World Is Praying For Iran. India Is Praying For Iran. We Are Praying For Iran

World Is Praying For Iran. India Is Praying For Iran. We Are Praying For Iran

As one waded into Middle Section Of Delhi, with a prayer or two on Iran, the assault it was subjected to was primarily from dusk to dawn. These raids and revelations showcased the unsettled terrain we are in with the world split apart with some familiar with the art to hack ATM pin. ATM pin some forget at the ripe time, they seek help of strangers who have been talk of the town on their sentence as regurgitating as dime. ATM pin won't be bothersome for residents of Iran as all these 50 days they stayed indoors, even shying to drop hints on nearby tea kiosks. Though guns would have fallen silent for the moment, with little known about The Administration In The West aiming to again rain blows on another nation even if in the chair some don't go by the name Bose. This Administration could do no good, hurling veiled threats to simple beings who had no access to food. This Administration can't get on with the job to administer discipline in its territory, this is off and on bent on a warring trajectory. One would be better off without a trade deal, if This Administration can't lend sessions in a Hall Of Heal. 

Multiple Rides In Delhi

Multiple rides again on multiple occasions were with an intent to access Lodi Road (Lodi Road Is In Heart Of Delhi) and beyond in a nation that hears time and again corporate seesaw songs. Corporate donations to those with particular set of affiliations reek arrogance, and these songs could well serve as the leitmotif for the political tryst they wish to have in a nation that is in search of dawn clue. These rides often made one wonder whether the road to New Delhi Railway Station (Paharganj) would remain dug up for the season the political parties are tied in a poll hub. Surroundings inside the Station reminiscent of African gestation where any idea consumes its own sweet time to flourish, much flanked by hiccups and agenda churlish. The arrival to Platform One was nonetheless poles apart, squeaky clean, and hoping to usher in sizeable innings. If the return ride from Super Bazar Bus Stand (Connaught Place) was caught in a whirlpool of wait essentially among those with steady traits, the less than visible steady flow of traffic illustrated on Delhi Roads the much-berated traffic crate. Million cars with one occupant was nonetheless zillion sighting, confrontation on Delhi Roads not in hiding. 

Commoner Getting Waylaid As Exponential Premium Is Being Sought Despite No GST Clause

As one dives into world of uncertainty, with premium to be seized by insurance firms in a city that is under siege not in brevity despite GST (Goods and Services Tax) getting waylaid, these insurance firms' diktat to almost double the premium from the previous time primarily shows the commoner can't trace his/her shine. Commoner is at a loss for words when s/he tries to read the finer details of total premium that would make the entire lot forego in diet the much-prized onion. Where is one getting benefits when GST has been done away with, and in circulation is the picture of commoner getting waylaid when s/he has least desire to engage in intra trade.

One hopes The Administration In The West would turn courteous, Iran and other nations can be friends, hoping to enjoy sessions of being loquacious.

World Is Praying For Iran. India Is Praying For Iran. We Are Praying For Iran

World Is Praying For Iran. India Is Praying For Iran. We Are Praying For Iran

As there were multiple rides to multiple locations in Middle Section Of  Delhi, thoughts were on Iran with multiple prayers coming from multiple theatres echoing the need to be vigilant irrespective of who was seeking World Rent. Histrionics of A Leader In The West has set the stage for Oil To LPG to crawl, much evident in a world mired in uncertain hall.

Multiple Foray To Middle Section Of Delhi

As I made multiple foray to Middle Section Of Delhi criss-crossing on innumerable occasions Connaught Place (Connaught Place Is In Heart Of Delhi) which by no means is in any race, the ride began with I taking separate set of buses from Delhi Safdarjung Airport adjacent to Safdarjung Flyover with no necessity to maintain contact with Distant Denver, the very spot from where there are firm indications that World Gasoline is set to get dearer. Bus rides from Safdarjung Airport, triggering the much-fascinated thought that at some point of time down the centuries it can serve as a sea port, and this observation coincided with a traffic regime flow that was hostile as it was in a mad rush to get to the respective destination having foregone the much-prized vacation. Vacation they could have availed of as fuel surcharge to LPG shortage which fewer can dodge has opened trials and tribulations carpet for domestic consumers who are literally praying they need not be dismissed as doofus. From milk to maid, the demand they come up with is huge, serpentine queue none willing to get in to get LPG Refill Clue. The grace period for transition from LPG to PNG should be 9000 days and beyond as year after year there would be power to water war akin kingkong. Traversing Tughlak Road, Krishna Menon Marg and Sunehri Bagh Road, on occasions I deboarded at Rafi Marg In New Delhi to walk all the way to New Delhi Railway Station Gate Number 1 (Paharganj) and here finding it all dug up was no fun. With no curiosity to know one had to scan QR Code to gain access to Rs 10 Platform ticket, and this looked to be churlish, one better keep men in counter who are by no means on an agenda loutish. Finding the gate to Platform One reminded one that Jaisalmer Station In Rajasthan Province was much better maintained and fun. 

Reminders On Kwality Restaurant To Regal, Rivoli That Perhaps Stage No Film Tournaments

On occasions I took the bus from Delhi Safdarjung Airport to Connaught Place, deboarding at Palika Kendra with enough reminders that Kwality Restaurant (Established in 1940) raring to touch 2140, Regal And Rivoli Cinema Theatres perhaps shut, with whole dose of belief that this war in West Asia is glut. These outings essayed the impression that traffic war in Delhi The City is by no means going to get dry, howsoever high may come the elevated roads, the traffic nightmare would make most seize other vehicles and ply. NEW Delhi is on the cusp of witnessing a challenge, and from the very beginning it should have taken a stand that an assault on Tehran from February 28 onwards was unwarranted, and those siding with the The West would find themselves haunted.

Coming To India, let the picture of dissent make a beginning here as those trying to figure out freedom of speech have to make umpteen rounds of courts as India can't be a police state where the art to speak the truth should not be dismissed as rude.

How Former Home Secretary And Former Police Commissioner Weaved Tales Of Torture When They Were Holding Office

How Former Home Secretary And Former Police Commissioner Weaved Tales Of Torture When They Were Holding Office
Some would beg to disagree but here I am going to state facts and facts alone. Rewind to 2022 I seek association with those persons who can repair my laptop. I ask long-time associate Mr Aneroodh to do the same. He expresses his inability as he is in his village. From unknown quarters I receive a solitary call from Sachdeva Enterprise. He says he is staying in Krishna Nagar/Arjun Nagar, and his cousin has one functioning store in Munirka. I am in dilemma of sorts as I don't want to seek his services. Again he approaches me saying he would do the needful. Left with no other option I have to settle for this gentleman from Sachdeva Enterprise. Having returned the laptop after repair he settles for a remuneration that is hefty. All these months I chased Mr Aneroodh in vain. So off and on I have got the laptop repaired from Sachdeva Enterprise with the panel broken and keyboard dismantled much in evidence after the laptop has been returned. In these over 30 months this gentleman has replaced feature phone on more than three different occasions as none of the phone replaced has been traced to be in a functional mode. The beep does not come, the OTP on most occasions bunk.

On Way To Thrissur From Tirumala, Coming Across Pain In Guruvayur In Middle Of Night

And with Mr Aneroodh not willing to dispense services for reasons I can't gauge I have had to settle for this gentleman who has engineered defections and retribution. I even argued on different occasions that panel and hinge and the cracks to the same effect surfaced only after the laptop was returned from his store. Even the keyboard replaced developed disruptions no sooner than later. Now rewind to September 2023. I am on way to Thrissur In Kerala Province. And having been witness to acrimonious exchanges and decisive abuse, I henceforth make a call to Delhi stating the functioning Home Secretary and Police Commissioner are unlawful elements precisely for torturing me for no fault of mine. I state this and while away time waiting for A Train To Guruvayur from Thrissur. When I deboard from the train in Guruvayur and having come out of station at roughly 10 PM there are over 10 autos (Autos are three wheelers primarily conceived as public transport in India) waiting to transport passengers. I approach the first auto and he says not free. The entire auto lot expresses inability to let me take a ride to East Nada in Guruvayur citing they are not free. And that too at a time when none of the passengers came to board them, and they are sitting idle. Under Guruvayur Sky I drag my bag for the next two-and-a-half hour with lodge after lodge primarily dismissing my request by stating no rooms. When in reality there is no rush inside lodges, and they are taking command from these two guys on whom I made observations in Thrissur Station. Satisfying their ego is hard act to perform, and when I finally gained a lodge somewhere in proximity to South Nada, and that too well past 12.40 AM, it was in a dilapidated state and I had to settle for a huge cash outgo. Not even 12 hours had passed the lodgeman asked me to furnish new cash quota for another day. I had to heed to his command, and later set in search for another lodge. The time I spent in Guruvayur was five days, each moment reminding how these two guys in Delhi would issue express orders to make my stay unbearable. I having returned from Tirumala stated facts on them, and these two guys left no stone unturned to give me pain in 2022, 2023, 2024 as well in January 2025. Had they not been in the fray the longevity of Guruvayur stay and latitude of laptop repair would have been with ease.

Taking Thiruvanthapuram Rajdhani; Raining Blows In Ahmednagar As Well

While returning to Delhi from Guruvayur by taking Thiruvanthapuram Rajdhani they were equally blessed by powers that be to rain more blows on me. No sooner the train completed overnight journey in came two guys taking a seat next to mine passing verbal abuse which for them looked adorable in North India. I begged to the two guys at different point of time in train to not indulge in this misconduct, and the request fell on deaf ears. With no relief coming I had to change seat in the passing train on two different occasions. Now rewind to January 2025. I am visiting medical centre after paying a visit to Ahmednagar in Maharashtra Province in December 2024. In Ahmednagar the day I am supposed to leave for Hyderabad at 5 in the morning I visit bathroom. Minutes later all hell break loose, and there is volley of Verbal Mother abuse coming from outside at this odd hour, and that too precisely for 16 times. One can understand verbal abuse once in a while, but coming for straight 16 occasions is difficult to fathom thereby curtailing freedom. I am shocked and leave the place dejected with this thrill session engineered by these two guys in Delhi. 


Coming to Delhi I visit medical centre and post session involving over and above Rs 22K outgo and as Dr Chopra prepares prescription I tell him I can't make out the finer details. He shouts and says everything has been put in black and white and where is the need for any more clarity. I request and he takes offence. I return with no element of clarity. In the morning this gentleman was polite and post session all arrogance comes in renewed gear riding on a cue he takes from these two guys in Delhi.

Rewind To 2023

Rewind to 2023. I am on a visit to Nizamuddin Railway Station. As I seek to exit I can see one guy with turban passing expletives and wildly throwing his hands and feet in the air as I try to escape his wrath for reasons that better remain anonymous. I narrate this episode in my colony and next day I visit Delhi Cantt Metro Station. As I come out of station I can see one beggar sitting on a tricycle. As I inch closer he looks at me and passes verbal mother abuse on and on. I accept the same, having understood that not only guys sporting turban would get the deed done, unflinching loyalty would be shown by beggars as well in the famed hall of verbal abuse. Rewind to previous week. Again Mr Aneroodh is not taking my calls. And I have to settle for Sachdeva Enterprise for getting the laptop repaired which came broken from this store. And this time he has erased internet connection for reasons best known to him. These two guys, who have given me torture, have demitted office, and the pain and suffering they subjected me have been unbearable, particularly in the holy land of Ahmednagar. That too from a land from where people return blessed. I was by no means taking a stand against any specific community but if I was in the crosshairs of men from this lot the enormity to get myself going against billion verbal abuse was a tall order.

Notings On Jaisalmer With A Hint Or Two On The Discovery Of India

Notings On Jaisalmer With A Hint Or Two On The Discovery Of India

Having Arrived In Jaisalmer it was chance interaction with Mr Sajjan Ali who looked back to the innings of '40s and '50s when this place was home to camels, elephants and horses. Camels in particular could be spotted with ease as this place was shadowed by sand dunes and more sand dunes. Sand dunes that let the child of the house chase the same with aplomb, and for the elderly no necessity to establish contact with distant Kalimpong. Prior to this India had yet to gain independence, something vividly captured in The Discovery Of India penned by First Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru was sent to prison nine times between 1921 and 1945, the most formidable being between August 1942 to June 1945 at Ahmednagar Fort, and here he deemed fit to write The Discovery Of India. The book has gained rave reviews over a period of time, and still acquires mileage of attraction as it is an indepth study into India's Freedom Struggle as well as sanguine disposition of a British State rebel. The might of British State Nehru found occasions to raise banner of revolt, and incarceration on nine different occasions something to this date leaders cutting across party lines quote. Coming to Jaisalmer there are negligible listings on how it did not give in to the might of British State, and trek inside Jaisalmer Fort delineates the state of its existence with no shadowy halls of encumbrance. In the '70s petrol/diesel tankers would take over four days to complete the ride from Jaipur to Jaisalmer perhaps with signals emerging from as distant as Ajmer.

Inside Jaisalmer Fort

Notably, there are three Cannon Points amidst 400-odd homes. Every street  has a prized catch of roughly 70 homes. Though the tourist peak season is from October to February, of late domestic tourists have given more opportunities to store owners to have a big margin given the scale of purchase with a renewed pace. While taking a stroll, thoughts unveil that perhaps a day would come when foreign nationals would express a desire to be a guide by all means interim as visas rarely pledge 365-day proceedings, and with summer months with this region with little rains, there won"t be much to gain. The Fort having come up during King Jaisal"s reign in 1156 there are hideouts to trace Seven water wells, all closed with no bells. Water is an issue here as supply comes for half an hour in the morning even leading to days when it does not come. Water tanker can't make inroads as the path to the Fort is too steep. For the benefit of those residing here, registry of houses and hamlets have not been allowed to date as apprehensions are properties would go to outsiders, and locals would be besieged with taking their orders.

Spot Cannon Point With Bird's Eye View Of The City. From This Cannon Point One Can See

- Present Maharaja' s House

- Sunset Point

- Three Mansions Of The City (Nathmal,     Patwa And Salmi Singh)

- Last Railway Station

- Wind Mills. No Grand Addition To          What I Saw In July 2014

- The View Of The Golden City During      Golden Hours

Inside Fort there is as well Maharaja Mahal. Jaisalmer Fort Palace Museum And Heritage Centre.

Meeting Someone From Kyoto

As I visited the Fort on three different occasions, there was another chance meeting with Mr Kakz from Kyoto in Japan. Threadbare discussions on Kyoto Protocol which he could recall. Mr Kakz had testing times when he landed in Delhi. His hotel booking cancelled at a time when he was about to move in, and the travel agent who initiated new booking was by no means reliable thereby making his stay in the city not look durable. What he could read about Delhi was with high population density it brings out on occasions the agressive conduct of people, and one never knows which quarter can throw in the air trouble. Restive was what the region he came across, and solace he gained after visiting Buddhist Circuit in and around Bodhgaya firmly sending reminders on his base. As for other set of tourists, the stay in the national capital in the crosshairs of a traffic regime that was by no means innocent, and here petrol rationing would have to pitch the tent.

Having Arrived In Jaisalmer

Having Arrived In Jaisalmer

Having Arrived In Jaisalmer at a time when tourists were making a beeline to enter the fort city, more inclined to believe their stay would be no less than a behemoth innings where some are yet to get going with weather findings. Painstaking reality is that from April To June when most parts of India are in the grip of heat wave, tourists keeping a date with Jaisalmer won't be abundant as temperatures rocketing to 50 degrees celsius and above, and herein lies the rub. And primarily for that reason I set on this February month with the bus ride from Jodhpur with no notable sessions of pause and none posing to be a boss. 

Taking A Room In Hotel Renuka Reminiscent Of Tirupati Stay

As I stepped out of bus stand and completed the commute to take a room in Camel Country (Mr Pathan, Mr Raju Bhai At The Desk) followed by a more meaningful stay in Hotel Renuka, the thunder and twist of residing in this Desert Rajasthan State was no less than a bliss. Chainpura Street in particular offers varied accomodation points with tourists least to be misguided in a city that has over the years won laurels and singularly law abided. Hotel Renuka in Chainpura Street brought on table a spacious room with attached bath clean to the last mile reminiscent of a room in SUPRABATH TOWERS in Tirupati  (Andhra Pradesh Province In South India) Opposite TTD SRINIVASAM with Mr Jay Chandra Reddy at the helm, and that too in July 2023 when India least faced tariff churn. That visit intended to touch base of Tirumala where Lord Venkateswara resides had its share of ups and downs. There were no personnel to guide that token had to be  gained from Bhudevi Complex, something that led me to cover 3550 steps from Alipiri Gate To Tirumala minus token, and enormity of undercurrents could well be visualised once I joined the general queue which most rue. Perhaps TTD should come out with notifications from time to time on changes ushered in for devotees to keep a date with Lord Venkateswara Temple irrespective of those reporting to brand Apple. Coming back to Jaisalmer Mr Yash Purohit of Hotel Renuka was the one who allotted me the room given the previous day discussion on my pressing need to shift to a new hamlet in a city that during night is blessed to see Jaisalmer Fort well lit. Staff members going by the names Mr Roshan, Mr Ayub and Mr Surendar Singh (Prized Cook Hailing From Pauri Garhwal In Uttarakhand State In North India) made the stay equally memorable and durable. Not to miss out on the meals he prepared on the day I was supposed to leave for Ajmer (Ajmer Dargah), and for the latter I having the brief to the fore.

Stay Spread Over Six Days

The stay in Jaisalmer spread over six days, improvised and uninterrupted from the previous four-day stay in July 2014, and this ignited interactions with different set of guys making no noise. Coming across Mr Talpat Singh who has three corners inside Fort (Free Tibet Restaurant, Panorama Restaurant; Run By Mr Vikram Singh, Refreshing Point Juice Corner), with a will to connect with all those who are in distant port. Mr Singh threw in the towel well before others could barely arrange their schedule, and this reaped dividends and that set in broad range of confidence. Meet Mr Rajendra Purohit, who is Post Office Agent, and here I initiate discussions on Fixed Deposits made by those who have on minimal outing faced any blues irrespective of economy losing at random clues. Meet as well Automan Mr Giriraj Purohit who whiled away the time next to Fort bringing on board his passion to run auto for the past 23 years, and this being his fifth auto by no means looking fierce. He broached the issue of women inside Fort who did not report to high schools even for a day and well conversant in French and German given the scale of interactions with tourists far and wide, visiting this paradise in ton. His two sisters truly settled inside Fort, two sisters outside Fort.

Taking Black Tea

While taking a voyage to Chandan Shree Restaurant one would invariably come across Nachana Haveli Building which I was told is 300 years old and Nachana Haveli hotel including SAFFRON Restaurant (30 years old). Not to forget TRIO The Restaurant and black tea served by Mr Narain Singh, that lend spring to the steps, and thereby one could text. Text on how amazing is this city, and some keeping memories in DVD. The 2014 commute to Jaisalmer was accomplished in a train ride from Jaipur (Jaipur Is Capital Of Rajasthan Province In West India) and guys from Shahi Palace Hotel in Shiv Road came to receive and transport me to Oasis Haveli. This time as well I visited Shahi Palace on few occasions to do a story as well as partake meals that were exceptionally soft on stomach. A word of praise for Mr Devilal and Mr Akshay.
