Visiting University in Mudrika
It was a Friday when i decided to take a bus ride that would take me to Africa Avenue and beyond. A wait for over 20 minutes did not yield the desired result, leaving me with the option of taking a bus from other side of Naurojini Nagar. Sighting a mudrika going towards Wazirpur, the indecision that was rampant till the other minute was gone and i took this bus. About 10 days ago the wait for over one hour in Lajpat Nagar bus stand for the same mudrika going towards Kashmiri Gate was taxing with no success.
This time round inside the bus, the collection was not huge and those collected were mired in their thoughts. Some could be seen carrying newspapers, some comfortable to carry a luggage closely monitoring the unfolding minute when they could grab a seat. In less than 10 minutes i got a seat with a surety the conversation i was going to engage with those in the vicinity would be enduring given the long ride. Soon a
student from the northeast boarded and took the seat opposite mine. I was on a seat opposite to the direction the bus was moving hoping whenever an opportunity comes i would take a seat in the direction of the bus movement.
The student introduced himself hailing from Manipur pursuing graduation from the South Campus. Having taken a PG in the North Campus, the student did not find it taxing to commit himself to up and down journey almost five days a week. The four year course was something he did not find it a drain despite i reminding him that papers were full of stories on what course material had been recommended for the first year and how it looked to be a bit of unnecessary inclusion.
THe ability of some in the city to not take on board those hailing from the northeast was one among different subjects we delved in hoping the sensitisation drive across the city and country would be handy. AS we broached the subject of agitation and assimilation, i for one, found it fit to raise the agitation before the Parade and that too in the vicinity of the venue. Revolution was something he raised as a way to check the deterioration and i hurled the issue of peace and patience as an avenue to bring the long-needed assimilation. Both agreed the local area fund for representatives was a big drain on our resources and time had come to abandon it.
Hoping to complete graduation and masters from Delhi University, the Manipur Student revealed that he had dropped one year in his home state before his father decided to send him to Delhi. His brother is an SDO in Manipur and he is truly fixated to the idea of revolution than committing himself to a job like his brother.
It was a green colour bus which took one hour and forty five minutes to reach the university which has an universal appeal to take those coming from far away sides into its creative kitty.
THere were scores of battery operated rickshaws in the university area giving the opportunity to raise the need for such battery operated rickshaws in Lodhi Road. With a string of colleges and conference meets which has been organised for ages, the need to bring them in is of paramount importance. As for stores across national capital if a handful of them could be run by people coming from far away territories some change could come for good. INstead of having debates on who should run when the new state can have fun, some energy should be devoted towards these issues.
As for the mudrika ride, it was comfortable to the point where you were seated for almost the entire duration. Duration during which no one sought any donation and mudrika bus service with a clean template was one among city's fewer inventions.
