Bihar Girl Tops NEET Medical Entrance Test ; I Leaving for Bengaluru, reaching Anegundi in Karnataka

Bihar girl Kalpana Kumari tops NEET Medical Entrance Test. Big Congratulations To Her And All The Best For Future Endeavours

Leaving for Bengaluru, reaching Anegundi in Karnataka

After a thorough search of different flights and trains to Bengaluru/ Coimbatore i finally settled for a flight to Bengaluru hoping against hope the situation won't be that tight. It was for over two weeks i was searching on how to reach Coimbatore or Hospet, the binding thought was on a travel schedule that won't consume much time. Connectivity to Hubli in Karnataka state from Delhi had limited options and going to Bengaluru and from there going to Hospet seem to be a desirable option.

On a Monday left home at 12.36 pm, reached Dhaula Kuan at 12.45 , reached airport (terminal 2) at 1.05. Meet a man from Benin near Nigeria. Benin is known to have a robust democracy among African countries. To its west lies Togo and to its east is Nigeria. Later come across Mr Satvir Singh Yadav of CISF (Central Industrial Security Force). There is Mr Rajan Varghese at Go Air counter which is in B Row.

There is an offer for passengers. At Delhi IGI Airport GMR get additional 12 per cent off on shopping over and above our existing offer.
- Visiting friends after a long gap don't arrive empty handed. Perhaps meant to entice passengers to bring loads of gifts.
There is Mr Bhagwat Meena of CISF
There is another message and quite true to our times. Think of everyone as your equal and the world will become a better place.

Mr Boro of CISF is at the scanning baggage counter, Mr Pandey is handling frisking. Perhaps the number of people who don't have to go through frisking should be brought under frisking ambit for the sake of security.  Post frisking there  is Delsey Paris outlet. Meet Mr Abhilash who has come from Hyderabad and going to Vaishnodevi in Jammu and Kashmir. He is working in TCS (Tata Consultancy Services). On way to Vaishnodevi at Ban Ganga itself porters (pitthos) should be stationed so that devotees don't have tough times. Perhaps the shrine board should look into this issue.

Meet a man from China doing business in submersive machinery. The number of people arriving from China and agreeing to stay in India for a while has grown phenomenally over the years. Meet Mr Hasmukh bhai from Surat in Gujarat State part of a group comprising13 members. Each person had to shell out Rs 21,000 excluding air fare to go to places like Shimla, Manali and Vaishnodevi. They are of the opinion that Mr NM would be able to hold on to his post a little over one year from now.
Later i settle for Samosa Ragada a Gujarati delicacy coming for 110 rs. Meet Mr Rawat going to Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in Chennai for counselling.

Mysuru cleanest city in India

In Go Air flight meet a man from Thiruvanthapuram working as a veterinary doctor in Kannur in Kerala. His wife is doing masters in Vet Science from Bareilly in UP. Go - getter the inflight magazine has a story on Southern Sojourn in Mysuru. It has been Voted cleanest city on two consecutive occasions. This environment day we should reflect on Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Campaign) and despite constraints it has made some headway.  Another story is on Mysuru Rail Museum which is second largest rail museum in India. Meet a group most of whom happen to be lawyers including Ms Meena from Bengaluru. Meet Mr Sam from Georgia.
Go past Ariana Afghan Airways.
Go-getter has guidelines to protect the sanctity of forest. Story on Dudhwa National Park in Uttar Pradesh State which essentially throws the template of fresh air, tall trees and dense foliage.
The flight took off at 4.15 pm and lands in Bengaluru at 6.45. Meet Mr Naveen from Chennai working in Bengaluru.
The bus leaves from airport at 7.17 ,  reaches Gandhi Nagar near Majestic at 8.13. I reach Shubhodaya lodge at 8.17. In the bus meet Mr Vijay from Udupi.  Meet Mr Suresh from Bengaluru. According to Mr Vijay, Udupi and Mangalore in Karnataka state are educational hubs. Medical, Para medical and engineering courses are offered. Students from more than 100 countries come here to pursue studies. Bus Conductor Mr Madan is helpful.
Meet Mr Rama Krishna and Mr Anoop in Hotel Adora while taking food. Meet Mr Lakshmana from Chennai.

This is the first time i am staying in Shubhodaya lodge. Mr Jagdish and Mr Anand came across as men who were willing to help at any hour. On previous occasions i have stayed in  Subhadra lodge and Srinidhi lodge. I don't miss an opportunity to take tea from Gandhava Upahar. I have visited Gandhava Upahar on numerous occasions in the past.
