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

The Ride To Kashmere Gate In Delhi

With the Kashmere Gate bound bus turning up after 8 AM, I boarded the same hoping to reach destination in what was a smoggy weather in a city that has disdain to host tyrant who is on a tether. This city and that awakening suggest wintry days are hard to negotiate with AQI touching almost 500, and here the city swarming with weather bandits. Weather bandits could well be the one who give thumbs down to traffic rules, and engineers a road call where speeding well past 120 kms an hour gets him or her to meet his associate in a cinema hall which is a readymade platform to stage a brawl. Weather bandits could well be the urgency shown by some to book rail tickets on fake ID, and having the temerity to carry IED. Weather bandits could well be those who play loud music in the middle of night with a bid to alert denizens it is their birth right. These set of people could well be tyrants in the making as this city has least regard for those who are in solitude, and yet keep home engine revving.  

What Goes Through Their Mind

Tyrant in any part of world mind you, their days are numbered, and
some of them seek services of plumber. Tyrant goes after one community and another with an attempt to stay in the chair, and their fortunes nosedive if they don't flag federal fear. What runs through their mind is quite easy to dissect as they have long association with engineers and architects who are primarily responsible for raising fledgling flyovers here and there. These flyovers may bring attentive public to raise concern on recent recruits in some institutions even if plans are afoot to bring aviation headquarters in as distant place as Houston. These flyovers and their shelf life one can't make out as some of them may have been made by concrete that is in doubt. 

The Bus Goes Past Kalyan Jewellers And Joyalukkas Stores 

Coming to my ride the bus went past Kalyan Jewellers and Joyalukkas stores, some of the famous names in South India inviting less critics as their jewellery are worn by members of BRICS. As the bus went past CROMA TATA ENTERPRISE, some believed the aviation section should not record growth that is thrice. As the pitfalls of liberalisation, and the suggestive monopoly seeing no erosion, candid confession has been made that from railways to aviation the team leaders need crash course soon after vacation. As the bus went past Shiv Mandir, Vinobapuri and PGDAV College, the sighting of Nehru Nagar was the one where on a regular scale one has porridge. 

Some Would Like To Make Payment Through DD, And Bus Going Through IP Depot Where Some Submit Their CV

As the bus went past Ashram underpass, sighting of Canara Bank was an easy task. The bus goes past Delhi TRANSCO Limited, Maharani Bagh and Kilokari Village at 8.28 with no hint the weather in the coming hours would be great. As the bus goes past Gurdwara Bala Sahib followed by Sarai Kale Khan ISBT where there is a small bus for passengers who wish to travel to Noida and Pari Chowk, and here some would like to make payment through DD (DEMAND DRAFT). The traffic at this hour is wean, and with thoughts on Okha, Dwarka and Somnath in Gujarat Province which has a different narrative on who was the previous prince. Indraprastha Park, Shanti Stupa and Nizamuddin Road Bridge accessed, it was time to spare thoughts on those who had series of flings and are stressed. Here there are directions to Bhairon Mandir, Rajghat and ITO, and at 8.40 we are in IP Depot (DTC HEADQUARTERS) with some going by the name Dhrubo.

Reaching Kashmere Gate

The vehicle goes past WHO building, Bharat Scouts and Guides, and Indira Gandhi Stadium, with Dilli Chalo Park accessed at 8.46 where at some point of time some had the audacity to store malfunctioning EVM. Reach Kashmere Gate at 8.52, and here partly due to sinister designs of seniors some are tasked to fight away their career blues. This was a ride which conveyed in principle that Delhi Quarters far and wide can be reached even if weather has breached with no word yet on aviation glitch. This was a ride that consumed all of 47 minutes, and set in motion that Delhi The Fort keeps changing from time to time Kings who blip in the face of public crib. This was a ride that underscored the need that the will to preserve federal consistency is in the hands of public, and they are ever ready to rein in those who have gained lessons from Tikrit from where came infamous leader who had clandestine designs, and in the closing hours lost his ladder. This was a ride conveying that India is passing through testing times, and here one would like to read script of '50s and '80s leaders who were giants.

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.

As One Went Past Embassy Of The Holy See Vatican

As One Went Past Embassy Of The Holy See Vatican

As we are on a mission to save water and power which are set to get dearer in the coming months, all thoughts were on how to access New Delhi Kali Bari in Mandir Marg which is aligned with the belief that all religion are same, simple undercurrents in either are not on wane. As I left home on a Wednesday going past Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church and A 1 Safdarjung Enclave Wing Market, the shoddy preparedness to get the roster system in order had brought inconvenience to over 10 million passenger families and their dear ones, looking as if this is to stay for eon. And this primarily conveyed the govt of the day can be brought to knees with ease. Who is going to compensate the passengers for the misery that visited them, and this state of affairs showcases the ring of uncertainty that the aviation sector here in India is saddled with, and not coming in brevity.

Hailing Auto To Reach Central Delhi

To reach Mandir Marg abutting Middle Section Of Delhi, I hailed an auto from ring road with notable absentee being  those who were supposed to come from Tamil Nadu's Erode. Automan Mr Javed Khan looked to be a gentleman, and as auto went past Shree Vinayaka Mandir Marg, Sarojini Nagar Railway Station, Vinay Marg, thoughts were on how to  reach temple in nick of time even if day was bereft of perfect sunshine. Going past Niti Marg and Embassy Of The Holy See Vatican, thoughts turned to Europe which even in the face of inclement weather never short of hope. One wishing to visit this particular area be mindful of their documents including passport as weather can turn nasty rote by rote. As auto went past Embassy Of The Kingdom Of Bahrain, quotes began to emerge of leaders who presided over sizeable territory, and wished to be noble, and to their audience visible. Bahrain can be an active player in getting the Middle East touch the fabric of peace and prosperity, and here conversation with public is a day to day affair, and has long list of anecdotes to relay and share. As auto went past Kautilya Marg, Palika Kutumb, Sardar Patel Marg,  some turned their gaze towards law and order in North East States in India, and some of which share border with nations that are bent to raise a new corridor. As there are directions to Teen Murti, Connaught Place and Talkatora Stadium, the auto turns left to be in perfect alignment with Mother Teresa Crescent, and reaching New Delhi Kali Bari which at one point of time was dotted with stories of peasants. Entry to temple at 11.55, and exit roundabout 12.30 PM. Inside temple thoughts on Kolkata City which has the wherewithal to make residents witty. As I board auto at 12.45, the demeanour of some to flirt with verbal abuse in temple courtyard showed this place as well not free from disturbances that hit the human force, and such conduct in sacred places can't make them go on a cruise.

The Return Ride

The auto goes past President's Estate, Mother Teresa Crescent with notable mention of directions to Teen Murti, India Gate and IGI (Indira Gandhi International) Airport. At 1 it goes past Sardar Patel Marg followed by Nyay Marg. Goes past Niti Marg, Nehru Park, and accessing Satya Marg at 1.05 with some hoping to engage in reverse drive. With Africa Avenue accessed at 1.07 followed by dreadful sighting of traffic on ring road, the traffic treason is apparent, and no need to get to know those who in inhospitable surroundings get in tent. This biting cold, and those spending sleepless nights in tent can be frightful and appaling with no relief coming from those who put on over a $ million ear ring.

The twist in the tale that Middle Section Of Delhi has been visited by those who go by the name Mr Gayle. The twist in the tale that there are fewer buses plying in this route, and autos invariably don't turn rude. All said and done West Asia with varied cultures occasionally lays out a red carpet for visitors, and on ground it has to take giant steps to give peace a chance to ensure unfailing prosperity calendar chants.

As Chennai Rajdhani Left Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin

As Chennai Rajdhani Left Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin

As Chennai Rajdhani left Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin on Wednesday, Nov 26 after 3.30 PM, little was known about trials and tribulations it would come across, and making way to South India destination from where would come the nation's new boss. With the first halt in Agra, it left this Uttar Pradesh city behind schedule by 15 minutes at 5.47, and Gwalior by 7.11 with little known about those who go by the name Mr Bevan. Having entered corridors of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh States, the train crew including driver and guard were enlisting praise. The train crew had not slept the previous night yet it was alert to proceedings somewhat watertight. Reasons that one could not divulge why they could not sleep in a nation where millions and millions sleep under open sky, and during day they are immersed in thoughts deep. One has to not travel too far from Delhi, in fact in Delhi itself one can be face to face with those hit hard by squalor conditions, and yet this city claims to be poles apart in lending breathtaking lessons in railways and aviation. Who is in dire need of such lessons when two square meal most cannot gain even after endless wait and oodles of patience. The messiness and grubbiness that millions are locked in demonstrates this nation has million miles to go before having timely set in for majority trouble free emancipated flow.

The Convoy Leaving From Jhansi And Balharshah

From Jhansi the departure time for this convoy 8.20 and from Bhopal 12.04 AM, behind schedule in both places where temperature dipped to a new low and some had to bow. From Nagpur the leaving time 5.37 (behind schedule 27 minutes), and Balharshah 8.21 (behind schedule 19 minutes), and some hoped the bone chilling cold which opens doors to bone of contention should not visit these territories in Maharashtra State irrespective of who has acquired B.Ed, and still carrying cola crate. Having reached Warangal in Telangana State, the convoy from here moved on at 11.47 (behind schedule 32 minutes), and from here the path to Chennai was expected to be littered with litany of woes as saturated tracks would have made the onward journey taxing, and not having immaculate track tuning. Surprise of surprises the convoy made way with ease, and locking a gratitude of 51 minutes as it reached Chennai Central at 8.09 PM against schedule time of 9 PM when visits do take place of railway officers in the capacity of GM. Sessions of disquiet that one was hoping in the face of elusive sleep for train crew did not turn out to be bothersome, and the convoy was well on course to invoke history as it traversed more than five provinces territories.

Having Left Home On A Friday

Having Left Home On A Friday

Having left Home on a Friday, thoughts are as well on Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church located in Safdarjung Enclave, which has a full house on Sunday with adherents coming in good numbers and exchanging pleasantries which are notably diverse. Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church goads one to believe the society churning here and there is as well in other parts of world including Kiev. Kiev has been facing the invasion heat for over three years, talking about a rescue plan engineers large dose of fears. When Kiev residents would be untangled from invasion predicament no one knows in a world where there is large scale liberty among those not in the frontline during summers to apply deos.  Those applying deos and holding office of profit orbit need to introspect whether this assault and breach of faith was ever required with millions getting homeless with no guess. The intrusion and offensive conduct of over three years in Ukraine makes the enlightened lobby take out gadgets to search if there is light at the end of infiltration tunnel, and this ramshackle hit to the last drop should be ephemeral.

Thoughts On Varied Subjects

With I having gone past this church and A 1 Wing market, the sum total of Nauroji Nagar bus stand evolution was tens of thousands vehicles whizzed past with no intention to pause. As series of buses are going to Sarai Kale Khan, there is 398 to Maharani Bagh, 623 to Shahdara, 442 to Nehru Place, 724 EXTN to Nehru Place, 479 Badarpur Border, and here ready reminder with those in boots should not shrink to ransack troops. Board 623 at 12.26 only to realise I got in a wrong bus with I on foot some one km away from INA, and the weather looking rude. As I reach Kidwai Nagar at 12.48,  there are some from minority section having largely understood the haze equation. Board bus number 460 at 12.55, and as there are thoughts on Guruvayur and Chavakkad beach (Kerala State In South India), this crumbling AQI lends the hunch that staying indoors should be day to day punch. As the bus goes past Tughlak Road, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Road, thoughts are on Ajmer Shatabdi train emanating from Ajmer and the city holding from time to time elaborate fair. Whether frisking is order of the day no one knows but there are some visitors to the fair going by the name Bose. We are in Udyog Bhawan by 1.05, and for floating traffic rumours one won't be slapped with fine, Go past Chelmsford Club, Jantar Mantar Road, Ashoka Road, and as thoughts turn to Kanchipuram (Visited In 2011), the Next To Parliament Street (NTPS) is all visible with no need to ring the bell for quorum. Deboard at 1.12 at Palika Kendra, and in no time reach Lord Hanuman Temple followed by snacks at Bhogal chole bhature with Mr Sunil, Mr Amit and Mr Satish having no axe to grind and traffic warriors they finding fine. Take milk tea from Mr Sitaram outlet, and thus begins the wait for bus from 1.59 with thoughts on Lord Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai (Maharashtra State) which is giant. 

Series Of Buses Pushing Their Way Through Palika Kendra

Series of buses like 166 Palika Kendra, 185 Central Secretariat, 604 Sarai Firni, RL 79 Dwarka Sector 23 and 729 Kapashera Border goes past this bus stand and my bus appearance looking like can't cut the mustard rank. Board 729 B at 2.20, and as it goes past FREE CHURCH, Ashoka Road YWCA, Talkatora Road, Mother Teresa Crescent, Shankar Road, Buddha Jayanti Park Road, thoughts are on Kalimpong, Darjeeling and Kolkata with some having delivered milk to those who have come from Noida. Reach Dhaula Kuan at 2.45, and never in the history of OPEN INDIA the traffic has been so blistering that for  barely 100 metres ride it takes over 15  minutes drive. There is a stationary bus to Sikar (Rajasthan State In West India), and another one coming Narnaul in Haryana State and as Dausa bus  (Rajasthan State) arrives I board 711 at 3.12 with no pressing need to ring the bell. My bus goes past South Moti Bagh with some coming from Airport, and likely to stay for a week when some would run their thoughts on Sir Creek.  Deboard at 3.30 with no need for passengers to disembark from their Audi to furnish ID.

This outing gave a measured reading of traffic on Delhi roads with some visitors who came to NTPS were from Tamil Nadu's Erode. This outing gave first hand look of a ride from Shankar Road which is adjacent to New Delhi Kali Bari, and reposed faith in a city despite rotting AQI some making plans to visit airport that is IGI (Indira Gandhi International). This outing was a must on a Friday, the day when beverages are brought for Guests in Middle Section Of Delhi in a tray.
