Postings From Jaisalmer On A Train Ride To Jodhpur From Delhi Cantt Railway Station

Postings From Jaisalmer On A Train Ride To Jodhpur From Delhi Cantt Railway Station

Leave Safdarjung Enclave Home At 1.10 PM On A Monday, the day the city is least prepared to take under its belt the weighty traffic with no thoughts on Canadian Town Inuvik. Go past Embassy Of Cambodia where there are guys in white and black attire perhaps waiting for visas to travel to Phnom Penh to gain. As usual there is back to back traffic on Delhi ring road, less seen in Tamil Nadu's Erode. Go past Bhikaji Cama Place. Go past GAIL Leading The Change To A Cleaner Future with those having withdrawn from Paris Accord in coming months may not be able to park themselves next to a yacht. Go past Sector 12 R K Puram. Go past South Moti Bagh (Mind You All These Places Are In The Heart Of Delhi). With Directions to South Campus (Delhi University), Satya Niketan, Nanakpura not on hold, and some in the city residing with the name Deora. Reach Dhaula Kuan at 1.25, and from here Jaipur 295 kms, Mumbai Expressway 40 kms with none appearing to be doofus. There are directions to Arjan Vihar, Janakpuri, Uttam Nagar, locales in West Delhi, with some maintaining contacts with fishing villages Koli. First red light spotted at 1.28, second 1.30, third as well at 1.30, and these lights not necessarily next to a place seeking ID. There are thoughts on Shimla, Mc Leodganj in Himachal Pradesh Province where people recall works of Keynes. Perhaps this Delhi Cantt area would require flyovers down the years given the insurmountable traffic bringing at this moment no cheers. Thoughts on how I gained rail ticket by visiting Sarojini Nagar Reservation Centre come to the fore with no uproar. 

Seeking Tatkal Ticket From Reservation Centre; Beginning Of Train Ride

Having reached reservation centre a day before train ride was to commence at eight in the morning, I was clueless on how entry would be made in the register deciding the first come first served basis for those including barristers. Once entry was made around 9.30 the rail personnel appeared verifying who all had come early and filled the requisite train forms for tatkal ticket, and expected to carry luggage in train minus trolley. Getting hold of my form, he asked for my mobile number. Having understood I was not carrying mobile, he said he would chip in with his number as OTP was required to be dispensed with to gain tatkal ticket, and this somewhat looking rigid. Around 9.55 I was at the counter hoping to get the ticket to State Of Rajasthan, with least likelihood there would be calls later from Turkmenistan. By the time the clock struck 10, Mr Jaideep the rail man was helpful enough to book the ticket. At 10.10 I got the Jodhpur ticket primarily in tatkal bracket with no pressing need to carry tennis racket. With these thoughts on Sarojini Nagar Rail Counter at the back of mind, the ride in Delhi Cantt was past Kirby Place with I reaching Delhi Cantt  Station after 1.38 in a nation that should slam the campaign of hate. The Jodhpur bound train (26482) leaves at 3.11, and no sooner it started to move it stopped. Uttar Union Mazdoor Union (North India Workers Forum) board could be seen with ease, and hope with Railway Board they are at peace. Flanked by series of flats, Palam comes at 3.19, and Shahbad Mohammadpur at 3.25. Few moments later Bijwasan followed by Gurgaon, and the latter should witness no water supply erosion. High rise flats in Gurgaon poles apart, and hope the residents have sweet time and not tied in day to day knot. M2K Olive Greens, Pareena flats can be sighted, and hope here confessions at some point of time candid. Here thoughts on Air Deccan Flight I took from Madras (Now Chennai) in March 2005 after returning from Tirumala, and there was no monopoly of sorts, and govt during that time not tied in blackmailing plans-cum-plots.

Unscheduled Stoppage At Garhi Harsaru

Locomotive of GEMA positioned at Garhi Harsaru station. The unscheduled stoppage at Garhi Harsaru for unknown reasons despite students taking tuition. Here thoughts on Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu Province) and West Bengal, and some in these sections hope to reap a rich haul. After Ichhapuri station there is sighting of second rail track reminding some guys railways have the day to day running knack. Thoughts here on Ajmer Dargah as well which I visit with none to come across as a rebel. Pansari cha (tea) instant premix offered as part of snacks is too sweet, let it be moderate irrespective of train fleet. Annoucement onboard of train passing through neutral section, there would be temporary suspension of overhead electric supply, with no thoughts on Ericsson. Ajaraka comes at 4.40, Harsauli at 4.55. Sighting of Aravallis after 4.55, here the authorities better watch out for illegal mining, and those doing so after dining. 

Reaching Alwar, Reaching Jaipur, Jodhpur; Train To Jodhpur Way Back In 1977-78

Alwar comes at 5.12, Bandikui at 5.48. Dausa at 6.05. The convoy stopped at Jatwara for no reasons. Thoughts on SVBC (Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel) and Tirumala In Andhra Pradesh Province where people are blessed with peace innings. The train commute to Jaipur from Delhi Cantt can be done done under three hours as the convoy was stopping after every 15 to 20 minutes chase thereby hitting the base. And here it took four hours with enough moments of pause. The dinner from Base Kitchen Jaipur is piping hot, and something to relish in a nation that has hamlets going by the name Oasis. With series of underpasses right after Ajaraka Station, it is to the benefit of commuters who gain lessons on weather from day tutors. After Jaipur Phulera comes at 8, Makrana 8.40, Degana Junction 9.12 with enough water in the well. Train personnel Mr Gagan from A S Sales helpful enough in getting the tea as sitting for straight eight hours can be no fun which most agree. Meet onboard Mr Gautam Jain settled in Jodhpur with his son working as CA in Pune getting clients even from distant Hapur. Mr Gautam Jain used to take train from Old Delhi Station in 1977-78 which used to leave at 6.30 PM with fare in 8 reservation coaches at Rs 100, and there were 12 unreserved coaches whose passengers were expected to reside after reaching their destinations in varied lodges. The train would reach Jodhpur the next day at 6.30 in the morning with none yawning. Meet as well Mr Paras Yadav having gained B Tech degree from IIT Jammu and working for PIDILITE Fevicol in Jodhpur. Perhaps toying with the idea to write CAT (Common Admission Test) for pursuing MBA in Indian Institutes Of Management (IIMs) at a time when the nation is seeking a drive to keep space safe for pedestrian movement. Pedestrians have a right to take a march out if space meant for them is encroached, and from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer none should poach.

This ride consuming all of eight hours was meant to reach a destination known for tourist attractions with visitors coming in multiple and working for brand Apple. This ride came on a day when travellers across length and breadth heaved a sigh of relief with no untoward movement seen in Sir Creek.

When Train Ticket Through Rail Site Could Not Come Through In New Delhi, A City Where Public Transport Is Blue

When Train Ticket Through Rail Site Could Not Come Through In New Delhi, A City Where Public Transport Is Blue

All prepared to gain online ticket, I ventured into rail site well before the promising hours of 10 could begin, hoping the train ticket would come with ease, and this endeavour would be a breeze. Well before 10 AM was to set in I was thrilled that there were 24 vacant slots in Tatkal Category for a train going to West India where weather is comparatively less harsh for unending hours. As I waded into rail site after logging in, message repeatedly came booking for this class has not started and make attempt after some time. 10 AM had truly set in, and yet the site was awash with message of no booking commenced in a nation where the north-south tensions don't look dense. After a wait of five minutes, I gained the famed opportunity to begin booking only to hit another roadblock when Aadhar Based Authentication had docked. Wait for these very few seconds the message came, and by the time this set of challenge was brought under the belt, the message came that seats are not available despite some carrying rail label, and having tea of the brand red label.

Left With No Other Option Than Window Ticket

Now the sole course left was to go for normal ticket, with an eye to get that prized lot where vacant seats for travel four days later was over and above 100 in a nation where tracks are saturated, and despite that infusion of high speed trains time and again asserted. Here after meeting all formalities when the ripe moment came to make payment, no forward movement could be made, and for the next five minutes I bided time, and the session came to an end, with this episode looking to be of high rent. This was a day when rail site irctc could be least visible in getting the deed done, and I was left with no other option than seek window ticket, and that too another day with another set of assumptions coming on a tray.

Keeping In Abeyance The Proposed Visit To Delhi Cantt

Keeping In Abeyance The Proposed Visit To Delhi Cantt

Having Dropped The Idea Of Visiting Delhi's Kashmere Gate, I as well had to keep in abeyance the proposed ride to Delhi Cantt where protesters have shelved the move to pitch their tent. Protesters probably won't gain a chance to raise their voice in Delhi Cantt as this is an Army Station with enough cushion. Protesters would have to rethink while on a mission to Delhi Cantt as vans and vehicles are frisked if carrying cash suggests an uptick. Protesters trooping as well into Jantar Mantar in the heart of Delhi less is known, as India is a nation flanked by Desert States and sand dunes. Sand dunes do get visitors in multiple, and right from Barmer to Jaisalmer, they are eager. These desert hideouts in prime need to check the crossings from  neighbouring spots irrespective of those residing and less revealing in yachts. 

Trade Ties With A Host Of Nations

Coming to Delhi Cantt with enough green sheet in and around perhaps illustrating it is freed from Delhi Traffic Heat no matter how visible are those with British Pound. Trade ties with British should be on a new pedestal including with Australia and New Zealand, the nations that preach peace and don't rant. Trade ties with nations in The Far East To African Nations Wishing Peace be tried with renewed momentum as there are no riders of $ 500 billion purchase which none can't gauge and keep pace. If ever visitors from these nations land in Delhi, the city traffic would be bothersome if one is locked in serpentine queue with little clue. Serpentine queue can be an irritant of sorts if one has to rush to work place or participate in sessions that would decide tennis fate. Tennis tourney in this city/country is set for a makeover as India would realise down the decade that this is one Sport that is watched by even those not commuting in land rover.

As outings in Delhi have been less and receding in the months gone by, the invitation to visit Middle Section Of City was in doldrum as pessimism defined Parliament proceedings bereft of logic innings. Parliament should dwell at length how Iran came to our rescue when there was voting in UN on Kashmir, and Iran at peace with itself should be the prayer with no fear.

Having Dropped The Idea of Visiting Delhi's Kashmere Gate On Roads Marked By Traffic In Crate

Having Dropped The Idea Of Visiting Delhi's Kashmere Gate On Roads Marked By Traffic In Crate

Having dropped the idea of visiting Kashmere Gate in the heart of Delhi, the factors were many irrespective of sighting those doing households chores going by the name Annie. The ride from Safdarjung Enclave to Kashmere Gate would have been in a public transport which on occasions in some parts of country don't carry the requisite number of passengers to port. Port where the passengers off and on dissect the runaway inflation in the country, and GST intrusion on host of commodities making a Grand Entry. These are tough days for common man on street who has a disdain to be part of a convoy even in place as distant as Ohio. With prices of vegetables to milk in no mood to relinquish the reigning fort, least visible is the coverage by mainstream media post yoghurt. Prices of essential items are hitting the home budget, conversant with the belief that any amount of income won't be enough to meet the home needs in a nation where lost in the hullabaloo is the ruling regime nasty deeds. 

The Churn And Coating In Opposition Space

The churn and coating in Opposition Space the mainstream media least covers, this is the same set of media that is bound to give the ruling regime the advantage with no in-built inertia. Why the media is shy to cover Opposition Space, perhaps the answer lies in the diktat issued from elements from ruling regime base. If you ever cover Opposition Grouping in toto, you would be silenced with Weapons Of Mass Annihilation coming in the form of raids with varying dates. The Mainstream Media is scared, and thereby least likely to give space to Opposition Events, and making them to believe they are tenants. The Mainstream Media does not have foresight, and those in Opposition Block would sooner than later be in driving seat on trot. Perhaps for the very reason that in providing clean governance from potable water supply minus irritants to clean air and energy, which should have been the responsibilities to attend to, and instead the ruling regime went after the Opposition Groups one after another to make the country understand they are the sole tutor. The ever evolving fear makes those in Opposition Benches speak less as Central Agencies Raids can invoke stress. But these very infamous raids would visit those in ruling space once they demit office with country by and large having understood their fake promise.

Why The Famed Ride To Kashmere Gate Abandoned

Coming to the likely ride to Kashmere Gate that was abandoned in no time,  the queries could well be would the bus and the bus seat to the desired destination arrive on time in a nation and world where there are prayers for Iran which in Middle East is no less than a pearl. The ride to Kashmere Gate lasting over and above 40 minutes would be amidst insurmountable traffic, with likelihood of some taking the mantle of maverick. With those at the driving seat perhaps not under the influence of liquor as in this very city there are speeding giants who are eager. Would the ride past South Extension and IP Depot come in with no share of road challenges in a city where there are households with more than five cars, and nicknamed traffic czars. From Udhagamandalam to Udaipur most are well versed with Delhi traffic crew where majority have no road clue. As less are likely to take public transport, the flood of vehicles on Delhi roads would continue to dig in as lottery system for vehicle registration has not been introduced with King having lost his Wing.

Visiting Delhi Cantt Railway Station Again In A City That Has Hosted Rains In Brevity

Visiting Delhi Cantt Railway Station Again In A City That Has Hosted Rains In Brevity

Having gained opportunity to visit Delhi Cantt Railway Station on January 2, the following Tuesday visited the same again with majority believing the nation won't be deterred by tariff train. Ten per cent, 20 per cent, 25 per cent is all bunkum, this agreed as well by those residing in West Bengal's Dumdum. Some had the gall to call Greenland is mine, and if they continue to do so they would lose tenure shine. This nuisance on Greenland Is No Grand and bereft of logic, the continued assertiveness would make the administration restive and enter A Hall Of Blip.

Reaching Delhi Cantt

Leave home at 11.40. Go past Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church, and reach Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 11.52, and this bone chilling weather most plane crew rue. There is an ad of Croma A TATA Enterprise, and this said entity would register growth more than thrice. There are buses with numbers 569 Sultanpuri, 567 Kamruddin Nagar, 623 Nangal Depot. Board 724 (Uttam Nagar) at 11.55 with thoughts on Kalighat Temple, Kolkata, Dakhineswar Temple, Kolkata, a city where tourists do come from Delhi NCR's Noida. Go past Bhikaji Cama Place, and here most boarding 569, perhaps illustrating Sultanpuri in Delhi is giant. Thoughts on Ahmedabad (Gujarat Province), Ahmednagar (Maharashtra Province), and temperatures prevailing there, and none subjected to wear and tear. Go past Sector 12 R K Puram, Central Public Works Department Govt Residential Complex and all round traffic snarl shows in due course bickering may emerge in grouping BRICS. Reach South Moti Bagh at 12.15 with thoughts on Maharashtra 's Balharshah where most are weather keen. Go past Satya Niketan, go past Dhaula Kuan, go past R R Lines with thoughts on vloggers and journos of the likes of Mr Soumit Bhattacharya, Mr Saurabh Shukla (The Red Mike), Mr Ravish Kumar, Mr Sanket Upadhyay, Mr Ajit Anjum, Mr Abhisar Sharma, and they should be fine. Board of Delhi Cantonment Welcomes You. We Strive For Better Civic Life greets one as vehicles enter Delhi Cantt in tonnes. One E - Rickshaw in Kirby Place carrying passengers more than permissible, and hope such acts don't come in double.

Making Noting Of Trains Coming To This Station

At the Delhi Cantt Railway Station train number 54310 Delhi Hissar Passenger (expected time 1.21 PM), train number 12371 Howrah Bikaner Express (expected time 1.28), 14311 Ala Hazrat Express (1.38), 14322 Ala Hazrat Express (2.33), 19270 Porbandar Express (2.36), 26471 Vande Bharat (1.50), 20977 Vande Bharat (2.23).
As due timings of varied set of trains duly recorded, I deem fit to leave Station and board Outer Mudrika  Service (OMS) bus at 1.15. Reach Dhaula Kuan at 1.45 with buses coming from Narnaul, Alwar and Tijara with any attempt to invade Tehran would leave the administration with no work and plan. You invaded Iraq, you invaded Afghanistan, and now you are too tiresome, and any other Middle East Misadventure would bring you pain and no fun. 

This outing in Delhi was in the backdrop of slew of trains running behind schedule in the face of fog which was the perennial rule. This outing undercored the need that never board empty buses as bus driver and conductor indulge in inappropriate conduct in a city witness to sessions of abduct.
