Interactions in national capital in October

Interactions in national capital in October

Interactions in national capital in the month of October brought home the message that there were fewer contacts between local and those hailing from other areas given their commitments to their daily chores. Meeting Ssaganka from Manipur who did his schooling from Samaritan Public School Manipur. Later he did his 12th and college from Moing College Manipur. He has done MBA from Lovely Professional University. For two years he has been staying in Delhi on a rent of rs9000 each month for a single room in Krishna Nagar near Safdarjung Enclave. He has had a mixed experience in Delhi. Met Surinder Batra from Noida who had come to Safdarjung Enclave to meet acupuncture doctor. Near Bhikaji Cama Place met Chaman a painter from Rajasthan. Met Mr Mohan a security guard in Africa Avenue hailing from Rajasthan whose daily shift made up of 12 hours.  Met a man from Jabon in Central Africa, the nation about which people have fewer clues. I told him the news channel beamed from Qatar extensively covered different parts of Africa.

When i had been to South Extension the other day met Mr Tashi from Tibet who had put on a face mask given the pollution which was always in a rising mode. I came across two girls from Arunachal Pradesh one of them went by the name Lima. They agreed with the view that fewer people in Delhi or in entire North India knew about different locales of Arunachal Pradesh. When i came across Mr Navjyoti from Assam what all he could narrate was about fewer contacts and fewer people hailing from his state in the national capital of Delhi. Came across Pradeep from Kerala and Bapu from Assam, both working in ayurvedic clinic in South Extension.  Came across Porcia a girl from Meghalaya while waiting for a public transport at Bhikaji Cama Place. Met Mr Ramesh Manchanda who has been living in Delhi for over 50 years. He has to put an extra effort to walk. Met Mr Mohammad Irfan from Bijnore.

Met Mr Tenzing from Mcleodganj who had come to the national capital with his family members. Met Ankit from Jharkhand taking coaching from Aakash Coaching Institute for Medical. The fee was around rs 100,000 for a coaching lasting 10 months.

Visiting Ayyappa temple
On first visit to Ayyappa Temple in R K Puram came across Mr P K Kailashnathan and Mr Ratnakar Nambiar from Kerala. On another day came across Mr Raman, Mr Ravinder and Mr Prabhakar who have been frequenting the Ayyappa temple for a long time. According to Mr Raman Ayyappa Temple was established in 1972 and relocated to the present site after 1975. Met Mr Mohammad Ansar and Shaheen in Safdarjung Enclave. Came across Mr Ranganath from Tamil Nadu who is expected to go to his home state by TN Express. He was impressed when i told him i have been to Kanchipuram and Udhagamandalam in Tamil Nadu.

The other day Talk to Al Jazeera programme had conversation with Mr Roosevelt of Dominica Republic where the hurricane had left agriculture and homes mostly destroyed. According to Mr Roosevelt, Dominica Republic was one of the few nations with local indigenous people and had second largest fresh water lake in the world. Forty five per cent of the country was protected by forest. "Historical facts and magnitude of hurricane would tell you about climate change."
It was time for the world community to provide all sort of assistance to people of Dominica Republic so that they could get on with their lives.  Dominica Republic post hurricane is a nation waiting for aid from different quarters.
