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.

Thoughts On The Way To Middle Section Of Delhi

Thoughts On The Way To Middle Section Of Delhi

Having reached Middle Section Of Delhi on a Thursday, the ride saw me immersed in thoughts on Mangla Lakshadweep Express train I boarded in 2011 to reach Manmad in Maharashtra where inroads would be made by designs Daidra. It was a year when Maharashtra looked simple having inmates sporting dimple. It was a year when this province could take comfort in the fact that investments touching its base would quadruple with no sighting of a rebel. Rebel for the very fact that home investors could sign the deal here in Maharashtra with no pressing urgency to go to Distant Davos to meet entities going by the name Bose and pose. These voyages to Distant Davos or destinations having wash wash ton echo, and better be we squared up to each other rather genuflecting to a leader with a rider who is known to dither. 

Seafarers Not Hit By Missile; Taking Strides Agile

It was a year (2011) when foreign visits were shrinking each passing month with no Indian seafarers hit by wash wash ton missile, and yet having the audacity to hold one to one meeting with the man known to fire revulsion and bile. Deep-seated resentment that nation at large at present has against wash wash ton is easy to figure out keeping none in doubt. If the nation can't stand up for their soldiers and seafarers then who to expect to take up their cause with no pause. It is high time high-octane policy of tilting towards one power be nipped as future transgressions would be hard to rip. It is time to introspect, and not time and again in foreign shores trip. Nothing of that seen in 2011 or 2018 when a maze of stumble here and a maze of tremble there were by and large classed rare.

Pack Of Milk To No Pack Of Thrill

Two thousand and eleven a year when one pack of milk across board could be availed for Rs 28 as against Rs 62 when cartons after cartons don't release clue. Milk that too at this stupendous rate seems to gel little with the middle class which has receding choices and deemed fit by administrators to not make noises. Middle class is in the crosshairs for long and strikingly seen in unheard of places like Kalimpong. With no thrill on hand, middle class can't sum up sentiments despite floating with South African Rand. When I boarded this train duly disposed to the idea that it would consume over 16 hours to complete the commute in a nation where TTEs appear to be in brute majority, and some having the desire to flaunt ID. This train ride is over 15 years old and looking back to places with chiselled details like Barrackpore they seem to be no less than gold. Let freedom of expression take wings, and from Barrackpore to Behrampur unveil the new set of kings.

Having Accessed Middle Section Of Delhi Again In A City Whose Thoroughfare Is Busy Anticipating No Rain

Having Accessed Middle Section Of Delhi Again In A City Whose Thoroughfare Is Busy Anticipating No Rain

Having anticipated there won't be any trouble, I stepped to head towards Middle Section Of Delhi again in a city that visibly has fewer with taints. This city could well be the bedrock of spirituality if in the long run it could have measured traffic guarantee. With Mr Ram Hazoor Singh of Indian Oil Petrol Pump dispensing change, I could well think of travelling in a city bus coming with added comfort plus. As I longed to board CBD 2 (-) New Delhi Railway Station Gate Number 2, the wait saw me keep a tab on series of buses with no bruises. Primarily the connect they provide with buses like ISBT Sarai Kale Khan (567), Nehru Place (DS-28), Nehru Place (442), Noida Sector 62 (392), Sarai Kale Khan ISBT (711 A), Shahdara (623), Badarpur (479), ISBT Anand Vihar (543 A), Safdarjung (568, 628), Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (588), and this city keeping a track of unmanned ATMs in a jiffy (Mind you, all these places in the heart of Delhi). ATMs do give the comfort of collecting as well as correlating cash, those be on vigil where there is an intentional party bash. 

Thoughts On Pockets In North To Those In West Lot

Having boarded the said bus at 9.30, some of the spots it touched were West Kidwai Nagar, East Kidwai Nagar, South Extension, Andrews Ganj, Gupta Market, Lajpat Nagar, Nehru Nagar with thoughts on Himachal the Province in North India and Kopargaon tucked in Maharashtra Province with some willing to speak on Canadian credit union Tandia. There are directions to Mathura Road, India Gate, Nizamuddin, and having made note of CROMA A TATA ENTERPRISE store and Honda Authorised Service Centre, we are in a city where there are services of car rental minus cartel. As we are close to Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin, thoughts again on Maharashtra and temperatures peaking there and drip irrigation module almost on verge of ageing. Thoughts as well on observations made by TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) that campus recruitment would in the near future shrunk, and in due course junk. All along the bus ride some peppered with the belief that staying hooked to a cell can give updates on those at home ringing the bell. Ringing bell to welcome visitors from South who feign ignorance about those who have vote clout. Right after Golf Club, the bus turns right to Subramania Bharti Marg and in quick succession accessed Delhi Zoo and National Stadium where some while crossing this stretch think of holding all-powerful AGM (Annual General Meeting). Mind you, there is back to back traffic, and this won't get reservoir of support from traffic addict.

ITO Accessed, Delhi Gate Next

At 10.14 ITO gained with no thoughts on Kyoto crane. Kyoto Protocol of '97 legally binds developed nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to this date some would note there have been least submissions. When the Powers Of The North (Developed Countries) be candid enough to submit themselves to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and not take pleasure to see the Powers Of South (Developing Countries) in division. In ITO there is Pearey Lal Bhawan, Shankar's International Doll Museum with the urgency to be shown by city  administrators to keep Delhi Gate well lit during night with no resolve to get in a fight. As one goes past Parsi Anjuman, there are thoughts on Japan and peaking temperatures that can't be canned. Thoughts on Mount Abu in Rajasthan Province, Colaba in Maharashtra where too peaking temperatures make some skip milk in pack of tetra. Peaking temperatures all around can be no fun, from North To South, East To West it hits the alacrity signals of even those who are not plump. We are on Jawaharlal Nehru Marg as we touch the base of Zakir Husain Delhi College and Civic Centre, and here some in animated conversation bordering candour. Having alighted here, the approach to New Delhi Railway Station Platform 16  bring us face to face with those who are teen.
