Visiting a store, visiting Central Delhi
Rides across national capital have taken me to places as near as Deer Park to places as far away as Ambedkar Terminal. Rides have as usual been supported by a public transport that does not border on eccentricity. If it was the cyber cafe functioning near Jangpura from a basement the experience had a tale to tell. Employees were as cooperative as one could hope with the seniormost deciding on what to charge and from where to start. A gentleman came with a request of an assignment to be completed, hoping the entire exercise would cost him a little under 400rs, perhaps the correct estimate made at that time. THe seniormost staff member raised the demand to 1200rs, with whoever watching the entire episode unfold agreeing this was not the right estimate. Perhaps the seniormost member should realise that a known accretion of half to one per cent or four to five percent is acceptable. Something beyond that won't get the right clients and those visiting your shop would feel disheartened. Perhaps this and other reminders can be set in motion by shop owners with the belief that customers and acceptable cash content go hand in hand. Perhaps shop owners across middle class colonies have to revisit their template of whether a broad margin with a broad aggression is something they would cheer all along.
WE look for a broad margin. Nothing wrong with that intent. But it should be within acceptable limits. There are transgressions and inhospitable aggression. To see that everything would be perfect and plausible is to live in an illusionary world. Illusions we all have but for how long we can ride on them and get respite is something hard to explain. Meeting Hukamchand from Shiv Mohan Band brought the challenges that he had faced since his childhood. Perhaps joining the band when he was barely 14, the commitment to stay with the band and raise eight kids has been no small feat. Hailing from Rohtak, of his six sons, only one son resides in the national capital. Tilling the agricultural land has been the mainstay, with Rohtak having experienced not-the-truckload-but-the-trimhope liberalisation, most family members have preferred to stay in Rohtak. Hukamchand has approached 80s as revealed by him and the need to get himself going, he sticks to this routine.
Meeting Upen Lama from Darjeeling, the agitational fever the city was in grips has been relegated to a background with a living grouse that independent platform won't come but that should not desist the residents from living a normal life. With peace having returned to Darjeeling and roundabout, the likes of Upen Lama could afford to visit national capital which has no doubt its share of everyday battle.
National Capital with its share of trial and tribulations plays host to a magical migrant population mirroring the aspirations of those who wish to earn their livelihood. So many in large numbers get employment entangled with the belief that a rude push here and a wild chase there would be something they would have to live with. Sensitising yourself and the staff that works for you is of utmost importance. Never ever create a salary clamour that starts the never ending claim of getting an accretion and not settling for present cessation. WE tend to employ a lot of staff hoping they would be filling for those who absented themselves and thus giving them the opportunity to work from their heart. It is hard to figure out the replacement and developing results.
Lal Sahi market which is just before Central market has a good number of stores. Just as you enter there is an urinal on the left perhaps not visited by safaikaramcharis in jest. THe place where you pee is not on the tile slab but on the ground which has ample collection of urine separated and stuck.For months if not years the fears that an attempt to urinate in the tile slab may land you in the urine compound makes the public to pee outside. A cleanliness course correction is mandatory for such pee centres across city and country. If pee outlet has been created let it not reach a stage where it gets berated. Something that has been raised should not be treated to be flouted, we know there are urinals for men and fewer for women. If those who are on a short fuse enter such outlets they can be a big nuisance.
Visiting Central Delhi the other day brought forward the agenda of tea and tranquility. Searching for food, which was difficult to get, the tea conundrum was nowhere to be seen with the tea as desired getting a signal of green. A Baird Lane has a bag of choices with no dearth of surprises.
