Amidst Slowdown In Economy The Ride To Delhi Cantt Station
The ride to Delhi Cantt Railway Station was accomplished with the weather not turning freak and cold sweeping the plains of North India where there was none of the heat. It was Mr Surendar who dispensed pigeon feed whom i came across while walking to Nauroji Nagar bus stand where there were none who perfected the art of serving as boss. Boarded Bus Number 874 at 1.23 pm with the ride amongst those who reported to GM (General Manager). It was at breakneck speed the bus was moving with the knowledge that this orange colour bus had among its passengers some grooving. The almighty speed was a potent reminder how lean were the traffic rules in the city of Delhi and how fewer adhered to norms given they had to constantly fight away their blues.
One newspaper the previous day had a story on IMF's observation that India was in the middle of a significant slowdown, how significant was this noting given the country which was witness to round the year voting. Slowdown coming amidst fuming tax revenues with declining consumption and investment and there was a need to pitch your tent. Another story was on Delhi facing the coldest December spell in 22 years, some would find this occasion to cheer with no accompanying fear.
The poor is hit the hardest in chilling cold and they need to wrap themselves with enough woolens and be bold. They need not fear the khakiwallahs who occasionally uses baton to disperse them with the latter having gulped down a glass of rum.
Reached Delhi Cantt Railway Station at 1.43 pm with the sighting of Ala Hazrat Express coming from Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh State and heading towards Bhuj in Gujarat State. Another Al Hazrat Express from Bhuj and going towards Bareilly comes on Platform (PF) 2. Yatra Special Ambala Rameswaram departs from PF 1 with 19 coaches with enough passengers who were ever ready to hand over roses. On PF 1 there is a Multipurpose Stall and Upper Class Waiting Hall. There were series of announcements with train number 14545 to Saharanpur delayed by 30 minutes, train number 15715 from Kishanganj to Ajmer delayed by two hours as in PF 1 bathroom some were taking shower. Snacks Vendor Vikas is kind enough to hand over salted peanuts, with tea vendor Sushil Kumar not to be seen probably fixing the engine and its innards. The search for tea vendor outside station couldn't yield much in a nation where there was famed festival in a place in Gujarat called Kutch.
The ride back to Safdarjung Enclave was accomplished in bus number 724 which had its own set of roar. Cricket was one game that had begun to discover declining viewership with bets, doping employed so that the opponents could not thrive. This was done with no less enthusiasm and it was time games/sporting events like Kabaddi, Kho Kho, Badminton, Athletics (Running, Walking, Jumping and Throwing), Basketball and Hockey needed to be upgraded with a renewed vision. The Jharkhand Jolt had given the right wing party an opportunity to introspect and take all including minorities namely Muslims under its belt. As JMM political party begins its new innings in State of Jharkhand hope it would be miles away from Graft and Grunt.
