Interactions in the national capital of Delhi in February, March

Multitasking in Delhi; meeting Mr Robinson from Delhi University; Mr Ozan from Turkey

Looking for Mr Uttam Roy the other day at snack point adjacent to Sarojini Nagar Railway Station i was told he would report to work in another hour or so. At the reservation centre i happen to meet Mr Jitender Singh. Doing multitasking in Tripura Bhawan, Air Force station and Tripura kitchenette from morning to late in the night it was this hectic schedule that kept him going in the city where cost of living is high but any day less than Mumbai. He was not alone in the city with one of the best civic amenities where he or she was required to put his/her best to different occupations the entire day. Meet Mr R K Das from Darbhanga in Bihar state working in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) who had come to the reservation centre to cancel the tickets and get the requisite refund. Meet Mr Utpal from Assam. Meet Mr Damer from Assam as well. At the reservation centre the display board showed a missed call is better than a missed journey. Cancellation/ refund rules board was seen tagged to the wall.  While coming out of the reservation centre and waiting for the bus came across Mr Trishen Lal who has been staying in railway quarters in Sarojini Nagar. Meet Mr R C Verma who has stayed in Sarojini Nagar for a long time in the past.

Mr Ismail from Afghanistan in Hindu College

Waterman Mr Jai Prakash Rai from Bihar i came across at Dhaula Kuan. From his water cart all he was able to manage was Rs 2 for every glass of water sold. Meet Mr Anton from Russia with family members where i spoke to them about Russian polls and the clear advantage the incumbent has. Meet Mr Ismail from Afghanistan. Doing computer science from Hindu College in Delhi University, i told him about Kandahar perhaps more famous for hijacked boots in the late 90s when an Indian Airlines plane was parked there. It is the second largest city in Afghanistan. Meet Mr Henry while taking a metro ride. He has his roots in China and at present staying in Canada. Talks about Ice Hockey and Toronto Vs Minneapolis teams or Toronto Minneapolis team, it is hard to figure out. Mr Henry along with another member is headed towards Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh state swayed by the attractions the city offers round the year. Perhaps security should be upgraded to the last mile for securing different structures in the city.

Mr Naseer going to Kuwait; Mr Pervez Alam going to Saudi Arabia; Ms Janvi from KMC

At the New Delhi airport meet Mr Naseer Ahmad who is headed to Kuwait. Meet Mr Pervez Alam from Nalanda going to Saudi Arabia. He is a part of a group hailing from Nawada and other places in Bihar. For eight days they would be staying in Mecca and and for seven days they would be in Madina. The entire package which includes air travel, stay in hotels and food comes to about Rs 70,000 each person. Meet Mr Robinson who has done Chemistry Honours from St Stephen's College in Delhi University and at present taking coaching for civil services. Meet Ms Janvi pursuing graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College . She scored 96 per cent in class 12th and that amply demonstrated how difficult it was to secure admission in different colleges of Delhi University where close to 50 per cent seats are taken by students from across country. Rest is made up by students from Delhi. Never ever make an attempt to reserve seats for Delhi students as undergraduates flock from all parts of India.

Reaching New Delhi railway station

After reaching New Delhi Station on a certain day i came across a slew of announcements being made for EMUs,  more popularly labelled as the local trains that cover the outskirts of Delhi.  As for other trains, Kashi Vishwanath Express expected any moment. Karnataka Express from Bengaluru city coming on Platform 6. The number of vacant berths ( over 380 on various days) in Bangalore Rajdhani emanating from Bengaluru shows the shrinking base of passengers who wish to travel by Rajdhani and preferring to take a flight which comes if not dirt cheap at least somewhat affordable if booked in advance. Telangana Express from Hyderabad behind schedule by 90 minutes. Howrah Rajdhani to come on Platform 11. Here i meet Ms Anny from Nagaland a state in the north east India. Poorva Express from Howrah in West Bengal state to come at 10.05 on PF 7. Jhelum Express to Pune to arrive on PF 4. Kalka Shatabdi to come on PF 7. Vaishali Express from Barauni coming on PF 8. The platforms 15 and 14 at the New Delhi Railway Station were fairly clean . Meet Mr Chahal pursuing M.B.B.S. from Kanpur. He hails from Haryana state. Meet Mr Sangay from Arunachal Pradesh. Pursuing graduation from Dyal Singh College. Meet Mr Thinley from Ladakh and thoughts are on how little presence they have in the national capital of Delhi; some day would probably see a horde of them flocking to the city.

Meeting monks travelling to South India; broach the issue of Mr Chris Patten

Meet Mr Ashok Kumar who appeared for Combined Higher Secondary Level exam conducted by Staff Selection Commission(SSC). Here one needs to note SSC needs to pull up its socks and get the tests conducted with no glitches.  It should be in a position to declare results of students on time and offer joining letters. Those who wrote exams two to three years ago the results have not been declared. Mr Ashok Kumar hails from Haryana. The other day while visiting Nizamuddin railway station came across monks Mr Chopel, Mr Thupel, Mr Kalden and Mr Sanmten travelling to South India. Some coaches of the train departing from Delhi 12780 Goa Express  (Train Engine number 30395) go to Hubli in Karnataka as well. Here i meet Mr Suhayb Khan from Somalia who is 6 feet 5 inches tall and would be travelling by the same train. Meet cycle rickshaw man Mr Rohit who drops me at Jangpura railway station.

There is an ad in Jangpura metro station. Cuisine that's love at first bite. Telangana Tourism. While taking a metro ride came across Mr Marc of Britain working in a Dutch Company in Gurgaon. He has been staying in India since October 2017. Parents Mr Jeff and Ms Tracey have come from Britain for two weeks and they all would be travelling to Agra and Jaipur. When i broach the issue of Mr Chris Patten, who happened to be the last Governor of Honk Kong until its transfer of sovereignty to China, in June 1997, the parents are able to recall and not their son. Pang Ding-hong has been Mr Patten's Chinese name. Our best wishes to Mr Chris Patten as well as residents of Hong Kong.

Meet Mr Mohammad Shafiq doing MCom from Jamia Hamdard. He has done graduation from the same institute. Meet Mr Rishab pursuing MBA from a business school in Gurgaon. He has done graduation from Christian College in Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh state.
While waiting for public transport came across a large hoarding of Delhi's first world trade centre Nauroji Nagar in South Delhi. Hard to guess how many sections would get the requisite business associates.The low rise government flats were still a better option. Meet Mr Salem from Mizoram pursuing automobile engineering from Sri Venkateswara College. Meet a man hailing from minority section settled in Rajasthan state.

Meet Mr Ozan from Turkey. We talk about underwater tunnel that connects two cities in Istanbul. It is none other than Euriasia tunnel. Istanbul is 550 kms from Ankara. Mr Ozan is a mechanical engineer in Turkey. Took Gulf Air flight from Istanbul to Bahrain and another flight from Bahrain to Delhi. The return fare is $450.   I spoke about one member of my family having been to Turkey in the 80s. We spoke about Turkey President Mr Erdogan's visit to Senegal that is one among four African countries he visited. The other countries he touched base were Algeria, Mauritania and Mali. Countries in Africa which nations from India to Turkmenistan seek to reach out to and have a steady and lasting impact.
It is time security is upgraded for leaders from Russia to leaders across atlantic.

Compassion template needs to be redefined in parts of India

Meet Mr Kevin from Holland. From Holland he went to Japan, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and at present he is in India. In India Mr Kevin has visited Agra, Jaipur, Jaisalmer. He would be going to Rishikesh. He is expected to fly to Nepal later and from there he would take a flight to Holland. According to Mr Kevin the Sri Lankan hospitality was great and places he visited including Kandy the people had their heart overflowing with love. Patches of the same can be spotted at fewer places in India but not in the entire country. Compassion is missing in some parts of India he says and there is a need to revisit the tourist template belted out quite often with less than noticeable changes here and there. He said Jaisalmer was hot and he made it a point to visit the Jaisalmer Fort the one which i visited way back in 2014. Mr Kevin has been to Cambodia as well which can act act as magnet to get investments if there are free and fair elections. The Dutch news channel NOS can be watched online he tells me when i tell him about TV5Monde and DW channels beamed from France and Berlin which occasionally i watch.

It was Mr Ram Jeswani who gave me a lift from Relief Road to Ahmedabad railway station as i was amidst a traffic jam that refuse to budge and give space and was carrying on its own pace. Mr Jeswani  has a store in Modi Compound, Opp. Sai Flats Sajjpur Tower, Ahmedabad.
The ride from Ahmedabad to Delhi Cantt was accomplished in Ahmedabad Rajdhani leaving a little after 5 pm and reaching Delhi Cantt a little after 7 in the morning.
Meeting Mr Kada bhai and Mr Baluba, both associated with tea centres in Okha near Dwarkadish, was a great experience. Interactions with them showed how simple the people were and how they readily agreed to greet anyone who passed through their stores.  Their heart overflowing with love and the Gujarat State happening to be the much prized investment hub. Apart from Somnath Temple the Bhabha restaurant in Somnath was another place to flock to.

Took metro at 1.10 from Jahangirpuri. Took metro from Vishwavidyalaya at 1.27. Meet Mr Ali from Tanzania. He has studied in Chennai and Mumbai and he does not lose an opportunity to say that he knows India quite well. He is a doctor. According to him,  to go to Tanzania one has to go to Oman and from there take another flight to Tanzania. Al Jazeera the channel and the coverage of Africa the continent came up for talks with him.

At present Ms Ruha is taking coaching from Jamia Millia Islamia for civil services. Lodging and coaching is free she has to pay only for mess charges. This benefit has been extended to those students belonging to minority section. It is a welcome move. This will be Ms Ruha's  third attempt at civil services.  Meet Mr Hitesh Yadav who has done graduation from Jamia. At present taking coaching for Combined Defence Services exam as well as civil services exam. His father happens to be in Delhi Police.

 Middlemen out!
Benefits direct into account
Implemented in 395 schemes

Meeting Mr Rahul Singh Negi, doing B Com from Aurobindo College in South Campus of Delhi University. Taking a bus to Badarpur at 11.45 am. Going past Fuelling India Larsen Toubro Advertisement. Meeting two students from Kendriya Vidyalaya Sector 2 R K Puram. Both students are in class 12th in discipline as constructive as commerce. For Science stream the fee is Rs 3,000 for three months; for commerce stream Rs 2700 is fee for three months. The bus goes past S N Market, Mukherjee Public School, Come Rain or Shine Awesome Assam advertisement, S N Police Station, West Kidwai Nagar, AIIMS, Kalyan Jewellers ad. Goes past South Extension at 12.03 pm. Here traffic is heavy.  Notice a bike bearing Karnataka number KA- 01 EE- 1472.

Delhi Metro fare should be in the slab of Rs 10, 20 and 30
We are in August Kranti Marg at 12.10. It turns left to Siri Fort Road Goes past Kamala Nehru College, Golden Jubilee Year Gargi College. Next comes Siri Fort Crossing, turns right. Half km long vehicle queue. Spot Green corridor. People selling different wares at traffic light to earn a livelihood. They need to be encouraged. We are in Josef Titoo Marg, Birla Vidya Niketan at 12.31. In the bus meet a man from Balasore in Orissa state. We are in Mehrauli-Badarpur Road at 12.34. Goes past Basist Complex, G - Block Dakshinpuri at 12.38. There is an ad of teen saal mein hua kamal (In three years our record speaks for itself). Advertisement of Delhi Govt completing three years in office. Perhaps the Union Government in consultation with Delhi State Government should keep the metro fare fixed at Rs 10, 20 and 30 slab. The opening of metro line linking North Campus and South Campus should be without glitches and highest fare fixed at 30 rs. Bringing this mode of transport to the common man should be the priority instead of letting only fewer sections take advantage of it.
Goes past BSF Area, New Delhi Institute of Management, ITBP Tigri Camp, Jamia Hamdard at 12.42.  Air Force Station Tughlaqabad 12.45, goes past Make Delhi traffic free switch to public transport advertisement. Perhaps doing away with big cars should be the first step towards lifting Delhi the city out of traffic rigmarole.  The bus breaks down. We all change to another bus. Prahladpur comes at 1 pm, Badarpur at 1.05. Here i meet Mr Sanoj Kumar a water man from Supaul in Bihar. Perhaps fielding a man from minority section in Araria constituency in Bihar could have given hope to right wing alliance. One need to take the minorities in confidence if one has to really do well at the hustings. At another level Secretary of State Mr Rex Tillerson should have been allowed to continue in office.

Took potato patties from Fast track snack point near Badarpur metro station. Meet Mr Prem Singh.
As you enter the metro station you come across "For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited editions". Advertise here.
Ad in Badarpur metro station. Don't be in rat race. Drive with grace.
There is another ad. Walk into a different era at every turn in UNESCO heritage city, Ahmedabad featuring Mr Amitabh Bachchan. He endorsing the tourist spots in Gujarat has brought windfall to the state. A state which one relishes to travel and discover.
Took metro from Badarpur at 1.23. Goes past Tughlaqabad metro station. Took metro from Mohan Estate at 1.43. Goes past Sarita Vihar, Jasola, Okhla, Govindpuri, Kalkaji Mandir, Nehru Place. In Nehru Place there is a structure that has a close resemblance to Jagannath Puri Temple. Reach Central Secretariat at 2.08. Go all the way to ITO station at 2.18.  Come back to Central Secretariat station at 2.27pm.

Meeting a family from Italy
Meet a family from Italy comprising Mr Rodrigo, Ms Sara, Mr Onorio, Mr Riccardo and Ms Giancarla. They flew from Bologna to Rome and from Rome to New Delhi. Mr Rodrigo is a civil engineer in Italy. They  have been to Udaipur, Agra and Jaipur and flying in a day or two to Italy. Economy in Italy and baby steps it is taking to recover the lost ground do figure in the conversation. Meet three students. Mr Mayank Agarwal doing a course in airlines hailing from Meerut, Mr Archit doing a correspondence course from Delhi University and Ms Manni who has done graduation from Bhubaneswar. Meet Mr Mayur who is taking a note from his tablet. Meet Mr Sean from New York State. He has been to Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Already spent six and a half weeks in India.
The rides to Wazirpur and Badarpur were flanked by optimum use of public transport and face to face interaction with people from different spheres.

Meeting people from Kashmir
While going towards Rajokri i happen to meet Mr Vijay Rautela who hails from Uttarakhand state in India. He says people from Uttarakhand are holding important positions in Centre and States.  In Shiv murti i happen to meet Mr Balmiki Pandey. While returning from Shiv Murti Rajokri i happen to meet Mr Jien from Nagaland. Mr Jien was keen to know whether i had been to the North East. He said one should visit the North East to experience different flavours of India. Meet Mr Shravan from Assam. In the metro ride i happen to meet Mr J Chakma and Mr Bidoo Chakma, both from Tripura. The decisive verdict in the state of Tripura is what we discuss with the right wing party romping home with a good margin. The Left has still managed a vote share of over 40 per cent despite a complete rout at the polls. Perhaps it will take years turning to decades for Left to gain gain power in the State if the right wing party provides good governance without hurting the sentiments of any section. In the metro ride i happen to meet  some people from Kashmir who were here to appear for interview in APCO Infrastructure Limited. Some among them happen to be Mr Bilal Hussain Shah from Anantnag which is 55 kms from Srinagar, Mr Mohammad Ashraf Sheikh from Baramullah and Mr Ashiq Hussain Para from Sopian.

Meeting Mr Nainwal and Mr Aditya
I also happen to meet Mr Prakash Nainwal who has done Msc from NIT Warangal and preparing for CSIR exam/ Gate exam to become eligible to pursue PhD from  IIT. Mr Nainwal spoke how people in Delhi were not able to place Warangal in Telangana. There is Mr Utkarsh Aditya from Buxar who has done 10+2 from Hyderabad and at present pursuing law from Jindal Institute in Sonepat. One has to clear LSAT exam to become eligible for scholarship. What i could understand from the conversation was he was eligible for scholarship between 30 to 40 per cent.

Meeting Ms Iqra and other girls from minority section
Meet Ms Iqra and other girls hailing from minority section. I tell them about Ms Ruha who has been taking coaching for civil services from Jamia Millia Islamia. I tell the girls i have high regards for people from the minorities. Meet three boys from Tibet working in Berkos restaurant in Connaught place serving Chinese and Thai food. They say they can visit Tibet on a tourist visa but that too is a risky proposition.  A time would come when Tibet would have to  be given some form of democracy as investments would start pouring in and that would raise large number of people from poverty levels which is quite high in the area. Also happen to meet Mr Saddam, Mr Ibrahim, Mr Raza, Mr Arif, Mr Haider all hailing from Pali in Rajasthan State. They were visiting New Delhi and had gone to Meena Bazar in Jama Masjid area of Delhi. 

Heavy rush in AIIMS and Safdarjung hospitals; Mr Ananta from West Bengal told to come after one month
It was on a Monday i decided to visit Gopinath Bazar in Delhi Cantt. While going towards Nauroji Nagar bus stand i happen to meet Mr Ananta Baidya from West Bengal. He has burning sensation in his stomach  and has health issues for which he visited Safdarjung hospital and All India Institute of  Medical Sciences (AIIMS). In AIIMS he was told to come after one month. In both the hospitals there was heavy rush and that is a perfect ground for Delhi to have another AIIMS. Take bus number 724 at 12.30 Reach Dhaula Kuan at 12.45. Take bus number 740 at 12.50. Going past Delhi Cantonment Board welcomes you. We serve for better civic life. Deboard at Garrison Engineer  west Delhi Cantt which has Gopinath Bazar in its vicinity. Visit Aggarwal Sweets and from Baker's Bite have veg patty which is something to relish. At the tea stall run by Mr Amar Singh the tea is great. At Brij Lal Dua Marg wait for the bus that would take me to New Delhi Railway Station. Take a bus to Dhaula Kuan and from there take another bus to Jhandewalan metro station. Visit Hanuman Temple which has a Hanuman statue fairly long. Take metro from there and on the way meet Mr Ken and Mrs Bella Ken who are from Nigeria. In the metro ride i come across two girls from Mizoram a state in the north east. The discussion with them can hardly take place as they are in no mood to speak and spell.

While visiting a private bank in Deer Park in Safdarjung Enclave happen to meet Mr Lal Singh a parking attendant. At the counter in the bank there was a message please count and check your notes before leaving the counter. Any claim made thereafter will not be entertained. The footfall that this bank has on occasions is fairly less. In St. Thomas Church opposite Safdarjung Enclave there is a notice board. New Delhi Young Men's Christian Association organising Tribal Festival on February 18. While coming from bank i happen to meet Mr Raghu from Tamil Nadu state. Meet Mr Gurung from Darjeeling. Meet Mr Kenan Sarangi studying in Springdales School in Dhaula Kuan and he hails from Orissa state. At Bhikaji Cama Place meet Mr Naresh Valecha and Mr Aneerodh who do the necessary formating to my laptop. Meet Mr Sanmukh.

Meet Mr Kasar from Manipur taking coaching for SSC exams.Meet Mr Humayun from Dwarka in Safdarjung Enclave, Mr Bhishambar Das from Gwalior. Meet Mr Vijender and Mr Yohan from Manipur studying in a school in New Delhi. Happen to meet Mr Sartaj who is channel partner of Tata Motors in Anantnag in Kashmir in India. He has come with his family to visit Delhi and its tourist spots. The DGCA coming heavily on airlines with non functional engines is a right move as safety of passengers should be the prime consideration. Perhaps flights emanating from Hong Kong and Singapore airports should set a new benchmark when it comes to securing the premises and frisking of passengers is concerned.

Plastics take years to break down in environment
I had the opportunity to watch Loafer movie on Gemini TV on Feb 18, Jomonte Suviseshangal on Mazhavil Manorama on Feb 18, Mani Paya Tamil song on DD Podhigai channel. Oorai Suttri Paakkalam that too on DD Podhigai. Al Jazeera channel had a story on plastic contamination. Plastic contamination extends to worldwide tap water supplies. Seventy five per cent of ocean fish contain  plastics in their stomach. Eight million tonnes of plastic is dumped in oceans every year. Plastics can take hundreds of years to break down in environment. The same channel had a story on Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India gas pipeline scheduled to be completed by 2020. How many investors it would be able to rope in is yet to figure out. In Kuyil Thoppu aired on DD Podhigai there were different singers like Dhni, Raja, Mega, Chandni and Nava. Meet Mr Shaminuddin the automan.
In all the interactions and the rides across National Capital of Delhi gave a sense that India is large sporting a fabric that weans people from different territories and could very well throw a fractured mandate at the hustings which would give way to wannabe Queens and Kings. The newspapers in the capital splashed with ads on cars and caretakers shows the traffic and the alarming rise of speedbreakers. Driving with grace is least seen; driving in haste is the radiating theme. As TV news channels across country try to figure out polls and pulse there would be parties who would try to be away from a position of sulk. Parties would battle it out at the hustings even in the backdrop of a budget that is shoestring.

Removing Mr Rex Tillerson isn't a wise move

Removing Mr Rex Tillerson wasn't a wise move. Perhaps the "Man from Washington" wants to run administration on his whims and fancies. By the time we are in 2020 the slew of changes would be phenomenal and it would be highly unfortunate to see men/women of integrity being replaced as they don't fit into his ideological construct.

International Women's Day: Ode to Women

International Women's Day: Ode to Women

March 8 is International Women's Day when women across strata
need to bloom and have their say.

A malnourished girl child is the first step to shame. They need to be fed well and
raised in a secured environment that should be the aim.

Discrimination between brothers and sisters should be halted at very first stage.
They should be meted out a fair treatment and that shouldn't mirror the existence of a cage.

Increasing presence across layers of governance would be one way of hailing this tribe
who have a disdain to the very idea of sharing or giving bribe.

For one women need to have ease of travelling. For this convenience points across
cities and towns would be a prudent move and nothing to stop their march on foot.

Respect and no reservation should be the guiding pole
Hailing their endeavours when they are truly on a roll.

They are on a roll, they are dignified
they are omnipresent and they have truly arrived.

The lump sum share they don't have in banks and businesses is something to brood
the ever stagnant share in services could be quite crude.

Women for one have every right to access education and health
and plan a career that has its share of innovation and wealth.

Pandering to the whims and fancies of bosses is something they least desire
pandering to the mood swings of their better halves is a proposition that has few buyers.

They are determined to carry on in places as varied as Paris and Pyongyang
they are destined to hit chartbusters considering their creation and song.

A healthy diet and brisk walk would keep them in good shape
a diet freed from oil and meat would be great.

Mandatory it would be for them to chase their dreams
Respect from different quarters should begin even when they are in their teens.

From Middle East to Middle Europe they are one and same
From Missouri to Massachusetts  they are truly in the game.

They have a longing to travel to far and distant places
Even with shoestring budget they have up their sleeves some aces.

It is for US Senate and House of Representative to give them honour they deserve
Perhaps the North Korean tangle could get resolved if their emotions don't ebb.

China for one would see a large contingent of women join workforce
Perhaps a day would come when anti-corruption watchdog body and President could be a woman with a heart of rose.

From Nathdwara to Nigeria they have a well defined territory and area
From Tokyo to Thiruvanthapuram they are truly in Asia

They are here to stay and they are here to pray
they mean a lot to the world which has 50 per cent men turning grey.

The plane they pilot the ship they chart and car they drive
shows their true persona and moments when they thrive.

If not in Lower House in Upper House in India 33 per cent of seats are for them
post this decision the discussion and debate could display their knowledge in ton.

Large car and large caravan they least desire
even in crowded template they have enough ambition to fire.

Challenges they face; imponderables they put up with is all part of day to day existence
where they share space with boys who are out and out truly awakened gents.

From media to movies their imprint is large and wide
from PF office to provision store they are in no mood to fight.

Greying of them may happen over a period of time
even in times of grey and grunt they would retain their shine.

Internet boom that mainland China has seen in never-to-stop sheen
it is much to do with womenfolk who have sermons to quote.

As women from Asia to Australia to Middle East to Long America mesmerise us
their contribution as solo or leading a contingent would surprise us.

Spring would be in their steps, safety would be their credo

Construction of road and side drain at village Kanjhawala in North-West District, Delhi

Construction of road and side drain in  Kanjhawala village in North-West District, Delhi

The construction of road and side drain in  Kanjhawala village should be taken on a priority basis as it is leading to water logging leaving enough breeding ground for malaria and dengue outbreak. To go back to this project the executive engineer way back in 22/10/2016 had forwarded a scheme for the construction of road and side drain from Khasra No 142/286 to 142/296 in extended Lal Dora in  Kanjhawala village in Delhi. The SDM of the area was approached to know the status of the above project on May 3, 2017 but SDM was not available. Residents of the area are facing hardships and the Delhi Government is requested to get the said road and side drain constructed in Kanjhawala village to ameliorate the suffering of large number of people including senior citizens. The construction of the said road and side drain would help keep malaria and dengue at bay. Mr Kuldeep Bhardwaj a resident of the area could be contacted on 9868945594 as he would be able to point out the difficulties faced by a large number of people and what could be done to alleviate their suffering.

Sign up for Instagram as what has ceased to exist is a telegram

Sign up for Instagram as what has ceased to exist is a telegram

As she posted pictures on instagram it shows she has an endless following and never caught in a rigmarole called traffic jam.

Sign Up for Instagram because what has ceased to exist is the much believable telegram.
Sign Up for Instagram because only through that you can reach a stage of being calm.

As you sign for it you have to showcase pictures that saw you hit poles across world.
with the imagination that you would be eagerly seen and heard.

Pictures may run in hundreds; trickle turning to a flood.
pictures taken on spot and pictures taken with a lot.

Your imagination is running wild while pictures are being posted and filed.
Some would have hugged you; some would have teased you.
some would have played a prank and some would have been outright frank.

you are all by yourself some of the pictures give that sense.
some of the pics are with bonhomie radiating women and gents.

One pic has a sermon that goes as if it has been given from a territory that is urban.
Nothing is worth it if you aren't happy.
to reach that stage you have to secure your well managed kitty.

Moisturiser has so far been kind to you and to your skin
the more fresh you look without doing mandatory push ups in gym.

There are no dearth of pictures and positive vibes.
A world you have travelled that is fairly big and growing in size.
More postings would come in the coming months and years.
that would probably show Graw in unrelenting top gear with no fears.

That's one musketeer among the three posting heavy and here.
as for the rest of the two musketeers pictures are not to be found and are rare.

Instagram is a beautiful platform to post and pose.
there aren't any pictures showing you with a rose.

Mornings would begin with news you push and paste.
evenings wind up with crowd you chase.

Wazirpur pictures are to be least found and discovered.
as woman from that belt SHIVtag has at her disposal the entire world.

After Graw, Ka Se and ATM are vying for that honour.
hope they have pictures other than being in a corner.

Instagram gets you the honour you desire and deserve.
be kind to your peers even if you are in a news channel hub and returning late from a pub.

Laura the character is great; Lionel Richie the creator of song is awesome and on a clean slate. Since the "Hello" song was sung almost three decades ago Laura and Lionel would have moved on with life with no intention to pay a bribe.
