Interactions in National Capital of Delhi

As i visited New Delhi railway station, second time in a fortnight, announcements were being made for different trains and their height. Guwahati Rajdhani delayed by three hours 15 minutes. EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) train from Ghaziabad to Shakur Basti arriving on Platform 10, EMU to Ghaziabad available on PF 14, train number 12305 Howrah Rajdhani arriving on PF 16. Mr Vishram along with other two porters carry the luggage and taxi man Mr Raj Kumar who drops us in Safdarjung Enclave. Not to be missed platforms 15 and 16 were neat and clean. Kudos to Indian Railways.

Interactions in recent months in National Capital of  Delhi have been varied and enterprising. Meet Mr V Sengovidan who hails from Kanniyakumari in Tamil Nadu State in Sector 3 R K Puram. Meet Mr Surendar Singh of Mother Dairy Green Park, meet vegetable vendor Mr Ram Surat. Meet Mr B K Garg of Green Park. Meet Mr Ashok Yadav at Safdarjung Enclave Post Office.

Meet Mr Pandey at Safdarjung Enclave, Meet Mr Mohammad Arif Hindi Hons student of Motilal Nehru College in Delhi University, meet Mr Badri of R K Puram, meet Mr Prem Chander seeking directions to BSES Office (Electricity Office). Meet Mr Luv Kumar at DLTA Stadium who hails from Gwalior, meet Mr Rampur Meena from Jaipur in Rajasthan, meet Mr Kavin from Canada. We talk about Quebec the province in Canada. Meet two students of class 11 of Lal Bahadur Shastri School R K Puram. Meet two students from North East. Meet Mr Ashok Gupta sock seller endlessly waiting for customers in Yusuf Sarai area in New Delhi. Meet Mr Hansraj Parikh who walks with a stick and needs some sort of help to cross the road.

On another day on another outing while going through Deer Park in Safdarjung Enclave came across different set of people. Meet Mr Bhatia who is old enough and can walk with a stick. Meet Mr Upadhyay, meet Mr Shyam from Manipur, meet Mr Gautam who emerges from a house in Safdarjung Enclave and i don't miss an opportunity to praise his moustache, meet Mr Amilal. As i reached Lord Venkateswara temple in Sector 3 R K Puram in New Delhi meet Mr Madhavan from Chennai, meet Mr Karan in the same temple. Later meet Ashish Kumar Class 9th student of LBS School R K Puram.

Meet three boys hailing from minority section Abdullah (12 years old), Anas (12), Umar (11) studying in Madrasa Talim Ul Uran. It was a wonderful experience interacting with them. Meet Mr Chander Jain along with daughter Lavisha Jain who is mindful of hazards of speaking on phone while driving. Meet Mr Shadi Lal in R K Puram, meet Mr Noor Mohammad. In ST. Thomas Church in R K Puram meet Mr Rajan. Meet Mr Hari Shankar Shukla in Safdarjung Enclave. On another day meet tailor Mr Baldev in Central market Safdarjung Enclave, meet Mr Nimai who repairs watch in the same market. Meet vegetable vendor Mr Kamlesh and expressions from his face suggest he has to really work hard to earn his living. Interactions with all of them bordered on hope and aspiration and a chance encounter to bring smile on their face. Though we come from varied background we are all one was the underlying message.


The ride to Badarpur in Delhi

Take bus number 544 at 11.08 am. South Extension comes at 11.40, August Kranti Marg 11.40, 11.44 Siri Fort Road, 11.45 Gargi College, 12.01 Birla Vidya Niketan School, 12.05 Ambedkar Nagar Bus Terminal. I deboard here. Meet Coconut Vendor Mr Manish, meet newspaper vendor Mr Rajinder Chauhan who is at his job from 6 am to 2 pm every day. Meet Mr Sanjeev Kumar of Delhi going to Sangam Vihar. Take another bus at 12.23. Go past Signal Training School Border Security Force. Reach Badarpur at 12.43. Meet Mr Rakesh water cart vendor from Supaul in  Bihar State. Meet Mr Devraj Kumar from Supaul Bihar another water cart vendor. As i take metro to reach Sarojini Nagar Metro Station, i meet three students from Mizoram studying in Delhi University.

Came across Mr Aakar Patel's piece on NGOs in Asian Age newspaper. He wrote about young bright minds who get swayed by the work the NGOs do and thus they relate to them well despite low salaries and in an environment where political apparatus is arrogant. The piece on 6000 getting second chance at education in HT by Fareeha Iftikhar was good.

The Roshan Dilli episode beamed on March 29 on NDTV 24X7 bordered on techno driven variables vis-a-vis mundane content and yet insightful on Madanpur Khadar episode beamed the previous week. The Roshan Dilli episode this time carried the essence of changing the mindset of men towards women and deliver the much desirable respect to women force. This endeavour from NDTV talks on the need for well lit roads across Delhi and beyond. Best wishes to all of them.

It is high time electric buses are introduced in large numbers in National Capital of Delhi and they replace CNG buses. The city of Bengaluru already has electric buses in large numbers. It is high time water recycling plants are installed in large numbers in Delhi
