Visiting Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station By Metro On A Thursday
On a Thursday i had the fortune to visit Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station in the heart of New Delhi. Coming close on the heels of declaring my intention to visit South India some time later the visit to the said station was accomplished in a Delhi Metro Coach. As i stepped inside metro coach post frisking there was proud proclamation which went like this: The Metro Network in Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region) is one of the largest in the world at 373 kms with 271 metro stations. This brings to the fore the metro network in Turkey (Istanbul) and the monumental feat that it has recorded and hope frisking is in place and it remains secured as ever. Hope the Moscow Metro too remains secured as ever and same hope for New York Metro.
As for Delhi Metro the metro stations that came on the way to Nizamuddin station were Dilli Haat INA, South Extension, Lajpat Nagar, Vinobapuri and Ashram. I had the fortune to meet Mr Aamir Khan who was headed towards Khan Market and sought directions to the same. He zeroed in on deboarding at Lajpat Nagar and taking another metro to Khan Market which was not that far from there. Lajpat Nagar is interchange station and one has to walk for a while to board another metro. Mr Aamir Khan's candid nature showed his upbringing was rock solid and that should be hailed by one and all.
A little after 2 pm i was at my destination and the walk to the said station from metro premises called for deft skills as the road was choc-a bloc with commuters, riders and passengers. There was a vending machine that dispensed platform ticket and this spared you from the trouble of standing in a queue. I was carrying a torn note and the personnel was not prepared to accept that. The Waiting hall / Lounge on Platform 1 run by Tirupati Associates was something to cheer as it has a cordial staff and honest right from top to toe. They charge rs 10 for each hour spent and that is reasonable. The bathroom is squeaky clean. Again my best wishes to Tirupati Associates and Waiting Lounge.
There were series of announcements for different trains starting from Karnataka Sampark Kranti coming from Yashwantpur in Bengaluru City to Hazrat Nizamuddin on Platform 6, Hazrat Nizamuddin to Jabalpur Shreedham Express rescheduled to leave at 4 pm, Agra Cantt-Delhi Passenger arriving at 3.19 pm, Shakurbasti-Palwal EMU arriving on Platform 3, Nizamuddin-Ghaziabad EMU, Kerala Express from Thiruvanthapuram arriving on Platform 3, Sachkhand Express arriving at 3.01 pm on Platform 3, Gondwana Express to leave from Platform 4 at 3.20 pm. As i made mental note of these announcement a special word of praise for snacks vendor Mr Chandrapal on Platform 1 who was very cooperative in dispensing soap strips and accepted 100 rs torn note from me without any hesitation. I had collected this torn note from a public sector bank in Kamal Cinema. The platform 1 was squeaky clean and so were other platforms.
I had the opportunity to meet Buddhist Monk Mr Gangtulku who was going by Goa Express to Hubbali (it is spelled as Hubli and Hubbali was spelled on train coach) as the said train had some of its coaches going to Hubli. Mr Gangtulku was staying in Hubli in Karnataka State. We spoke about famous monastery near Mysore at Bylakuppe. I told him i had been to Mcleodganj where a large number of Buddhists resided. I could make note of Mr D K Singh TTE of Jhansi Division on Platform 7.
A little before 3 pm i left Nizamuddin station and as i waited for the metro i came across Mr Ansal Updhayay pursuing Bachelor of Engineering (Information Technology) from Army Institute of Technology Pune. He had come by Karnataka Sampark Kranti from Pune which started at 9 am the previous day and reached Hazrat Nizamuddin a little before 3 pm the next day. The train fare stood at over rs 2000 and air adventurism he resisted as the fare would have been much higher than that had he done spot booking. Having reached Sarojini Nagar Metro Station i hailed auto driven by Mr Kauser Ali who was very humble.
On a Sunday i had the opportunity to visit Khan Market where i collected the calendar from Narula's Stationery where the staff was very humble. My best wishes to them. Later i visited Sarojini Nagar Market in an auto mentored by Mr Vishnu whose humble nature and honesty needs to be appreciated. I collected bag from VIP Store.
