Writing from a cyber cafe

As i begin to write from a cyber cafe that separates men from those plying on a highway, grand announcement has been made of grandest new year celebration ever which won't be on a river. The toll tax to this celebration turning to a centenary ranges between a little over 11000 rs and a little less than 3000 rs. Book now and get assured as this event would have a never ending night roar. Grand coating is being given to the night looking formidable and not to be forgotten. String of similar grand announcements laying invitation to those willing to take bath adjoining a wash basin would come out as centrespread in a series of publications as liberalisation opened doors to this form of grandeur ammunition. As money floating around the economy is in plenty, those willing to gain an entry won't mind paying the astronomical sum as among offerings would be rum. Those who wish to free themselves having already been frisked several times would perform best to their capacity as such occasions are in brevity.

THe spectacle of 2014 polls too looks grand given the grunt that one is witness to and grudge that one comes across. Not a single day passes where we are assured of the elections that are to take place and formidable candidates who would be part of the race. In the interactions across national capital, few show the will to discuss elections and who all would be evicted/elevated given their desire to not get themselves rated. Elections would come and grow, growing in stature would be those who finished last as they have the potential to perform well in the next poll blast. Retribution would be least desired and promises that can be kept would be something to fire.

Approaching Kashmere Gate and other parts of central delhi, i find the populace with a warmth that suggests they get up early. With winters having set in , the fog making appearance for days together, the day the sun shines, setting out is something that one should keep in mind. Sitting in a park or taking a brisk walk is truly uplifting given each passing hour and mood swings. Mood swings are more in winters than in summers and one should hope few would bat for winter drummer. Keeping a tab on what you eat and whom you greet is something to watch out for in winter as it is a three month calendar.   A smooth cruise is a narrative not out of reach provided one does not go beyond norms and in effect breach.
