Taking a metro to central delhi

Taking a metro to central delhi

Taking a metro to central delhi was satisfying indeed as the tariff does not set ignition of minds towards greed. A metro posts a picture of sobriety and something that has followers with a shoestring budget.  Well there are not many  illustrations in the national capital to convey a middle path, what the authorities did in the past one-and- a- half decade was to raise malls and keep the fire burning for not that required big halls. Probably they want the public to come closer to the experience of have moolah and turn maverick as there aren't enough possibilities to make the populace realise the true value of being therapeutic.

First you set a new pay commission and declare with authority that it would be effective from such and such date. Not realising that the earlier pay commission and its recommendations are yet to be put into effect by a host of states. It is all a vicious circle; raise the pay in the hope of inviting more with sizeable brains to the govt tray as the take home offered by private sector is something they can't match but at least set the ball rolling for intake of a new batch. To meet the financial outgo get into effect a series of tax that should not be low. And if the tax kitty is not swelling then release a series of ads that those who don't pay won't don a winnable hat. Giving a level playing field they invite private and perennial-turned-to-a-new asset players to open malls and meeting ponds no matter the place where the new structure is coming up and reverberations that it would set. Already the ring road in the national capital is choc a bloc and getting a mall next to it is a decision that would not be a hit.When the new arrangement took office in the national capital 15 years ago we were barely into seven years of truly liberating and truly awaiting liberalsation.

Those in power had a field day fielding all questions on flyovers and cell phone covers. Those at the helm truly believed that once a series of flyovers, big structures and big creatures are raised, nothing would stop the capital to ever get in the grip of grey. Vehicles multiplied, desires mollified and populace electrified with a series of malls and those on its rolls, the govt believed simplicity was something arduous to  maintain so why not give a free hand to populace and those who have to get in every season a personality guest. Winds of liberalisation followed wings of imagination, dishing out a cell and not dimming a bell was the 24X7 gell.

Water was a scarcity and still happens to be, those with right connections got a windfall, those sticking to a schedule had to make every alternate day a call. Power distribution went into private hands with no thorough checking of accounts. If distribution leak had been checked much brouhaha over power tariff would not have erupt. The fifteen fonts on which the decision makers tripped is not hard to figure out, had things rolled against a systematic template each individual would have realised his or her clout.Those with sizeable purse don't mind paying unimaginable pays to their home hulks resulting in disorientation in pay scale and not a success in looking for domestic staff which we can hail.
