AS the Capital gears itself for a Mega Mock Drill to be conducted on Feb 15, it is the drill that eluded the Capital for long and something that could not be postponed till eternity. This drill would essentially try to drill the residents to drain out the acts that lead to an upheaval and maintain an order that shows them that attempts they make to disappear and roar should not be more than feeble .

To protest against this drill and other such campaigns not short of shrill the auto and taxiwallahs have drilled themselves to the enormity of the task whereby for a day, Feb 28, they would spare the residents from digging deep into their pockets by staging no movement of any order. Though the mega mock drill is to last for an hour, from 11 to 12pm, its repercussions are being felt across the length and breadth of activities that have not been subjected to drill of any durability.

As stated by the authors who prepared the blueprint of the ad which appeared in papers of all elaboration, elaborate are the plans of the authorities to elaborately drill the residents. During an hour the residents visible and functioning in different centres of excellence in the capital would be diagnosed with ailments that shrouded their existence. THis hour where the authorities would actually be performing and getting paid as elaborately stated in the newspapers ads would see to it that non stage actors dare not perform. Essentially boiling down to the common man and his/her common pursuits where for the hour s/he ceases to exist for any attempt to seek movement by any definite mode of transport which normally digresses. So for the hour when different modes of transport would be allowed to get stranded and shiver, the occupants would be face to face with the occupational hazards of occupying them: They would be advised to deboard and a doctor on duty would be handy and courteous enough to run through the commuters-turned-commodities who deboarded and suggest suggestive remedies if the actual ailment has been diagnosed.

Discovery of the diagnosed ailments could actually lead them to drool over the doctor who in the first place discovered their very presence. Ailments that the authorities have been shouting for long but not scary enough to scare the residents. Historically established and clinically recorded are ailments like when residents step out, the first digression is instead of reaching the destination they desire and are destined they reach out to a place where they subject themselves to all forms of submission thanks to massage centres of mesmerisation and other hideouts and den. Flow to these centres of par excellence is so thick that it leads to long pile up on roads and those who fail to reach them resort to acts of retribution.

Second, the residents have the temerity to open mouth and fly once they step out. And this willingness on their part to give their tongue wheels of disproportionate nature leads to long feared dissonance. Abuse flows in plenty commensurate with the daily lessons they take in vocabulary coming close on the heels of opening their fly in areas that looked dry despite public convenience stores nearby. So to check this unchecked release of water and vocal chords, drill became essential to drill in the residents the need to abstain from acts of shame ton.

Other ailment that the doctor could well diagnose is the residents crying need to cry in their personal transport and not do that in a public boat. Authorities have been repeatedly suggesting to commuters to try the public transport and if they repeatedly try them they would be provided a corner to weep and whistle. Weep and whistle is the inducement that would be brought on table for residents who wish to travel.

So in the hour of remaining stranded and yet not strangulating the near and visible ones, this mega drill of domination would become a recurring feature to drill sense in the residents that norms are meant to be normally followed failing which normalcy would be hard to restore in a city that has seen some retributive silence and gore.

In mumbai the erection of mega block is an attempt to restore the confidence of local trains and there this form of stranded submission is tried during weekend. Here in the national capital the release of mega mock drill is during a day when strandedly stratified commodities make an attempt to move and thereby all hell breaks loose. The newspaper ads drill suggest that the Capital's readiness to fight natural disasters would be tested; in reality it would be the challenges emanating from the manmade cluster that have to be by and large adjusted. And this drill that won't demean and disrobe would see to it that most of those residing are declared deemed fit.
Let us hail the drill and the accompanying shrill as this first of its kind opportunity denizens of DElhi desired post dousing of fires in the political alley and civil belly. This drill would also attempt to desist those who try to mount on Delhi hill and try to have their fill.
As for water and power woes, the drill and who all would be dutiful adherents is yet to be spelled out in ads but whenever it happens there won't be dearth of those ready to bat.
