Other interactions in national capital

Other interactions in national capital

Meeting Aditya Barik on a Wednesday brought forward the tale that he hailed from East Midnapore in West Bengal and during the stay in national capital had switched occupations. Having started a tailoring shop, the switch had been made to run a general store with a rent for home and shop coming as rs 5000 and rs 10,000 as the small space had more willing clients to pay a sizeable lot. From a sizeable lot it was time to look at standard meals that took me to Kerala House that has over the years remained tidy and neat. The canteen inside gets you a standard meals for rs 50, with no dwindling display of affection and creativity. The meals come with rice, sambhar and two sets of vegetables with payasam  in no less sum. Stepping after meals, the next destination was Chandni Chowk. Here one plate jalebi comes for rs 50, with a belief that no one wants to have less than a plate. Perhaps a jalebi of a smaller size costing rs 20 to 25 could be handy for those who prefer to have  a small serving. For the residents of Chandni Chowk and nearby a smaller jalebi with a lower price tag won't be a bad idea.

AS for another day, as for those playing with smartphone and that too when they had barely stepped into teen zone, the student studying in standard x declared with no hesitation that by the time they are in senior classes, they prefer to handle smartphones even if it means they can't handle reading glasses. Students of Navyug School and those learning other tools have a sizeable appetite to show affection for smartphone no matter where they roam and whom they phone. Tales from Capital illustrate a teen with a smartphone and security guards posted in different atms tasked to secure the same for 8 to 12 hours, something that gives the much- needed livelihood to live a life from their heart. But there aren't dearth of individuals driving on capital  roads speaking on their cell as an interruption of any scale would not make them bold. DRiving and cell talks turning to dreaming are two endeavours that are to be pursued in different time span as only then one can get a fair idea of where to get little traffic and no jam.
