Ride From Coimbatore To Kotagiri; Ride To Kodanadu View Poiint Keeping A Neat Tally

Ride From Coimbatore To Kotagiri; Ride To Kodanadu View Point Keeping A Neat Tally

As I try to make a post from Net City in Hobart Park Cross Road in Udhagamandalam (Tamil Nadu Province), the stay for the past five days have been fun coming ton by ton. It would be prudent to look back on the ride to Kotagiri from Coimbatore where people welcome visitors with welcome battery. As I took a room in Harri Priya Hotel in 95 Geetha Hall opposite Coimbatore railway station, I was still not sure how I would access Kotagiri and Udhagamandalam visting after eight years hoping to swing with more cheers. On a Saturday take bananas from Ranis Hotel hoping to meet those elements who keep count of digital transaction battle. Post bananas leave Harri Priya with Mr Kuppaswamy arranging an auto with some holding extempore brief on protocol Kyoto. The auto goes past Aroma Bakery, Kavitha Bakery, and here mopeds galore with enough sighting of eateries. Having reached Ooty bus stand there are spate of buses meant to fetch ride to Ooty, and I interested in Kotagiri bus with no stress. Taximan Mr Guruswamy seeks to know about Kotagiri ride, and I revert back stressing the bus ride would be comfortable sighting no double. In bus stand there is circuit bus ad touching places as varied as Central bus stand, Karnataka Garden, Boat House, Botanical Garden, Doddabetta Junction, benchmark tea museum and Rose Garden. 

Leaving From Udhagamandalam Bus Stand In Coimbatore

Leave Ooty (Udhagamandalam) bus stand at 10.30. The bus goes past Indian Overseas Bank, and from here Mettupalayam 31 kms, and this ride expected to give no jitters. Ad of villas, plots across Coimbatore featuring sportsperson Mr Mahendra Singh Dhoni sighted with ease, and enquiries to this effect expected to come from Greece. Hoarding of United College of Arts and Commerce, United Public School and United College of Physiotherapy coming before hoarding of Aksharam International School where discipline is the rule. At 11.10 Kotagiri is 45 kms with ad of Ultratech Cement which is in athletic tent. Christ The King Engineering College perhaps very much in the town with some willing to take the crown. Here I spot lone woman driving moped aware of traffic rules carrying essential tools.  At 11.26 reach Mettupalayam bus stand, leave few moments later with SSVM The Day And Residential School noting registered, and here there be no red alert. At 11.40 Kotagiri 32 kms, and from here noting of Animal Crossing Zone with an understanding one has to go carefully and abstain from poll rally.

We Are On State Highway 15 Hoping To Meet In Multiple Teen

Go past Forest College And Research Institute. As Nilgiri biosphere reserve welcomes one, the ascent begins at 11.50 on State Highway 15, and this stretch has capacity to carry unimaginable load of those who are teen. Here thoughts on Tirumala and Maharashtra with some standing by those who go by the name Cleopatra.  Nalli Hair Pin Bend at 12 PM followed by Kari Hair Pin Bend, Pari Hair Pin Bend. No soon we are amidst Tribal Products Sale Centre, and from here Kotagiri 16 kms with some trying to figure out ancient Greek City Datus.  At 12.17 Mamaram followed by Mulloor and Kottakombai where none would like rumours to fly.  At 12.52 reach Kotagiri where silence is by no means errie.  Take a room in Ramesh Vihar where one has trouble to get the door lock straight, hope in Trilan Cottages in future one won't have to wait. From nearby bus stand Coonoor 23, Dodabetta 23, Beragani 8 kms, and here occasionally one gets rebuked by tutors for not taking the lessons that are latest. 

Ride To Kodanadu View Point; Here AQI 20 And Keeping None In Bind

Board Kodanadu View Point bus at 5.33 (PM). Go past Donnington Road, go past Hillcrest not in jest. Go past Bathma tea, Bank Of India Elada branch with some having the weather hunch. Admission open to Lakshmi Narayanan Visalakshi College of Arts and Science In Chettipalayam, Coimbatore one comes across fully aware who is the boss. Here houses and hopes rest on laurels they have received over the years with no fears. Go past Kodanad Estate. Reach Kodanadu View Point at 6.30 with no desire to meet woman going by the name Ketty. Mind you, the earlier visit was in 2011 when most sported honesty turban. I put in a prayer I keep visiting Kodanadu View Point on and on even if some have to host visitors from West Bengal's Kalimpong. There is scenic pleasure on sighting Nilgiris Hills. Air is breathtaking clean, and would remain so for centuries together with none having airs ladder. River you spot is in Coimbatore which has its set of lore. For miles together one can get a clear view till Seven when India hopes to wecome guests largely German.  AQI here between 20 and 30 and temperature 18 Degress Celsius vis-a-vis Delhi where AQI peaks to 400 during winters and by no means sparing  summers. Summers with temperature 40 with some ever ready to usher in change in weather with slim chance of getting haughty. Meet guys from Setty Mech SME (Small And Medium Enterprises) In Mysuru, seeking to know the month I would be in the second cleanest city of India where probably I could acquire sustaining idea. Leave Kodanadu View Point at 7.25 with well maintained roads, well maintained tea gardens, and here KVP is heaven. 

Confessions On Board About The Need To Let Delhi Have The Lap Of Cheer 

As I took Chennai Rajdhani from Delhi, the deliberation were all about political undercurrents the country was faced with, and those earmarked to show their writ. On SIR (Special Intensive Revision) where million and million voters got deleted from voter list, most argued this was meant to please the ESTABLISHMENT which has pitched its tent. The ruling on SIR was flawed and here some argued courts had erred raising and leaving room for omissions to get to the stage of glut. How can voters numbering 10 million and beyond in just one State the poll panel can exclude them, and here the public is in for a long game. Sensing the ruling was erroneous, was New Delhi trying to replicate the trace that had been left by Nepal and Bangladesh heft which primarily aimed to clear the political debt?

ESTABLISHMENT Guys Making Notings Thrice

To curry flavour with those in political gallery who seem to denote they are in a Ship Of Vallery, the evolution of the past decade has been minus intuition chivalry. Some on board wished some in India's administration smacked less of arrogance, and try to fill in more layers of patience. From the huge bungalows of Delhi where the ESTABLISHMENT guys reside, it would be more apt to have a steady diet with multilayered flats believed to raise noteworthy track that is upright. You provide security entailing millions in outgo with net result those among masses they can't swear to have even one who could be their sincere bro. For Delhi to have the lap of cheer, noteworthy suggestions be made on measured traffic warchest, with those in the ESTABLISHMENT stepping out once a week, and those driving the vehicle having passed the drinking test. For Delhi to have the lap of cheer, let the inaugural session be the ESTABLISHMENT understand the pain the common man is going through, and this has been decade true. For a decade different institutions have lost the Flag of Liberty, and wishing to please those who have innings minus creativity. If you want to make amends, you better give rulings that are in dire opposite to what ESTABLISHMENT savour as all through the year you can't give the platform of flavour.

Ride From Chennai To Coimbatore The Previous Friday

Ride From Chennai To Coimbatore The Previous Friday

Having spotted board of CSI College Of Engineering Ketti, the task before me has been to post stories on South India voyage which having completed six days with grace. It would be prudent to look at Chennai stay, and the ride from there with no fear. Having reached Chennai On A Thursday, Mr Parthasarthy dropped me at Tourist Home in Egmore which declined my request to spare a room perhaps having visitors from Kashmir who could croon. Lakshmi Mohan Guest House came to my rescue with the host Mr John dropping the clue. The room allotted, and in this city for the duration of stay no one looking to be hot headed. The next morning I made a dash to Chennai Central Railway Reservation Centre with counter number 16 guy issuing a ticket to Coimbatore for train number 22207, and here they were in no two minds on accepting cash something visible in New Delhi, and a broadcast on same known to those having power belly. 

Visiting Sacred Heart Shrine, Visiting Egmore Cafe, Sangeetha Eatery And They In Their Prime

After collecting ticket I visited Sacred Heart Shrine abutting Kennet Lane amidst worship session bringing new equation. Visit to Egmore Cafe got me the yummy strawberry milk shake, and the veg sandwich was icing on the cake.The staff young and courteous and looking all blessed. Mind you, this outlet is opposite Hotel Ceylon with no desire to sight the clone. Visit to Mulberry store in Kennet Lane brought me in touch with Mr Madhuvahan from Madurai seeking to know places I have visited in his home town, the place that at one point of time holding the bets on who would take the crown. In Kennet Lane as well Saravana restaurant was up for renovation, and I settling for Sangeetha veg dining place in Shivalaya building with no need to see who were yielding. Freshly prepared meals soft on stomach unlike the September 2025 outing when meals had massive burst of spice, leaving one with the solitary option to open lines of communication with Australia's Dunach thrice. 

Peramur, Tirumullaryul, Tiruvallur Accessed, And Those Reporting To Train Desk

Automan Mr Prasad drops me at Chennai Central station and 22207 leaves at 4.06 leaving none with gigs. Basin bridge comes at 4.14 and few moments later a woman guard can be seen holding green flag, and by no means on exchequer a drag. Vyasarpadi Jiva at 4.16 with Everwin Group of Schools having inmates who are outstanding teen. Peramur 4.17 with train in full flow after 4.18.  Tirumullaryul comes at 4.26 , Annanur 4.26,  Avadi 4.29,  Hindu College 4.31, Pattabiram as well at 4.31 with no pressing need to know who would come out of sleeping den. At 4.31 Nemilichery accessed with Tirunninvarur coming at 4.33 and Vepampattu at 4.39, and surroundings looking to be fine. Rajammal Vidyalaya followed by Sevappet Road spotted at 4.41, and at 4.43 Putlur, 4.44 Tiruvallur where people go on a tour. Essential to load this fact that there are spate of local trains back and forth to Tiruvallur from Chennai Central with television series getting more eyeballs going by the name Vanthu whose first name is Thendral. At 4.45 Egattur with three tracks till now adding to the rule. Kadammattur spotted, and from here there is a bridge over dry river making fewer shiver. At  4.50 Mannavur, 4.52 Tiruvalangadu. And the convoy comes to a screeching halt at 5.07, and the train is in no short of confidence despite after 5 sighting no forest that is dense.  

Mosur, Arakkonam Accessed; Chennai To Coimbatore Passage Should Remain Blessed 

At 5.08 Mosur, 5.32 Arakkonam, 5.33, and here some old Tamil women outside in animated conversation and watching movement of this train with no desire to gain fame. Noting be made that prior to 5.30 lakes sprout, and they maintaining momentum be no seasonal bout. At 5.40 First Underpass spotted. Some young students of class 3 or 4 waving at us from a level crossing, and perhaps they would be aware of benefits of nosing. At 5.42 Chitteri with Second Underpass spotted at 5.48 with some on board wishing to place an order from an eatery. Thoughts here on Chennai to Coimbatore passage, and the need for high speed rail network doling out passengers hour by hour perks.When that would come up not known in a nation that during difficult moments stands lone. Patch of barren land subsumed by patch of green shade is all we can see with no urgency to establish contacts with Mr Lee. At 5.53 Sholinghur accessed, 5.57 Thalangai. At 6 Lord Hanuman STATUE comes to one's notice with Third Underpass refraining from mentioning those who swear by lotus. 

Mukundarapuram, Latteri Accessed; Reaching Coimbatore With No Stress

At 6. 08 Mukundarapuram, 6.12 Tiruvalam, 6.14 Jeymalli International School (CBSE) where students irrespective of weather remain cool. At 6.16 Sevur,  6.18 Pearl Research Park with a halt at 6.19 in Katpadi the talk. At 6.29 Latteri. Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Underpasses spotted between 6.15 and 6.32, and this noted by train crew. After Latteri there are series of houses flanked by green cover with some putting faith in brand Denver. This followed by Seventh, Eight, Ninth Underpasses leaving enough commuting choices. Expansive green cover after 6.38 with Valathoor coming at 6.47 followed by Melpatti with some sporting turban. Salem at 8.48, Erode 9.40 and finally Coimbatore at 11.12 with those deboarding being greeted with ringing of bell.  

Few moments later take a room in Hari Priya lodge with Mr Kadreshan, Mr Marrimuttu at the helm with some disposed to release contact number 04222300580, and calls to be made from room number 66 with no desire to revisit mandate of BRICS. Noting be made that in Chennai it was room 408, and in Kotagiri for 105 one had to wait.

Taking A Train To Chennai In Tamil Nadu Province In South India With No Thoughts On Sandia

Taking A Train To Chennai In Tamil Nadu Province In South India With No Thoughts On Sandia

Having tried time and again to secure a lower berth, and this looking beyond one, I left Safdarjung Enclave home in New Delhi at 1.55 PM on a Wednesday to gain access to South India with some thoughts on PHINDIA. With headquarters in Delhi, PHINDIA motivates teachers to teach and students to learn in surroundings that are witness to irresistible churn. Back to back traffic on Delhi road with thoughts on Thiruvanthapuram (Kerala Province In South India) and expected trains from there to Kalka (Haryana Province In North India) coming in troika. Primarily meant for those likely to visit Shimla (Himachal Pradesh Province), and missing here associates going by the name Leela. Take Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Setu abutting huge market INA, and all of 11 minutes on this road with this stretch feted by some essentially coming from Tamil Nadu's Erode. Back to back traffic on Lala Lajpat Rai Marg  considering none get waylaid by loan shark

Reaching Hazrat Nizamuddin Station In New Delhi

Lal Masjid Madrasa accessed at 2.07 and Lodi Road 2.10 with some carrying Currency Yen. Yen can get you all goodies in life even in a distant locale like Delhi where rumours at random thrive. Passing through Sabz Burz at 2.11 with notable mention of no access to railway station from Nizamuddin East as some want to retain the charm of holding feast. Reach Hazrat Nizamuddin station at 2.20 with some in Gondwana Express train hailing from minority, and by no means looking haughty. Primarily Gondwana Express, Chennai Rajdhani and Andaman Express parked in Platforms 6, 5, 4 with ample hints coming on those taking a tour. It was Mr Ajay who piloted the auto to station and porter Mr Akram Khan who put the luggage on board with Chennai Rajdhani leaving after 3.30 and some disinterested to watch proceedings on LED. With stations as deep as Okhla, Tuglakabad, Faridabad, Asaoti, Palwal, Mathura touched, I could least keep a tab on them as I was missing window seat fun. Pleading to TTE for getting me the lower berth fell on deaf ears and till 8 (PM) there was nothing to cheer. 

Gentleman From Tiruchchirapali Chips In

There was one gentleman from Tiruchchirapali (Trichy In Tamil Nadu) kind enough to spare lower berth, and he taking side upper that came with no perks. Agra (Uttar Pradesh Province) came at 5.40 followed by Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh Province) 6.55, Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh Province) 8.15, Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh Province) 11.22, and having entered the Hindi Heartland the postings on same looked to be true. Postings that Hindi Space could least deliver jobs, and it was South (South India) not necessarily tied in knots. By the time Nagpur (Maharashtra Province) came at 5.10 (AM) rains had touched this section in grand ton. Chandrapur (Maharashtra) at 7.40 and Balharshah (Maharashtra) at 8 with some Tamil Women deboarding with this Maharashtra belt pitching in with happiness courting. Having rained in these regions there is no prime need to get them renamed. After Nagpur there was occasional sighting of Ultratech Cement (India's Number One) ad, and this known to Pitt whose first name is Brad. Sirpur Kagaznagar came at 9.10 and we were broadly in Telangana Province In South India where people by and large unaware of Gujarat folk dance dandia. By the time expansive green corridor after 9.30 seen, there were thoughts on Nathdwara (Pilgrimage Point In Rajasthan Province In West India) with those hosting visitors going by the second name Deora. Warangal (Telangana; South Central Railway) at 11.40 with low rise structures making a splash and one hopes here e-rickshaws would make inroads and stay put despite spate of vehicles doing driving rash. Rash driving one should not dabble with despite malfunctioning in power grid. 

The Warangal Whisper

Has Warangal been lucky to have thick infusion of SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) no one knows as this gallery could well have gentlemen from West Bengal Province going by the name Mr Bose. Go past Telangana Rythu Bhawan, Vignan High School where discipline is the rule. Mind you, right after Balharshah there were scores of MH Carriers trucks perhaps destined to carry load after getting the requisite bucks. At 12 Nekonda, 12.22 Mahabubabad and Khammam at 1.05 (PM) with these places in Telangana yet to spell out Brazilian life and those working for GIFE. GIFE is primarily association of Brazilian social investors known to carry the good work of ancestors. Kondapalli at 2 and tall hills prior to Vijayawada looking to be true. Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh Province) the convoy reached at 2.32 with nothing to rue. For evening snacks and dinner the train pantry took the food delivery from here, and this journey so far had been subjected to wear and tear. The previous day snack was a bit stale and dinner looking average, and Thursday meals to be hailed as it was minus beverage. Announcement on Visakhapatnam Guntur train having arrived with some trains carrying load of Indian Tribe. At 6 Penna river, 6.09 Nellore, 6.20 Kommarapudi, 6.33 Gudur, and all these places in Andhra pool. After 8.30 what to gain was Chennai Central, and this was roughly 29 hour riddle.  

Ride High On Hopes With Some Yet To Figure Out SIR Ropes

This was a ride high on hopes with some yet to figure out SIR (Special Intensive Revision) ropes. Some maintained SIR was dire opposite to the freedom to vote, and with over 10 million struck off from electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu, over 7 million in Provinces of Bengal and same in Bihar, this revision would face resentment in due course of time evoking fine. How could documents like AADHAR and passport be no proof of citizenship looked baffling and mystifying in a nation that seeks to replete success of CHINA GIANT. CHINA GIANT has wonders on table, and in India tenders be clean with none having the audacity to chip in with exposed cables. Exposed cables can get the classified conversation in public domain involving those going by the name Mr Raman.

It was Mr Parthasarthy who dropped me in Chennai Egmore (Chennai City) and I settling for Lakshmi Mohan Lodge on Kennet Lane which has Maha Bodhi Society as well as MMA Masjid and quite close is Sacred Heart Shrine which post visit makes the individual in acts and speech kind. In Kennet Lane Mr John and Mr Purushottam of Lakshmi Lodge were wonderful and hope they drool.

Smart Lodges In South Karnataka With No Thoughts On Filipino Singer Rica

Smart Lodges In South Karnataka With No Thoughts On Filipino Singer Rica

As reports appear in a section of PRESS which is under undeniable stress, smart lodges have taken the lead in the State of Karnataka (Karnataka Is A Province In South India) where temperatures are little to whisper about vis-a-vis Delhi where they maintain their clout. Temperatures for the past 20 days have shown no intent to recede with hours spent on bed during night that unfailingly tease. Unforgettable moments during night where high temperatures with high humidity one comes across with reactions that at random pause. Against this hotness of Delhi, Bengaluru chips in with moderate heat intensity with some maintaining the famed round belly and never losing an opportunity to paint the city with a dash of creativity. Reports on South Karnataka are few and far, most disposed to the idea that affordable lodges have come up minus pub. South Karnataka primarily cruising with the belief that Coorg and Chikmagalur are home to some indefatigable experiences with loads of fun cases. 

Taking A Train Which Should Stick To Its Lane; Driest June In 146 Years 

For those residing in the North (North India), the twist and turn of accessing Karnataka would be less bothersome if a train ride is tried irrespective of those aligned to fly the kite with a new bride. The ride would be peppered with thoughts on provinces the convoy would touch with no pressing need to splurge. The provinces to share and spell could very much be those in the Hindi Heartland to those in Middle Section ever ready to showcase the tribe who do morning errands. Once having reached Bengaluru one could well take a public transport to Coorg and Chikmagalur, and better be in the company of a host who abominates going on a tour. Tour even when season is low and stock markets refuse to glow. These two places in South Karnataka would let one to explore to the last mile as the one who is slated to take the crown is amidst those who report to lands that are invariably fertile. These two spots could bring one face to face with those who are weather boss as June the month deemed to be the driest in 146 years with rain battle looking to be fierce. Rain battle one could not have envisaged as early as April, and as curtains come down on June there would be more than handful with a wish rains have the appetite to croon. Driest in 146 years, and this ably noted in quarters of those who on spotting first raindrop raise cheers.

Visiting Chanakyapuri In New Delhi

Visiting Chanakyapuri In New Delhi

As one keeps a tab on temperatures across India, Delhi reported 36 degrees celsius, Chennai 36, Jaipur 36, Shimla and Mussoorie 26 with sections of Coonoor and Udhagamandalam in Tamil Nadu Province at 19 a piece, and this tally known to followers of Keynes. Followers of Keynes find it hard to figure out in India the uptick in real wages as some argue it has been doctored by those who are yet to step out of cages, and doing so in phases. Stepping out was what I accomplished on a Sunday, having left Safdarjung Enclave home a little before 5 (PM) unmindful of those who let rumours thrive. With subway in Nauroji Nagar functioning hours duly noted, it was time to go past bus stand which invariably send reminders on series of buses that have not been canned, and would be for a fair time on road ramp. It were 479 (Badarpur Border), 544 ( R K Puram Sector 1), 610 ( Wazirpur Depot), 615 (Minto Road), CBD 2 (-)  (New Delhi Railway Station Gate Number 2) with some posting authentic works on Karnataka village Holalu  (Karnataka Is A Province In South India). Mind you, all these places are in the heart of Delhi where temperatures peak and pinch, and some can speak barely. 

Ring Road Market Accessed; Unsparing Auto Fare For Those Who Are Not Guests

Ring Road Market accessed followed by Africa Avenue which hosts sizeable number of guests, this was an outing on a day where some posted thoughts on cricket the sport that comes with rain not much to gain against soccer that lends fame. Perhaps India should keep up the good work on Chess which decades down the line more and more Indians would say YES. Having been in Africa Avenue for a while it was dug up at some section perhaps reminding some bottlenecks had to be erased to put in place smooth water line chase. By the time the road underneath railway bridge was spotted one could see fair number of passengers haggle over auto fare that doesn't spare. As there are no standard charts in reckoning conveying the particular kms docked and particular tariff raised in a city where some turn their gaze to splendid temperature turning a new page. Traffic on city road this day was remarkably low for those who do daredevilry and glow. From Yashwant Place one had to turn left to head towards Akbar Bhawan and take comfort in the fact that Bihar Niwas in Chanakyapuri (Bihar State Guest House; Bihar Is A Province In East India) was all reachable with no sighting of double. By the time I entered Biharika the store inside guest house, air conditioner was in full blast with no break and Bihar taxpayer chipping in for this AC cake. Prudent usage of ACs few have learnt the skills, running ceaselessly get them the thrills.

As Temperatures Vault

As Temperatures Vault

As temperatures vault across India, with fewer conscious enough to remain alert this sustained heat makes more and more blurt. Where they had erred and purred their displeasure not known in a nation where peaking temperatures can put more and more in hazard zone. Hazard zone could well be India-Bangladesh border where those in thousands are stranded facing the summer heat in the open with none in a capacity to carry Swiss Rappen. Swiss Rappen they would not have heard of in distant days as their life some entitled to let it be classed as haze with no need to be wrapped in baize. Thoughts travel back and forth about these guys with no guise facing heat for the sheer fact they don't have papers, and not disposed to take them from border grabbers. Border grabbers rained blows and took their sheets of association making them vulnerable with no delineating vision. The readiness to gel with the commoner looked wonderful prior to polls, post polls they are in for a long haul with day to day reminder of their vague host and role.

Modern Day Queens And Kings 

Camaraderie they can't raise with fellow beings as suspect and suspect surroundings chase them as life is an odyssey on rent in a shaky tent. With each passing day enthusiasm ebbs, and with no axe to grind they are dismissed as miniature and not giants. Hazard zone from where there is no turning back, and against this oppressive heat their day to day belongings get hacked. Yet they strive to stay on course as they are the ones with least greenhouse gas footprints, and they carry the tag of Modern Day Queens And Kings. Modern Day Queens And Kings have to be feted for their neutral stand on who is poaching on green land. Across aisle ACs tempting tinderbox that define the landscape of cities and towns which they engage with no break with massive billing pound. If you turn the gaze on those with machines and phones, they are no less than their forgettable clones, and they wished for once they had AC lawns. One may have the comfort of air conditioners with unlimited edition to play and not realising this earlier than later turning them grey. From AC machines to flights  that transport dozens across sand dunes, the greenhouse gas reading they put on board can be nerve-racking illustrating the load. ACs won't get you the fun, multiple vehicle rides with sole occupant inside would bring ruptures to as unheard of territory as EVMs  touted till the last night as gems. From water that you chased to filter that you raised, all would be in a spot of bother if heat is set to rise with no surprise. Surreptitious claims are being made that plans are afoot to chase away heat blues, they are very much here to leave you with no clues. As temperatures keep the date, visuals may come of maelstrom of emotions that nudged one to act early to check the heat in crate.

When Tatkal Train Ticket Could Not Come Through Even After Intake Of Coffee Bru

When Tatkal Train Ticket Could Not Come Through Even After Intake Of Coffee Bru

Having decided I would be heading to South India, I checked seat availability in different set of trains, and they dropping little hints. Travelling on occasions are no less than ordeal of sorts, and this better realised when temperatures peak and peak with substantial numbers able to figure out this weather trick. Travelling that too on sustained weak ticket (Upper Berth Ticket) can be nightmarish even for those residing on terrace. Terrace guys do have the comfort to know when there would be downpour with few putting forth monsoon would be minus roar. Terrace guys do know the art of fixing the lacunae encircling tatkal train ticket with some whispering success after taking bath from a bucket. For over 15 days I tried to figure out tatkal train ticket availability online with each passing day suggesting that it was devoid of shine. What all one could avail was the message of high traffic, and by the time windows opened there were  intimidating sessions looking less therapeutic. 

Tuesday Was The Day Of Reckoning 

Tuesday was the day of reckoning as I decided to access railway reservation centre where passengers invariably carry calendar. Having visited this spot in the month of February, this visit this month was on a different trajectory. Humongous was the collection of people, equally alarming was the appearance of a monsoon rebel. Against this scenario I bided time hoping against hope that I won't be asked to pay the fine. With number 15 marked against my name I was hoping for a miracle equally true for those who had faced recent poll debacle. Poll debacle for the sheer fact that polls in some sections were rigged, and this made possible by those sporting wig. By the time it turned 9.30 (AM) came the message that cash payment had been done away with, and UPI (Unified Payments Interface) payment and debit/credit cards were being accepted even from those who resided in colonies gated. This was horror of sorts, more horror in store when window booking opened for sure. Those wishing to make UPI Payments were facing network issues (no internet), and those making card payments having little clues. By the time my turn came all seats in South India bound train taken perhaps suggesting more finding it ripe to visit Territory Deccan. And the woman personnel at the counter finding me in dilemma of sorts, and I by no means interested in taking a ride in a yacht. I came home wondering where I had erred as I had reached the reservation centre around 7.20 with I having been briefed by railway HOD  (Head Of Department). I wondered would I be successful to take a commute to South (India) with puzzle on ascertaining seat availability not looking to be a bout. Where was the rationale to do away with cash transactions as in parts of country  some handed the responsibility to dig to unearth gold on occasions lose directions. After 11.30 I again made a round of reservation centre having discovered there were 50 seats vacant for train destined to leave on July 1, and here the counter man could not gel with the idea that lower berth would be spared as side upper berth he cared. With side upper berth allotted I am in a fix, and this reservation centre foray shrieks.

Not Able To Fix This Lacunae

Railways to date have not been able to fix the tatkal ticket inadequacies, and shortcomings on this front likely to stay plump. Where is the need to do away with cash transactions as India is a nation where majority cannot endear themselves to those with right connections. Connections to gain a reprieve from mind boggling inflation to those delineated to take regime's dictation. This dictation scolds one to fall in line else depository would  initiate action. Here a large number go to bed unfed and yet the regime wants digital route edge. Digital edge won't come for the next 20 decades what to talk of 10 trillion ticket. Ten trillion ticket dream is being promised to all forgetting this nation's sovereign debt is $ 2.58 trillion toss, and by no means giving the brief who is the boss. As I make umpteen attempts to figure out any train with available seats to leave before July 1, the predicament shuttle that some are in illustrate none can have fun.
