Hailing from the Northeast, trade fairs could be handy

The ride to University with interaction with a student from the Northeast  could not have come at a more appropriate time. It is time we begin to appreciate those who hail from far away areas and come to the national capital in search of education and employment. With a population touching close to 1.50 crore, if we include the entire NCR, it would easily translate to over 2 crore. THe student from manipur had taken an accommodation in the North Campus, with a room all to himself raising the hope that privacy and food preparing activity could be handled well.

There is a need to hold trade fairs across different parts of city, not on a grandeur scale, a show here and a show there would be fruitful. All the eight states of Northeast and even those hailing from Ladakh could well be showcasing their skills with an attempt to take premises on rent in nearby areas. Once the retail stores begin to have people from Northeast and Ladakh as part of the staff and even owning stores, things could change for better. If one has film festivals from these regions in small theatres with announcement about them coming in insertions that come along with daily paper, a better understanding could be achieved.

WE have mulitiplexes all across the city with no hint that single screen theatres would  ever be able to run their full course. THere is a need to have more single screens and more palatable food coming from canteens like the one run by IRCTC in University. THese attempts would make affordable the objective of taking food and taking entertainment which does not leave pockets with a hole. Simple and  long lasting setting that does not take away innocence should be stressed.
