Accessing SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE In New Delhi

Accessing SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE In New Delhi

Having thought about visiting SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI Temple for a month or so, I decided to access the same on a Monday with Delhi Residents impartially young and not getting grey. The visit would have brought me in close contact with people hailing from South India as this is primarily a temple with South India roots and there may not be in this region noteworthy movement of boots. So I set out on a Monday and left Home at 9.30 AM going past Safdarjung Enclave Gate Number One and sighting pot holed roads with no pomegranate powers was no fun. Go past Comfort Point, Embassy Of The Republic Of Mali and directions to Chanakyapuri and JNU (JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY) having a neat tally. 

Reaching Africa Avenue

Reach Africa Avenue at 9.43 and I prime witness to bumper to bumper traffic and hope the speeding guns don't turn maverick. Reach Church Road at 9.43 and in quick succession came service road of Africa Avenue where thoughts are on JNU. Go past Central Govt Employee Residence which is home to babies, women and gents. By the time I access Sri Venkateswara  Mandir Marg it is 10 and in this very region at one point of time thundered Maruti Zen. Maruti Zen may have become history but Ambassador Cars on Kolkata Roads run on a sizeable territory. Almost the entire bulk of Ambassador cars run as taxis in Kolkata a city whose solid traits are recognised by Latin American nations with no degree of hesitation. There is receding pedestrian path to Munirka Desk/ Ber Sarai and by the time I enter SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE it is 10.15 and this sacred spot paid a visit by likes of teen. Sri Vaikuntanathji is at his prime best and my prayer session interspersed with bringing down of curtains and later lifting the same and we are in that part of India where robust attempts to rekindle ties with neighbouring nations should be more and not bare minimum with closed door. As Priests are from South India I wonder how they cope with biting cold of Delhi with temperatures plummeting to single digit and most missing their ferry.

Leaving Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple And Heading To SBI In Bhikaji Cama Place

By the time I come out of Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple it is 10.45 and reach Bhikaji Cama Place at 11.05. Directions to State Bank Of India (State Bank Of India Is Prime Public Sector Bank In India) are not hard to fathom and SBI carries high value transaction at random. Cash Officer probably going by the name Mr Vijay Kumar is kind enough to sort out my queries and he is as affable to those who have zodiac sign Aries.

Monday was the day when the walk to Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple consumed all of 45 minutes and would the GST Gen Next rate cut pass on to consumers can only be known in October and not in jest.

The Convoy That Would Touch Different Territories

As the convoy would be traversing Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu States are one to believe authentic milk supply would be from Chennai Gate? Pomegranate may be in fashion in South where people least know they have clout.

Thoughts On Addis Ababa And Accessing Middle Sections Of Delhi On A Monday Which Is Redeem Day For African GABA

Thoughts On Addis Ababa And Accessing Middle Sections Of Delhi On A Monday Which Is Redeem Day For African GABA

As our thoughts are on Addis Ababa and the inaugural spell of celebrations marking arrival of 2018 (behind western calendar by seven years) we hope those in attendance and taking all along would be punch goal of this Ethiopian City and most likely to invite officials of EV. Officials of EV and ED are not one and the same and here in Addis Ababa by God's Grace there is no ED Game. Apart from keeping a tab on developments in Addis Ababa the weeks gone by provided ripe opportunity to gain access to Middle Sections Of Delhi seeking a reprieve from a weather that spelt rains with no gains. Left Home On A Monday at 8.10 AM with series of buses going to Sarai Kale Khan the destination much visited by followers of Tennis Icon Ivan. Reach Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 8.17 and board 578 at 8.20 knowing fully well in this city no one can get haughty. There are directions to INA Market, Connaught Place, India Gate having understood there is campaign of affection in Ireland and here one need not wait. Deboard at INA KIDWAI NAGAR and there is mad scramble to get into bus number 460 and I desist from taking this set of transport and board 433 at 8.38 when India The Nation seeks to repair ties with giants in territory Asian. 

Go Past Safdarjung Flyover, Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan

Go past Safdarjung Flyover, Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandi Bhawan and movement of traffic on road seems to be even. Go past Tughlaq Road, Tughlaq Crescent, Akbar Road with noting made that closure of Krishna Menon Marg may not stay for long irrespective of who are skipping bathing in pond. Ponds are part and parcel of most households in West Bengal State the very province that is A Grade. With Moti Lal Nehru Road accessed at 8.45 and here barrage of commuters deboard chances are some may be denied vote hope. Go past Udyog Bhawan, Railway Bhawan Metro Station, Krishi Bhawan, Jantar Mantar Road, Ashoka Road and gaining access to Parliament Street (Sansad Marg) at 8.55 with no reports on who has debating skills and is Parliament High. Rumours about security about this place may kick in and here remedial measures should come in. 

Deboard At Palika Kendra With Dollar Stored By Sandra

Deboard at Palika Kendra at 8.56 with notable absentee members of grouping BRICS. Walk past Kwality Restaurant with memories strong about visits to this acclaimed cafe in the past. Precisely that time when One Dollar stored by the likes of Sandra was tight enough to get at the most Rs 20 and Indian Currency not on a slide and not fed on a reverse trade diet. Go past REGAL, RIVOLI Cinema Theatres and hope they have functional paratroopers. Get inside Lord Hanuman Temple at 9.05 and come out soon with Delhi locals speaking inside temple maintaining high decibel intensity as if it was yawning June. Meet Mr Ram after 6-7 years and finding him fit brings cheers. Few minutes later get inside another temple and another going by the name GANESHJI Temple and come out at 9.32 when India has vast fields to raise coffee brew. Board 433 at 9.40 and go past Parliament Street, Akashvani, Rafi Marg, Udyog Bhawan, Moti Lal Nehru Road. Go past Tughlaq Road, Sri Aurobindo Marg and reach INA at 9.58 with bumper to bumper traffic seen through the prism of those who have the habit of reaching office carrying mineral water crate. Deboard here with expletives released by those who are Mithila Pawn and board 569 with no thoughts on buses with no bruises that carry in bulk clown. Expletives are much gaining traction in Hindi Heartland and nothing of that verbal misnomer of sorts to be seen in Japan. Deboard at Raj Nagar and reach home at 10.55 with Delhi residents slowly getting aware of pains of reckless drive. Pen drive may store the import of reckless driving engaged in the city of Delhi with some getting verbal blast hourly.

As this outing to Middle Sections  Of Delhi was accomplished on a Monday the following weeks were witness to churn in world order and we pray no one violates sovereignty of sheet of nations and they are able to safeguard their border.

As Delhi Continues To Get Lashed By Rains

As Delhi Continues To Get Lashed By Rains

As Delhi continues to get lashed by rains and thunderstorms, thoughts are on Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple in Vedanta Deshika Mandir Marg, New Delhi which I hope to visit again as the region has enough anecdotes to share and claim. The temple had a makeover in the recent past perhaps bringing cheers to those who visit the same accompanied by West Bengal resident going by the name Bose. The temple has on occasions as far back as 2000 hosted events with all alertness shown by Ladies and Gents. And here down the decades similar exercise of exuberance would be in France's Soissons which would take no-nonsense. In France's Soissons or those in India's horizon events that bring in plenty certitude would be welcome and this is by no means entering hall of platitude. 

In The Weeks Gone By

In the weeks gone by I have been to Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin on two different occasions to get the word out that though Delhi would be experiencing steep humid conditions time is ripe to explore the city which is a giant in theatre Asian. Here explorers from Asia come in good numbers, in recent days prominently from Indonesia and China and exchanging pleasantries with Donna. As these two rides to Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin were accomplished in different set of buses with acoustic group having three guesses. First the direct connectivity from Nauroji Nagar in the heart of Delhi was less and less, second the ride from INA KIDWAI NAGAR to Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium on occasions best, third the walk past Archbishop Makarios Marg entwined with arrival of large number of guests. As I hopped on to another bus caravan from Ispat Bhawan some could furnish noteworthy reaction on public sector banks propensity to serve as locker room for EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines). EVMs had been fiddled with, vote theft having aftereffect and clarion call for a settlement where poll watchdog was less and less to be seen as unreliable tenant. This institution meant to monitor election process in the  country should come clean was the urgent command and here alarming bells could be heard in as distant place as Pyongyang.

Taking Refuge In Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin 

Having taken refuge in Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Station in as many weeks as the occasional ride all I could do was bide time as the able accompaniments were on announcements on trains having divulged the notoriety and yet retaining shine. Trains that were coming from as distant territory as Mumbai and Rishikesh could be seen pulling in different platforms having traversed places that had lighting neon. Trains that had tales to tell and passengers who could yell and in the face of SIR (Special Intensive Revision)'s murkiness making much of Eastern India State residents undergo unforgettable session of grill. Grill they least deserved and they wished they were in an authentic poll hub. 

Stories On Thunderstorms

These two weeks gave enough stories on North India States hit by cloudbursts and thunderstorms and with flash floods yet to get on a pedestal of receding, India had monsoon fury revving. Monsoon had yet to disappear from locales that had faced nature's fury and these unseasonal rains had a determination to give day to day dictation. Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir were covered in thick sheet of floods and slush and no amount of human effort could change the enormity of hit that had visited these huts.

Visiting Bihar Niwas In New Delhi

Apart from these two rides the next week I had the opportunity to visit Bihar Niwas in Chanakyapuri and walk to the said place consumed over 40 minutes with I seeking Bhagalpur Katarni Chura which once released from Bihar The State retains strong tenets. 

Belated Happy Birthday To Mr M Night Shyamalan (August 6). Belated Happy Birthday To Mr Chiranjeevi ( August 22). Belated Happy Birthday To Mr Akkineni Nagarjuna ( August 29). My Best Wishes Would Always Be With Them And Their Family Members.

Wait At INA Kidwai Nagar, Reaching Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin And Quite Eager

Wait At INA Kidwai Nagar, Reaching Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin And Quite Eager

Having reached INA Kidwai Nagar all I had to do was wait and wait. With some making calls from their feature phone perhaps illustrating this instrument would stay for eon. Board bus number 776 at 8.51 AM and go past Safdarjung Flyover, Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan (All Important Places In New Delhi) with I maintaining AICC (All India Congress Committee) Session in Tirupati in 1992 was something to chew on and giving slice of hope to those who wanted to shed career blues in the face of diktat from Pyongyang. This AICC session laid a roadmap that Congress Govt in power won't carry the vindictive tag and it would open doors to elements who were well versed with theory of Economist Keynes. The traffic on way to Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was moderate and by the time I accessed Lodi Road and Lodi Garden Ashoka Gate it was 9 and here people come in the morning to walk and dissect in some sections of India the campaign of hate and berate. There are directions to Hazrat Nizamuddin Station, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and Lodi Colony and perhaps settling for an outcome where innings of par excellence may be played by Annie.

None Would Look Invincible Even In The Face Of Malfunctioning EVM

I was in Four Avenue at 9.03 and here thoughts were on extensive reportage by some newspapers and how they had upped the ante on lust for power by some and sooner than later they won't remain invincible even in the face of malfunctioning EVM (Electronic Voting Machine). Get down at Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium at 9.09 and walk past Archbishop Makarios Marg looks to be fine. Reach Ispat Bhawan at 9.15 and Public Sector Banks that came on the way were Bank Of India, Canara Bank and their balance sheet may be in due course of time on a pedestal of first rank. Here thinking about Hampi, Anjanadri Betta Anjanadri Hills Hanumanhalli in the State of Karnataka and how some would make voyage to Antarctica. Though no underpasses came during my ride to Ispat Bhawan, the very presence of them in New Delhi and due credit goes to previous AAP Govt which was wonderful and giving balanced opportunities to people of different faith was the rule. Here on the road next to Ispat Bhawan bus stand vehicles pass at breakneck speed even when Delhi Residents are facing humid heat. By the time I board bus number 166 it is well past 9.30 and here no need to furnish ID (Identity Card).  

Muslims In Good Numbers In Bus; Mumbai Rajdhani Pulls In Platform Number Three; Need To Reinforce PCOs Across India And Here Most Agree

And here in bus minorities namely Muslims are in good numbers and their sheer number of luggage suggesting they have come from varied Stations where some fancy their chances of giving elaborate coverage on developments in Asian Nations. Go past SABZ BURJ and reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Station Roundabout at 9.48 and Station at 9.55 and here in some sections of India stories come and stay on who are on a new high. As Mumbai Rajdhani pulls in Platform Three and with announcement made for Chennai Duronto too coming from a region where some have the art of understanding the flow of SIR CREEK. The frantic search for PCO (Landline Phone Connection) led me to Platform Two and the man at the counter suggested connection for landline phone was not true. With the board suggesting PCO the man countered by saying that was long time ago. There is an urgent need to reinforce PCOs across India as some may not be comfortable carrying mobile and making calls to Chindia. Time was ripe for Beijing and New Delhi to set their border differences aside and make ties look more voluble and bright. During UPA (United Progressive Alliance) time ties were steady and thereafter sank to a new low as border skirmishes got a new glow. Border dispute beast should not be allowed to take centrestage as ties should thunder and make most believe it is all set to enter a new age. 

Leaving Hazrat Nizamuddin Station, Reaching Nehru Nagar

Leave Hazrat Nizamuddin Station a little after 10 as PCOs have no innings and they end. As the bus stand as reiterated earlier has been pushed further away from Hazrat Nizamuddin Station and this leading to series of inconvenience to commuters and here innovative measures need to kick in and if not done it will drive people nuts. Take bus number 427 and as it goes past Ashram underpass the credit for breaking traffic logjam goes to previous govt of AAP which was by no means hogwash. Deboard at Nehru Nagar at 10.20 with thoughts on Bhagalpur Katarni Chura and it is relished by persons going by the name Zora. Thinking as well about Mr Ravish Kumar and Mr Abhisar Sharma and their extensive commentary-cum-reportage (Official You Tube) and having followers which the regime can't afford to dislodge. From Nehru Nagar board 567 going to Kamruddin Nagar at 10.27 and reach vicinity of Raj Nagar at 10.55 and with thoughts on ride from Hospet to Bengaluru accomplished in the month of May with telltale signs that tariff would be given a befitting response and that too by March-April beyond and necessarily by those who are Kalimpong bound.

Soaring Prices Of Walnuts And Not Doughnuts

As walnuts were procured from Garg Store (Yes India's Very Own Store) the price soared to Rs 425 and above and herein lies the rub. Why the prices of dry fruits shooting up and does it suggest runaway, reckless inflation has an improvement over the past and having a supreme blast? Runaway inflation is here to stay even if dry fruits are secured from Middle East a region where they come in a tray. Due to less refined and less liberating policies the runaway inflation in India is heard and spoken in territories housing Aussies. Aussies well understand the inflation in India and intrusion in home budget are one and same thing and powers that be have no wings.

Belated Happy Birthday To Mr Shekhar Gupta (August 26). Happy Birthday To Mr Gaurav Gogoi (September 4). My Best Wishes Would Always Be With Them And Their Family Members.
