Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago 

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, one has lost count of number of times one had white rice, and those invited to the dais. Probably it would stand at 25 in a span of 18 days in 18 ways. Having white rice for 25 times is no mean task as I ventured to South (South India) where youngsters are aware of issues facing the nation including the terrain of aviation. Having white rice in areas as diverse as Kotagiri, Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Coimbatore (High Beaming Spots Of Tamil Nadu Province In South India), TIRUMALATirupati (Andhra Pradesh Province In South India), there was no pressing need to establish contact with Turkmenistan HoD. Turkmenistan HoD particularly in Ashgabat city would have flagged the issue of umpteen intake of white rice as this won't be approved by young followers of Condoleezzaa Rice who have off and on won the sprint prize. Sprint prize to speak up for those who could not lead life of dignity in the face of fewer resources to avail basic necessity. 

Young Elements Waging Battle In Forests That Are Dense

Young elements across world initiating posts on trouble spots, and those at the helm finding it no easy to set in motion  interrogation plots. Interrogation to make the opponents look crestfallen, and this very much believed in distant Holland. Here in India, the young tribe knows it won't be left out in the crowd, and would be part of dais proceedings from Bengaluru to Beawar where in prominence would be those batting for sizeable innings. Time is ripe youth are involved back and forth in decision-making as unemployment issues gather storm hitting the base of those who believed they could do no wrong. Time is ripe as well to put in place an administrator who doesn't dither to pass verdict on unwarranted foreign travels that have struck unbelievable blow on exchequer, and this notably noted by those taking ride in buses with no bruises like double decker. Administrator who won't add paean to those holding inflation cane. Staggered inflation hits the home budget fast, irrevocable has been verdict on those having the ruling pass. Administrator who would dig deep to trace what nails railways to airways, suggesting remedies that for the next one year lead them to keep ace with pace.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, temperatures of 34 to 36 degrees celsius brings no cheers. Muggy afternoon plays spoilsport, and stepping out one is prevented rote by rote.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, temperatures during day time have been peaking to 34 Degrees Celsius as against 18 in Udhagamandalam and 20 in Kodanada View Point (Tamil Nadu Province) with temperatures in North India all set to soar and remain giant. North India experiencing excessive heat as well to stay till October beat. Excessive temperatures that let thousands give miss to air travel round the country as malfunctioning aero parts need to be attended to thereby giving the aviation administrator the much-needed clue. 

Aircraft Components Be Salvaged And Saved

Aircraft components are precious, let they be salvaged and saved with no chats on who maintain nexus. Airborne elements be kept under scrutiny as there could be challenges by very forces that down the decades may be eyeing mutiny. As tens of thousands give miss to air travel, what are the options on table to not let them turn rebel. Here train travel making less babble?
It was a chance sighting of seat availability in Chennai Rajdhani train leaving from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Station going all the way to Chennai where people at random go on vacation. This passing Tuesday there were vacant seats in general category as against waiting in Tatkal (Priority Booking Now And Then Lurking) in a nation where in dishevelled corridor one finds rolls that are electoral. (Revised electoral rolls are not the sum and substance of those likely to vote as eligible voters have been repeatedly left out, and this in passing months would bloat). Perhaps officials realised with fewer taking to air travel, better would be the idea to unveil the general category seat availability, and this by no means would add to rail liability. Rail liability that officials don't suspect for the coming months as all eyes are on train connectivity on tracks that should stay strong anticipating no hacks.

Some Finding This To Be Scruffy

Some find the aerial adventure to be scruffy and messy as one has to report to airport at least two to three hours in advance, most caught in traffic conundrum leading them to make calls to Cannes to get over tidings that are tense. Once having reached the airport from passenger frisking to baggage scrutiny some in the gathering raise hands in despair; airport authorities yet to ascertain which set of power cable to water travail in need of urgent repair. Post security check in comes the message that aircraft departure has been rescheduled as incoming flight has experienced turbulence, and this has been the new rule. Passengers from previous day to the new day are made to bide time, anxiety pangs hard to dislodge as their destination city new booking won't be accepted by lodge. Once they are airborne, they are told that weather in host city is raining blows, they would be dropped in nearby city where on arrival they would be offered rose. Trials and tribulations of travelling by air is meddlesome for middle class that here in this South Asian nation is in sizeable sum. Sizeable sum that did not let the powers that be read the writing on the wall that from breathtaking inflation to temperatures soaring are what keeping the populace agitated, and with village schools in dire straits, the fun of having steady basic foundation gets baked.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi multiple hours ago, some on board Bengaluru Rajdhani were taken aback by assuming this ride to India's Capital would take over 33 hours with I some days ago parking in Andhra Pradesh' s SUPRABATH TOWERS (Andhra Pradesh Is A Province In South India True To Turn Giant Alongside Tamil Nadu Much Known To Let Freedom Fly In Group Eenadu). SUPRABATH TOWERS where room was 405, and those making a beeline down the years would be officials from Andaman And Nicobar tribe. The idea sustaining Great Nicobar Island Development Project one should rethink as it can well endanger the fragile imprints hurting indigenous people, and make more join force to become rebel. Fiddle with nature leading one to presume there won't be season to season fissure? SUPRABATH TOWERS from where accessing Orion Restaurant was no hard task from dawn to dusk. SUPRABATH TOWERS from where I would have accessed Srinivasam Complex more than once in a nation where range of youth protests in the national capital are not getting due coverage in mainstream media, the news force bereft of an idea. Mainstream media which in the decade gone by was scared to do good, scared to this date to look rude. These protests are meant to initiate discourse on what pitfalls India lumbers with, and what are remedies to iron out so that youth don't trip.  Much water has flowed since I arrived in New Delhi where price googly hitting every belly. One can't afford to see the plan in motion to erase inflation go belly up as India is yet to ascertain the roadmap of getting to the first lap. The lap from where inflation won't make deafening noise to youths and the gen z that can with ease fix riddle, and has job choice. Job choice that gives freedom to move, and keeping one in the loop. India's Tryst With Discipline can get going if ruin frame that has visited the exchequer is stopped preferably by passing minute, and all govt spending on travels by powers that be for pursuits that are trivial could sense the emerging trouble.

Where One Had Erred, Where Images Were Blurred

These multiple hours have often make one wonder where one had erred, and the images that were blurred. Perhaps the intake of cold liquids followed by bathing in cold water opened floodgates for cough and cold and precautions taken these multiple hours let the cold story turn old. Normalcy has set in despite at this hour New Delhi having no inkling when it would get the New King. These multiple hours often make one wonder those taking ride along with me in Bengaluru Rajdhani were downright followers of Lord Govinda; they hailing from Mysuru (Mysuru Is A City In Karnataka Province Essentially Carrying The Tag Of Second Cleanest City Where At Random Residents Get Witty) where visitors do come from Andhra Pradesh's Eluru. The fees that one has to remit to travel to Eluru from New Delhi is roundabout Rs 17723 in a nation where some have sound understanding on Sir Creek. The ride to Delhi, the city that is destined to turn big with decisions primarily to be taken by those sporting no wig, and driving limousine thereby maintaining contacts with those who can deliver like King looking to be keen. The ride to Delhi oscillatted between hope and lessons on simplicity handed by those who sensing evil designs nope. The ride accomplished, there are invites from Ajmer where doors are ajar seeking to put in a word that such colonies won't have weather that some would dread. No plans in immediate future to visit despite trains to Ajmer coming in double digit known to those manning desk in Chilean IT consulting unit Lisit. Let the ride from South India be in sketch that down the decades one can recollect as delimitation exercise emerging from dictation surprise be for umpteen centuries take the much-needed rest.

The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru I, The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru II

The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru I

Having collected Tirumala Ladoos, I left Tirumala having taken cognisance of the fact that visits since July 1995 have been with the sole aim to get blessed by Lord Govinda, and drop in be at regular interval with no sighting of ride riddle. Lord Govinda goads one to believe that howsoever insurmountable may be the rush each devotee would get a chance to gain a fleeting glimpse with Delhi Chapter knowing fairly well who would be the coming Kings. Connecting bus from Tirupati for Bengaluru was all I desired having stayed in room 405 in SUPRABATH TOWERS for roughly 100 hours. Though hot for entire duration of stay, I had the fortune to look at Tirumala Hills elucidating what was essentially year to year thrill. 

Leaving For Bengaluru On A Thursday

Left on a Thursday with disciplined automan Mr M Bhaskar dropping me at the gate from where Karnataka buses can be accessed with ease, having come around that this ride comes with no notable fees. All through the stay took meals from Orion Restaurant one of the best in town even for those who have gained over the months Delhi pound. From platforms 24 to 27 there were buses slated to leave for Trichy, Salem, Vellore, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Arunachalam, all high beaming spots of South India where people are busy to unfurl new central idea. My bus leaves at 9.13. There is an ad of Bhim app featuring sportsperson Mr Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Ad as well of Dream Believe Achieve at MBU (Mohan Babu University) which hands over the clue. Go past RBL Bank, Madras Tiffin Centre having understood this city invariably hosts varied tender. Go past Birla OPUS paints store. Heritage milk and milk products making waves in Tirupati and beyond noted, and this in the coming months would be lauded. Go past PEPS the great sleep store. Go past Sri Mulasthana Yellamma Temple. Bus of Shiloka - A Birla School parked and few moments later there are broad roads that drop hints even when it is pitch dark. 

We Are On National Highway 140

We are on National Highway 140, soon followed by Candor School Tirupati. At 9.56 we access Heritage Parlour followed by board of Astral pipes India's number one, and this looking to be no hype. There is traffic diversion at 10 followed by first toll plaza at 10.05 in a season when India can jive. Go past Pavithra Grand, Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple Nendragunta. First Sri Lakshmi milk tanker spotted here, hope to see more coming with their set of lore. Few moments later a lone woman spotted speaking on cell while driving scooty not to be seen in regions that are UT (Union Territory). Hotel Saravana Bhavan accessed at 10.16 followed by Hotel Saptagiri. With Niva river in proximity, and from here Kanipakam Temple is roughly 17 kms something to brood in this South Indian province that is huge.  

The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru II

Quintessential happiness was what passengers desired as the Bengaluru bound bus moved on negotiating 250-odd kms giving to none jitters. Garuda Tours And Travels bus off and on used to overtakes us with passengers inside feeling blessed with no pounding they expected from sessions of crush. Quite notable at this moment was a woman in black attire driving bike with her associate pillion riding in a nation where price stress keeps on padding. Price rise and the incremental chase to douse the same has met with little success despite some storing at home roundabout tree buxus. Go past Irani Dude. Kanipakam Temple 0.5 kms from here for which one has to go left, and as one reached Bahuda river, this was followed by spotting of second and third milk tanker; getting the authentic supply nowadays most hanker. Go past Sri Mayuri Restaurant at 10.40. Soon after there is Chitra Coffee Bar, with thoughts on Kodanadu View Point (Tamil Nadu Province) where seldom people throw in the air coin. 

Idols Of Lord Ganesh Lined In A Series For Upcoming Festival

Idols of Lord Ganesh lined in a series  for upcoming festival, and this spotting visible even after 30 kms, and this is the latest. Go past Bharat Benz, Ashok Leylands plants with hoarding of Vidyavahini College and those who scored well, impromptu was the felicitation bell. Go past BMREV Industries. Go past Andhra Spice. Here toll plazas manned by a good number of women who after a long day in the Sun have lemon. Go past Sankrantipalli (Andhra Pradesh Province), go past Mother Dairy store, and this is for sure. At 10.55 Bengaluru 163 kms, and as we stop at Nandi Food Plaza there is TATA EV charging zone with calls to keep it going received as well from Rome. From here Bangarupalayam few kms away, and hope the trio in chess have awful contest and play. Fourth milk tanker spotted, and this reported to those residing in cottage. At 11.30 Kolar 83, Bengaluru 146 kms. Go past NKR TOWERS, and hope none get seduced by foreign powers.

Reach Palamaner; Special Mulbagal Dosa

Reach Palamaner at 11.37. Nearby there are a good number of Muslim institutions with good number of Muslims residing with no need for the next two decade to engage in paratrooping. At 12 go past Srinivasa Grand, and few kms away there is Special Mulbagal Dosa, and the art of preparing the same is fetched a month for over a million guest who least desire to travel to West. Reach Halekuppa (Karnataka Province) at 12.05, and as we are in Mulbagal Section there is new set of roads being laid by engineers who have at some point of time worked in a port. Here mopeds galore with contact man yet to come from Mangalore. With Mulbagal Dosa Corner spotted, and this secret is well guarded. Soon there is Usmani Taj Family Restaurant followed by Hanuman Granites with Bengaluru still 93 kms looking to be tight. At 12.32 go past Thirumala Filter Coffee, no need to eavesdrop on conversations in Assembly Lobby. Here thoughts on Repco bank in Tamil Nadu on which reportage is extensive by group Eenadu. Soon Woody's pure veg from Woodlands group accessed, and as we go past Nandini Palace we reach Kolar with some skipping coffee in terrace.

Lakes Sprout; Spotting TATA NANO Car; Thoughts On Nandini Milk 

As one goes past Amrutha Veg here lakes sprout, and this is visible for miles ahead lending to some their better and bread. Lakes would have been bountiful had constructions not taken place with maddening pace. At 1.07 go past Sipani fibres plant. At 1.48 HDFC Bhattarahalli branch accessed, with some manning the afternoon desk. At 1.55 we are in K R Puram, and here oranges galore with no need to raise uproar. Here lone TATA Nano car  spotted which were in good numbers in Kotagiri, Kodanadu View Point and Udhagamandalam with more likely to put in a script on business acronym LUM. Sweet products made from pure Nandini milk ad on bus, and this milk intake takes away the stress. Nandini milk has been creating waves at every corner and chase. At 2 reach Benniganahalli (Perhaps There Is Famous Benniganahalli Lake). Go past Gopalan Mall hoping against hope none get in a brawl. We reach Varthur road at 2.10. Few moments later go past Resurrection Church, Sri Balamuri Ganapathi Temple, hope no community is subjected to sessions of purge. Go past Ulsoor, Ulsoor lake. Reach Majestic in Bengaluru by 3.30 in a nation that would be flanked by different set of leaders at different point of time recouping losses at their prime. At 3.30 very much known about few set of leaders who abide by constitutional morality, and that would be no less than 24×7 duty.

This was a ride that would not have come at a more appropriate time than July the month when rains had not pitched their tent. This was a ride encompassing two provinces (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka) essaying the belief that flavour of either can be touched provided the roads are good, samaritan come in flood. This was a ride that talked about tall educational institutions that dotted the space with a new base. This ride constantly reminded one that unity in diversity chapter gets better illustrated in this section with a vision. This ride had revelation of sorts that items as elementary as dosa and milk are much in vogue in this region not saddled by divisions.

Visiting Lord Govinda Temple In Tirumala On July 14

Visiting Lord Govinda Temple In Tirumala On July 14

Having secured SSD (Slotted Sarva Darshan) token on July 13, all eyes were on proposed visit to Tirumala coming after two years, this very period witness to churn in layers. Tirumala visit was not on my itinerary when I left New Delhi as the rush and the release from compartments was too much for me vis-a-vis multiple visits to temple on a single day when tokens were disbursed in Tirumala hills for those who pray. This time as well the rush to secure tokens was sizeable with some having collected as early as 12.30 AM with gates to reach token site only opening after 6.30 in a nation where dissent has been disfigured by those carrying candy. Candy with a will to govern, and make the other considerable lot run. 

Gaining Token, Leaving For Tirumala Next Day

With token in my hand I had one-and-a half day at my disposal to make a case for those who could not chase token with success despite having at home tree buxus. On July 14 left at 12.45 PM by APSRTC (Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation) bus AP OZ 3 5356 for Tirumala with notable reminders on the way to not feed the wildlife, overtaking prohibited, keep ghat road clean, and drive slowly as one is amidst wildlife crossing zone which is much in play in July, when sections of India are dry. Spate of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh tourist cars (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh Are Provinces In South India) make an appearance with some inside putting in a prayer with patience. All devotees coming to repose faith in Lord Govinda, the presiding deity of Tirumala. Reach Tirumala at 1.45. Reach ATGH Circle at 2.20. Begin to walk and having criss-crossed different corridors, the line stops at 3.30 only to move at 4.26 with no firm appeal issued by grouping BRICS.  At 4.58 reach token check point only to be followed by frisking with none multitasking. Enter compartment number 10, and from 5 to 8.14 stay inside with some holding forth on political undercurrents that should not be a surprise. Those who were sent to compartments prior to 5, their gates open at 5.30 and probably before 7 they would have come out of temple as break darshan is from 7 to 7.45 with no room for rumours on bike. 

Reaching Sanctum Sanctorum (Bangaru Vakili)

When our gates open there is second layer of frisking with the young lot having the aura of invincibility to wade into pushing and shoving gallery known to have fascination for retail brand yoving. By the time I reach Sanctum Sanctorum (Bangaru Vakili) it is 9.18, and here I am overwhelmed by fleeting glimpse of Lord Govinda Lord Venkateswara and that sketch would stay for long perhaps for eon. Fill in pages next to Vayu Lord from 9.30 onwards. Huge collection of devotees savouring every moment, though getting to temple is no less than a tournament, grand and gracious is the bit spent in Bangaru Vakili, and I would take this temple tryst lapped by page conversation list. By the time I come out of temple it is 10.55, having understood this sacred place gives wings to righteous tribe.

This was a visit to Tirumala on the back of 11-day visit to Chennai, Kotagiri and Udhagamandalam, with earnest appeal coming from home quarters that I better visit the place which people of different faith chase. Tirumala has been in my daybook since July 1995, hope the visits swell with growth momentum enmeshed with a tale to tell.
