at 4.40. With no buses in sight board auto at 4.45. There are directions to ITO, Rajghat, Anand Vihar and Ghaziabad  all prime locales in and around Delhi where the likes of journo Ravish Kumar meet Kelly.

Going Past Indraprastha Park And Shanti Stupa

The auto goes past Indraprastha Park, Shanti Stupa, Railway Road Bridge with no trains to North East India having reported any glitch. And in no time we are next to I P Depot and WHO, and for the latter worldwide budget slashed, and this having an echo. Soon we reach next to Indira Gandhi Stadium, and from here there are directions to Azadpur, Wazirabad, Karnal, and hope in some of these centres in due course of time some reap a rich haul. The auto goes past Dilli Chalo Park, and this visited by those who own modernised version of yacht.  We are in Kashmere Gate at 4.58, and here no need to study the weather trait. Enter Lord Hanuman Temple, and do the rounds with I leaving few moments later. Board auto at 5.32. And soon we go past Chandni Chowk, Red Fort, Gowri Shankar Temple in a city where bus opportunities are not ample. It is 5.45 when we are in Delhi Gate, and here serving during functions is in a seasonal plate. 

Petrol Rationing In And Around Delhi City Need Of The Hour To Keep In Check Traffic Czar

The auto goes through ITO, Sikandra Road, Ferozeshah Road, Janpath, Tughlak Road, Aurobindo Marg, Safdarjung Airport, and later Kidwai Nagar, and here insurmountable traffic gives a clarion call that they be on a tether. Petrol rationing is the need of the hour in the face of indomitable traffic, and these set of vehicles making a host of guys turn maverick. Let the vehicles in and around Delhi be made to settle for 10 litre gasoline a month as this traffic is uncivilized taunt. By 6.30 I am in Safdarjung Enclave in what was supposed to be a day when connecting buses did not turn up despite some having requisite ID, and not furnished during a long-awaited visit to a train club.

Checking Seat Availability In Trains

Checking Seat Availability In Trains

Having checked seat availability in trains going to Thrissur (Kerala Province), for train number 18189, the ride is essentially from Perambur at 12.25 PM, and reaching Thrissur at 11.50 PM with no pressing need to hold at this odd hour AGM (Annual General  Meeting). From MGR Chennai Central the expected time of departure for train number 12695 is 3.20 PM, and reaching  at 1.35 AM Thrissur where visitors are taken on a guided tour. For another set of convoy with number 22207 the expected time of departure from MGR Chennai Central is 4 PM, and reaching  at 1.15 AM Thrissur where bank accounts for those with thick wallet,  and repository of Finnish dialect are opened and maintained for sure. This train runs on Tuesday and Friday as against train number 18189 and 12695 which run all through the week irrespective of which loco pilot puts on the wig.

Waiting List Running Into Double Digit Against Saving Accounts Interest Fidget

In all these set of trains there is waiting list running into double digit against interest rate on savings account which is a meagre single digit. With such low interest rate on savings, perhaps suggesting it would stay as it is putting fewer at ease. The interest rate, and that invincibility tape, intends to convey planes can't have spendthrift mission on runway against trains plagued by tunnel tray. Trains by and large take 10 hours to complete the commute from Chennai which is often visited by GM Tours And Travels personnel Mr Anna Durai.

Against these set of trains, convoy inching towards Ajmer (Rajasthan Province) have readily available seats primarily meant for those who are expected to board from Delhi Cantt irrespective of those belonging to train clan. Clandestine won't be the designs of those designated to board and vote for Ajmer bound trains transporting one to a different world not riled by rebel looking dull.

Leave Home On A Friday

Leave Home On A Friday

Leave Home On A Friday at 11.55 with no reports on abutting pools, and those who summarily dive with no safety kit and tools. The Delhi City marooned during monsoons, and patch of land section after section no less than a pool with none in a seasonal excitement nearing drool. The city comes to a pause during monsoons, and preparations to keep the city engine revving is a manifold challenge known in as distant place as Bihar's Kiul. Go past Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church, A 1 Wing Market Safdarjung  Enclave, and reach Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 12.12 with no spotting of functionaries of DELL. Here thoughts are on punching to register attendance in offices, and some finding this to be an eternal battle with negligible choices. At this bus stand as buses with numbers TMS Sarai Kale Khan ISBT, 874 Uttam Nagar, 588 Uttam Nagar,  567 Kamruddin Nagar, 578 Chawla School 442 Azadpur, 578 E Dhansa Stand, 567 A Mundka Metro Station one can spot with ease, the commute in such set of transport one understands should be a breeze.

Thoughts On Anantapur And Tirupati In Andhra Province

There are thoughts on Anantapur and Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh Province at a time when I board 776 only to deboard at Bhikaji Cama Place, and here some set of officers are able to retain ace. As some residents of Delhi are going in a taxi, some wishing to go minus running of AC, my thoughts turn to an ad of Pioneer Academy giving coaching for SSC, Bank, NDA, CDS, State Police, DSSB, KVS, and thereby enlisting cheers. Board 724 at 12.30 and go past Sector 12 R K Puram, go past South Moti Bagh, and here visitors occasionally come from South Africa and Dusseldorf, and with least likelihood of they looking for a long-lasting job. As the bus goes past Satya Niketan, R R Lines traffic is by no means at this hour giant. Delhi Cantonment  Board Welcomes You. We Strive For A Better Civic Life spells we are very much in Delhi Cantt, and here fewer houses taken on rent. As Mount Carmel School bus passes by,  it does not take much time to reach Kirby Place, and here no vehicles in a seasonal cliffhanger chase. 

Reach Delhi Cantt Railway Station 

Reach Delhi Cantt Railway Station at 12.53 with redevelopment underway with no sighting of long arrows of tree, and here most agree. Train Number 14321 with 10 sleeper coaches and 4 AC coaches leaves at 1.09, with those inside not expected to pay any fine. This Ala Hazrat Express Train I have taken in the past while going to Ajmer to visit Khwaja Dargah, and here visitors do come from Rajasthan's Barmer. While train number 14322 Bhuj Bareilly Express is running on time, train from Rewari arrives so does Jodhpur Delhi Vande Bharat, and those who deboard relish having rice of the brand Dawat. I settle for Taka Tak Chatpata Masala probably coming from the House of Haldiram and veg patty, and these delicacies people have in plenty in West Bengal's Kalimpong while sitting next to different set of eateries.

New Year Having Set In

New Year Having Set In

With New Year having set in, it was time to step out of home in a season when more are likely to fiddle as well as revert with drone. Drone can get you the messages one desires in a nation where unknown people are not allowed to the dias despite they having no bias. Who these days with wholesale budget having innumerable mileage, and by no means aged are lucky enough to get an audience on the dias less is known as in the coming weeks they would be expected to get their skills honed. Teaching skills to teasing water, power bills all are to be upgraded in a nation where news channels on any incriminating updates are in the line of fire and abuzz with new set of hire. Leave Home On A Thursday at 9.53. Go past PAL Building, Prithvi Fine Art And Cultural Centre with notable mention be made of Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church located in Safdarjung Enclave with entire city wrapped in undiluted haze. Board auto at 10.03 with Mr Deepu Yadav from Bhardoi in Uttar Pradesh Province at the helm in a city where discourse and discoveries are on RAM (Random Access Memory). 

Thoughts On Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Station

Go past Maharaja Agrasen Road abutting INA followed by Aurobindo Marg at 10.07, and in full attendance those with fabric of Raymond. Go past Safdarjung Flyover, Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan with the city yet to get its share of calls from Durban. These calls could well be from new triumphs to host of families having wardrobe accessories. With thoughts on Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station (Hazrat Nizamuddin Shrine Is Nearby), and trains going to South India, and getting unfailingly delayed in a span of two days, and henceforth hitting the base. Here thoughts as well on West Bengal Province particularly Kalimpong and Darjeeling sector with some residents exchanging pleasantries with tutors who have less set of grievance. Tutors with crystal clear nuances can shape the career, and their payments be not be subjected to crisscrossing arrears. As the auto which is autocorrect, and makes it to Tughlak Road, Krishna Menon Marg and Sunehri Bagh Road, no litany of complaints have come from Dudes Of Erode. Udyog Bhawan, Rail Bhawan and Rafi Marg accessed at 10.19 with Next To Parliament Street (NTPS) at 10.20, with notable submission be made of those who come to Imitiaz Khan Marg for 10 hour duty. Imitiaz Khan Marg and roundabout may at some point of time bring proceedings on table on who primarily in Chhattisgarh to North East Provinces are likely to be formidable rebels in the face of malfunctioning tubewell. At 10.21 the auto goes past Akashvani Bhawan with FREE CHURCH likely to have in due course of time visitors going by the name Truman. Go past Tolstoy Marg, go past Palika Kendra, Kwality Restaurant (All In Connaught Place In New Delhi) with no reportage from any corner on ragging post maggi intake tiffin.

Reaching Lord Hanuman Temple

Reach Lord Hanuman Temple at 10.25 with I joining the long winding queue at 10.26, and reaching sanctum sanctorum at 11.06, and coming out by 11.15 with the visit as effervescent as day to day ascent. Took time out to visit adjoining Lord Ganesh Temple as well, and hailed auto to reach Lord Ganesh Temple in Sarojini Nagar in nick of time on a day when there is negligible sunshine. This was an outing that carried in bulk reputable tales of convenience with the ride back and forth almost scintillating in the face of trimmed traffic and roads looking clean and less pathetic. This was an outing that clearly brought cheers to those who were not amidst drunken elements having primitive outlook, and going great with their cook. This was an outing that brought in dozen the necessity to have fruits and cake with no new content shared by rapper Drake.

The folly of invading Venezuela would be known in due course of time. This misadventure in this Latin American Nation has host of nations across world disapprove the rough and patchy conduct of US administration, and Washington looks as isolated as ever even not remotely looking like a tower. And here in India millions take this opportunity to share the pain and anguish of the invaded guys, and Venezuelans would have the last laugh, and that won't be a surprise.

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.
