Taking meals from University Plaza

Having reached University via mudrika starting from Naurojini Nagar at quarter past two reaching the North Campus around four in the evening, the ride was not routine as it came after a long interval. The ride was satisfying enough to raise the issue of those hailing from the northeast and how we could make them feel at  home. The IRCTC canteen at University Plaza  was handy for serving veg meals for Rs 50. It was elaborate indeed with those in the premises taking meals fewer given the rush hours that were behind us. As one took tea from the same cafeteria, one could shift the gauge towards tourists destinations marked by announcements on different boards hanging to walls.


Here i came across Gulzar from Pulwama and Danish from Sopore, both in Kashmir, who too were taking tea geared to prepare for civil services tests. The change in test pattern had raised a clamour for increasing the test attempts which at present stood at four and also giving a relaxation on age limit. Berries withering faster than apples figured in the discussions with a mention of slew of mineral water plants in Baramullah. As i left the University Plaza i could see more than handful of students hailing from other states bound by the routine to take tea from nearby vendors. The ride back was accomplished on a metro coming with maintenance of its stock and premises a mixed one. Premises inside the stations have to be tidy clean, efforts are successful to a large extent with passengers making an effort to see they don't add to the litter.

It was another day with another ride on a bus to ambedkar terminal came across yash from kendriya vidyalaya  who did not mind to spell the fees and forthcoming spirit of KVs.  It was the second ride to Ambedkar Nagar Terminal aboard a cluster bus service with Brij Pal, someone in school, taking the responsibility of a conductor.  Brij Pal was in his elements away from the alluring menu to raise hysteria and risk bus travelling. THose at the helm of bus driving, both in DTC and in cluster service, have to be patient to reach the destination, the orderly manner of doing four to five rounds should be done away with if it means speeding and risking bus driving.Bus driving should be with utmost attention and with patience. Do away with the established methodology of engaging in four to five rounds as it only enhances the disturbing movement on roads. Be patient and be careful.
