Reynolds JIFFY Gel has developed snag; Flair Glitter Gel can glide and brag

Reynolds JIFFY Gel has developed snag; Flair Glitter Gel can glide and brag

As we write with Reynolds JIFFY Gel pen malfunctioning has developed and it can't glide well. Reynolds JIFFY Gel pen was doing well in the past earmarking episodes of section of society having a blast. Now rupture has appeared and it seems JIFFY Gel is unprepared. Perhaps it would take ages for JIFFY Gel to get back in action and for the aforementioned period it would be minus traction. 

As we write with Flair Glitter Gel this pen glides and essays script of confidence well. This pen was procured from South India Secundarabad (Telangana State) or Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh State) to be precise where people are wise. Secundarabad and Srisailam are two pious destinations where people know fully well the nation and who all are tied to acts of procrastination. We have scripts of succour reaching the needy in the heart of India; still there are a lot on the margins of society needing relief from those who are familiar with their fief. As India rises to the occasion to keep itself abreast with monsoon advance this year monsoon has been uneven and in places rash. Hills in India had monsoon in plenty; South India too saw it in abundance and in the Hindi Heartland there were territories where monsoon touch was minimal and not in full attendance. How would this play out in future is not known, we sincerely believe the farmers would reap a good harvest and visit their homes. Myriad of challenges India faces as it makes attempt to lift more out of poverty, here none can be haughty. Here people crisscross the country in the faint hope of securing orders for armaments and ammunition, India is one nation where some students have disdain for tuition. 

Thoughts On Srisailam, Secundarabad And Rameswaram

Months have passed since we placed thoughts on Srisailam and Secundarabad, these are two places where prayers are put every passing hour. Srisailam and Secundarabad would win laurels in the years to come and residents would largely take meals that won't make them plump. As for more on South India Theatre as I was in Rameswaram some years ago I was told by a gentleman that one should leave the place soon after putting in prayers as one could get under gaze. Gauging the benefits of stay in Rameswaram doesn't leave one in conundrum, this is one place that has been repeatedly visited by people across India in numbers that is no curn. We relish visiting and staying in Rameswaram for long, this is one territory whose attributes are known to people in distant Kalimpong (West Bengal State) and Pyongyang (North Korea). We hope democracy ushers in Pyongyang and peace thrill be given a chance perhaps interlocutors may come from France. Peace postings across world would be welcome and that would leave none grum. Open the vault reap a rich harvest and in the process all centurions take rest. As the world is on the cusp of change, the attempt to raise hate would invite berate. Let there be enough cushion against uncertainties and none dismissed as sundries. From Rameswaram to Rourkela Keeping India Intact (Bharat Jodo) would win accolades and when to get into these acts in the new time slot. Keeping India Intact is no mirage exhortation to the same can be heard in Agra's TAJ.

ODI Contest To T20 Contest That May Have Not Enough Hosts And Sets

ODI Contest To T20 Contest That May Have Not Enough Hosts And Sets

Much is being made of ODI contest/T20 contest which is as punishing as a school test and few willing to attest. Seconds turning to minutes, minutes turning to hours and here players essay a script which in distant Kenya looks farce. This bat and bowl glory can't rein in mob fury. Episodes in the past when the ruling side truly arrived to lose the battle and face crowd ire which was no less tattle. The winning side is on a cruise but that can be halted in next contest leaving some teammates with bruise. As continent after continent haven't heard about this game which nonetheless can't be played in rain. This game is wonder of wonders for some relayed on Telly intermittent with ads which are disapproved by followers of Italian composer Lully. Some have stopped watching this game as it has lost the plot and fame. Not watching this game has not alarmed many including nanny. From Scotland to Switzerland people largely shut their Telly when the game is on and they dislike to be classified as pawn. Classified information has emerged that this game is about to purge and what would set in motion would be holy men search.

Moolah Would Make Deep Inroads

Sceptics strongly believe that in future episodes moolah would change hands prior to a contest and that would keep speculation to rest. A contest that is not free from tantrums and testament can't be good in a world hooked to a technology bluetooth. The die has been cast, future matches would invariably get fixed and episodes would emerge of heist. Some believe that to prevent this from happening players would have to stick to a schedule where honesty would be the rule. That is easier said than done. As of now this contest is being watched by the likes of confectioner residing in Sangam Vihar to Palam Vihar having attended to their duties not bordering on fubar. Confectioners too would bid goodbye to this game as it would bring out of closet those given blows for their acts of shame. This game is out to dissipate as followers don't want to reach their offices late and be slammed by campaign of hate. From office goers to those undertaking school tours all would boycott as this game never raised the issue of discipline that should be taught. Minus crowd this game would lose its clout and none would be hoodwinked as this game would be minus wings. The game that for long retained the title of crowd puller would lose its sheen as stadiums that would host the contests won't have security topmost and clean. Let the discourse be on the need to let clean men emerge no matter how many flight of steps one has to trudge.

Bringing South India News Under Lens The Territory That Hosts Ladies And Gents

Bringing South India News Under Lens The Territory That Hosts Ladies And Gents

Peering through news from South India, it was no less than revelation of sorts as the aforementioned territory is not tied in knots. Massive traffic jam on Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway was revealed and stranded vehicles made the roads almost sealed. This was on account of heavy rains that led to Kanmanike Lake to breach vis-a-vis the City of Delhi that has no lake to ditch. South India is witness to heavy rains and this bringing gains as in Andhra Pradesh 120 per cent excess rainfall in Anantapur is bound to bring relief to farmers who are no loners and have disdain to carry gadgets like jammers. Farmers we hold in high respect across India as they feed billion plus people a majority of whom in due course of time may have smartphone phobia. 

In Tamil Nadu 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' to be launched on September 7 with Mr Stalin at the helm and there won't be sighting of people who would be plump. This event is to be kickstarted from Kanniyakumari a place in Tamil Nadu that receives visitors in abundance round the year some of whom come in vehicles by changing gear. Parking is no issue in Tamil Nadu compared to New Delhi City where fights break out and sermons can be heard loud. Coming to Telangana Mr K Chandrasekhar Rao is to address a public meeting at Peddapalli where he would listen in rapt attention to varied issues faced by people and try to address them as he is a tall leader and not a rebel. The other set of news is one Telangana IAS Officer has questioned the release of those who sexually assaulted Madam Bilkis Bano and this news of release has alarmed the nation and there can't be any justification. As for Kerala CPI (M) has elected Excise Minister Mr M V Govindan as party's State Secretary and We wish him well and occasionally he would have a tale to tell. CPI (M) has a long road to traverse and we hope Kerala the State has in abundance prioress. 

As we sighted ad of New Delhi-Dubai Flight Ticket coming at Rs 16431 and this was no fun. For Nasik-Pune Flight the ticket came at Rs 2952 and perhaps this may take away the career blue. We still believe air travel adds to greenhouse gas emissions and lesser the travel more would be visible cushion. As news from South was accessed we hope there are none of the acts showcasing rash driving as such acts are invariably seen in Delhi which is miles and miles away from Minnesota Town Hibbing. News from South which in future frame would have clout; in winter months cold doesn't set in and this makes the residents more than once grin. Hail South, Hail India where some have heard of Egypt's Giza.

Visiting Lord Govinda Temple Near Mandir Marg Again, Visiting Sarojini Nagar Market, Visiting Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro Station Again In New Delhi

Visiting Lord Govinda Temple Again , Visiting Sarojini Nagar Market In New Delhi

As I collected bananas from fruit vendor Mr Ranjeet,  other fruit vendors going by the names Mr Bichai, Mr Bholenath, Mr Kalu and Mr Jagdish Singh have proved to be more than helpful. Some times bananas last long and on other occasions bananas go bad sooner than later. Bananas are necessary in a city where rash driving has not been stonewalled and is the ever lasting territory. Rash driving for how long would continue no one knows in a city that is pretty old. 

Visiting Lord Govinda Temple Again 

Leave home at 8.03. Automan Mr Balchand takes me to INA Metro Station and I reach there at 8.10. Mr Shailendar gives token. Board metro at 8.12, reach Rajiv Chowk at 8.24 and deboard here and take metro at 8.28 going towards Dwarka. Go past Chief Postmaster General Delhi Circle. Reach Lord Hanuman Temple in R K Ashram Marg at 8.34. Leave temple at 8.44. Reach Mandir Marg at 8.59. Go past ST. Thomas Church. Go Past  Navyug School. Go past Kali Bari Marg at 9.15. Reach Kali Bari Temple at 9.17. Leave Temple at 9.32. Reach Lord Govinda Temple at 9.36. Leave Temple at 9.47. Board auto at 9.48. Thinking about Udhagamandalam, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala (All Places, States In South India). Go past North Avenue, Mother Teresa Crescent, President's Estate, Sardar Patel Marg. Go past Kautilya Marg, Nyaya Marg, Panchsheel Marg, Satya Marg and Africa Avenue. Reach home at 10.25. It was a day when long winding traffic in North Avenue roundabout and Africa Avenue instilled thoughts that this is not going to get better any soon even if one has visited Egypt ruins (The Great Pyramid of Giza, Great Sphinx of Giza). This visit to Central Delhi was with the avowed aim of accessing Lord Govinda Lord Venkateswara Temple with least likelihood of people undertaking long distance travel.

Visiting Sarojini Nagar Market Again, Visiting Kotla Market

Leave home at 9.07. Reach Ring Road Market Sarojini Nagar at 9.20. Thinking about Dakshineswar Kali Temple in Kolkata and Kalighat Temple in Kolkata. Sight directions for Sarojini Nagar, Yashwant Place, Netaji Nagar. Go past Cross Road No 3. Go past Sarojini Nagar Shopkeepers Association board. Wait for Alpana Fancy Dress Store to open. Employment that Sarojini Nagar Market provides to people from Hindi Heartland like Bihar and UP is huge. Meet belt seller Mr Rohit Mishra from Ayodhya and bag seller Mr Verma. Take peacock feather from Alpana store with the personnel polite and humble. Automan Mr Mohammad Ayub takes me to home. On another day walked all the way to Sarojini Nagar Market in search of Gate Lock. Searched every nook and corner and with no success had to board auto for South Extension. Went to Kotla Market and went inside lane after lane with the aforementioned lock accessible from Jagdamba Hardware whose personnel were with no fear. Again went to Sarojini Nagar Market courtesy Delhi Metro with the personnel at Customer Care giving token. In Sarojini Nagar Market visited Gupta Flour Mill with Mr Utkarsh and Mr Alam at the counter. Visited as well Harpal Watch Company Store with Mr Hitesh willing to get the wall clock repaired. Mr Utkarsh, Mr Alam and Mr Hitesh were wonder of wonders and their polite demeanour said it all. 

Visiting Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro Station In New Delhi Again

Leave home at 9.55. Go past Cross Road No 8. Reach Sarojini Nagar Metro Station at 10.12. Meet Mr S Prakash from Ganjam District in Odisha. Wait for metro for over seven minutes. Board metro at 10.23. Dilli Haat INA comes at 10.25, South Extension 10.27, Lajpat Nagar 10.30, Vinobhapuri 10.32, Ashram 10.34, Sarai Kale Khan Hazrat Nizamuddin at 10.37. Reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station at 10.44. There is heavy rush and I don't step inside. Reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro Station at 10.47. The gentleman at customer care not willing to give token. I beg and beg with the hint that I collected token from this very customer care the previous day. At the token vending machine there is heavy rush and no social distancing. This gentleman has given token to a khakhiwallah in plain clothes just two minutes ago. Intermittent persuasion makes this gentleman yield and I am astonished by his conduct. In Delhi Metro as well there are staff members who need a lesson on how to conduct themselves. Board metro at 10.58, reach Ashram 11 am, Vinobhapuri 11.03, Lajpat Nagar 11.05, South Extension 11.09, Dilli Haat INA 11.12 and Sarojini Nagar at 11.14. Walk all the way to home. 

As we collect groceries from City Store Safdarjung Enclave, the walnuts and almonds they send are stale and it leads to stomach pain. Walnuts are old and not branded and yet for 250 gm they charge Rs 400 to Rs 450. Walnuts even don't weigh 250 gm. Almonds are equally bad. We place big order twice a week. And that doesn't satisfy this store. The young boy who runs this store is rude and given the large client base that he caters to and huge moolah that he makes shoddy behaviour is all apparent. We are appalled by his behaviour and here honesty doesn't gel. Here his personnel Mr Lal Singh brought groceries and as I was restoring them he insisted he has to go as his boss was shouting at the other end on phone. He did not have patience for even two minutes and I could not cross check whether groceries were in order. There are innumerable businessmen and builders in our country who don't file income tax and property tax return with honesty and that shows the blip in the economy. 

In This country those making tall claims that graft has been wiped out are fooling countrymen and here votes and notes are the in thing. Here graft would never go and those with resources would flow. Those with enough resources would nail down those with fewer resources and that is a reality.

Visiting Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station

Visiting Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station

Leave Home at 9.07. Reach Ring Road Market Sarojini Nagar at 9.17. Go past Cross Road Number 3 at 9.25. Thinking about Dakshineshwar Kali Temple Kolkata and Kalighat Temple Kolkata. Reach Sarojini Nagar Metro Station at 9.32. Frisking by Mr K K Suman. Sight Food on the Go outlet. In Metro Station ad of IDBI Bank Video Account Opening. Ad of UK Education Expo 2022 Delhi. Ten thousand scholarships. Board Metro 9.39, Dilli Haat INA comes at 9.42, South Extension 9.45, Lajpat Nagar 9.48, Vinobhapuri 9.52, Ashram 9.53, Sarai Kale Khan Nizamuddin Railway Station 9.57. 

As I step out of Metro Station there is Ticket Ghar outlet. Rail Ticket Air Ticket Bus Ticket Car Rental. Reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station at 10.03.Take platform ticket.  As I take a seat announcements are being made for different trains. Train Number 12953 August Kranti Rajdhani from Mumbai to Hazrat Nizamuddin arriving on Platform 4, New Delhi Shakur Basti Special arriving on Platform 1, 12925 Paschim Express arriving on Platform 3, Mahakaushal Express arriving on Platform 5, Ujjaini Express arriving on Platform 1, Chhatisgarh Sampark Kranti arriving at 10.40, Train Number 22421 Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Station to Hazrat Nizamuddin Rajdhani Express arriving on Platform 6. As I am making mental note of trains arrival and departure, one young boy comes and clears his throat and spits more than five times next to my seat. I have to vacate seat. I can't find empty bench on Platform 6 and ascend stairs and reach Platform 1. There are no vacant seats here either. I decide to leave railway station. As I go past Platform 6 one sardar passes abuse repeatedly. If that is not all as I come out of railway station there are men waiting to spit next to me. I tolerate all this. What a fall for police. Sack this commissioner immediately. This commissioner is a blot on the nation. If you can't sack this commissioner minister black of race course should quit. No politico is indispensable. That was not all. As I reached entrance of Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station there was a woman who was offering her services and suggesting condom be used. Let this woman offer her services to commissioner. This commissioner has no control over his men. Are we supposed to hear such comments and you place woman of low character at entrance of metro station. This woman of low integrity was placed by police. There was repeated abuse as I tried to access Metro Station. The other day in Sarojini Nagar there was repeated abuse and torture. I tolerated this all. We are witness to torture from outside when we are sitting in the front room. This is all at the behest of minister black of race course. When we are putting in prayers in the front room there is repeated abuse from outside. Both commissioner and minister black are criminals and their fall is imminent. If you can't sack commissioner get yourself sacked. Minister Black who ran a terror campaign. I pray we are saved from Minister Black's excesses, Commissioner's excesses.

Visiting Lord Venkateswara Lord Govinda Temple In New Delhi

Visiting Lord Venkateswara Lord Govinda Temple In New Delhi

Trials and tribulations of staying in a big city brings a host of issues, some commendable and some inviting giggle. As one steps out of home with the avowed aim of reaching varied destinations the connectivity goads you to take a long walk and you don't necessarily baulk. A metro station that looks miles and miles away from your place is best accessed by auto, some flanked by happiness and least showing signs of hysteria; some wishing to make that much so that they could spend endless moments in riviera. Once having accessed metro station you occasionally come across gentlemen drawing pension. Pensioners may have a mixed opinion about metro ride as there have been no moments when a group has engaged in a fight. You have men, women and babies boarding a metro coach some destined to slouch. Some are tied to their smartphones listening to debates on the impending shrill campaign as if they are in their homes. A metro ride may have an aura of invincibility but when it is crammed it invites hostility. Filled to the rafters the onset of winter months may see some wearing sweaters. And that would be the one when metro would be in dire need of tutors. Even then a cramped metro may have no look of a retro. Metro may be self sufficient to pay monthly compensation to its staff; time would come when they would break into merriment post intake of blaff. Futuristic Metro Mores may come under scanner given the load it takes eventually bringing under its ambit long distance runner. 

As I left home at 8.47 am it was automan Mr Pervez who took me to INA Metro Station and boarding the metro coach at 9.01 with none looking grum. Reach Lord Hanuman Temple at 9.25 and leave the premises at 9.30 with none getting haughty. Board metro to R K Ashram Marg Station and reach Mandir Marg at 9.45, Kali Bari Marg at 10 and Kali Bari Temple at 10.03 with little stairs to ascent and they were free. Leave temple at 10.12 and reach Lord Venkateswara Temple in Udhyan Marg near Mandir Marg at 10.15 with the sighting of the Lord that had a glow and has followers in millions abroad. Lord Venkateswara looked resplendent giving wings to the prayers who were in attendance. 

Lord Venkateswara looked to be cheerful and for a moment it seemed as if I was viewing Lord Venkateswara Idol of Tirumala which is thousand miles away from Delhi where occasionally people play musical instrument viola. Post sighting of the Lord board auto at 10.37 and go past Talkatora Road, Gurdwara Rakabganj Road, PTI Sansad Marg (Parliament Street), Rafi Marg having sighted Amby  (Ambassador Car DL 2CAH 0008) which was not pitch dark. Go past Sunehari Bagh Road, Tuglak Road and Safdarjung Flyover and reach home at 10.55 reliving the moments when I thrived. It was a day when RK Ashram Marg To Mandir Marg To Udhyan Marg in the city of Delhi were accessed with no stress. It was a day when Lord Hanuman, Goddess Kali and Lord Venkateswara Temples were accessed and triumph of exceptional moments stressed.

Visiting Kashmiri Gate In New Delhi Two Days In A Row With Little Word From Brazil's Rio; Watching Janmashtami From Dwarkadhish

Visiting Kashmiri Gate In New Delhi Two Days In A Row With Little Word From Brazil's Rio

It was a decision not made in haste as I visited Kashmiri Gate with none of the trains in India inviting riposte bordering on derision and berate. Kashmiri Gate I relish visiting as it opens doors for cycle rickshaw and the men who steer them and who all along are awaiting. In the first visit leave home at 7.57, reach INA Metro Station at 8.20, board Delhi Metro at 8.27, reach Kashmiri Gate at 8.48 with rickshawman Mr Mohit Chand Sah agreeing to take me to Lord Hanuman Temple via road that is somewhat well laid. The ride begins at 8.53 and I am in vicinity of Temple at 9.02 knowing fully well who are fighting career blue. Leave Temple at 9.17, taking the same cycle rickshaw at 9.18 reaching Kashmiri Gate Metro Station at 9.25 with token personnel Mr Shubham giving token and this gentleman has finally arrived. Take Metro towards Delhi University at 9.38 and take a return ride to INA having to deboard at Rajiv Chowk Metro Station as the coach is too crowded and wait for a Metro whose personnel in the past have been awarded. Reach home well after 10.30 and this visit was in a city that is by no means bitty.

Second Visit To Kashmiri Gate

The second visit to Kashmiri Gate was again by Delhi Metro. Leave Home at 8.30, board Metro at 8.44, reach Kashmiri Gate at 9.03, take cycle rickshaw at 9.07 with Mr Jawaharlal at the helm. Reach Lord Hanuman Temple at 9.17, leave Temple at 9.27, take cycle rickshaw at 9.28 with Mr Jawaharlal by no means sedate. Go past S P Mukherjee Marg, go past Kela Ghat Marg, go past RMS Bhawan, go past Chief Electoral Officer Delhi Office, go past ST. James Church and reach Kashmiri Gate Metro Station at 9.39 having understood the trials and tribulations of those who can't dish out rhyme. Board Metro at 9.48, go all the way to Delhi University, take a return ride and deboard at Rajiv Chowk as the metro coach crowd makes the ride almost botch. Wait for a less crowded metro and reach home at 10.45 with high regards for shoe boy at Temple Mr Ram Bahadur who may have heard of a place in Andhra named Gudur. We have been to Gudur earlier while going towards Tirumala where some would have heard of Cameroon's seaport Douala. 

These two visits to Lord Hanuman Temple in Jamuna Bazar and Kashmiri Gate showcased the face of Delhi where occasional rash driving by buses made them win no pally. Cycle rickshawmen and how they manoeuvred in the face of rash driving by some DTC buses who may not be familiar with the term Muses. Rash driving we hold in high contempt in a city where against the mighty people bend. Let pedestrian space be not shelved; cycle rickshawmen not be culled. Here from US to Greek Island Keos peace propensity would be hailed in a world that yields enough tales. China like India we hold in high esteem, hope they retain round the year sheen.

Festival Janmashtami (Lord Govinda Lord Krishna Birthday) was watched from Dwarkadhish in Gujarat State In India on DD Girnar and TV 9 Gujarati. TV 9 Gujarati had elaborate coverage. Mangla Aaarti from Dwarkadhish too was watched the next day.

India At 75 Hoping To Usher In 150 And That Should Look Pretty

India At 75 Hoping To Usher In 150 And That Should Look Pretty

India turning 75 ushers in hope and optimism with occasional reminders that the country stand upright in the task of nation building. This moment is historic in more ways than one. When India gained Independence in 1947 caution was the buzzword, inventory of ideas to steer ahead were no less and at the helm a leadership that ably shined in demanding circumstances.  Like an infant which took baby steps to blossom, India too had to inch forward step by step with much at stake. The leadership of that time had a strenuous job on hand. It had to make the people at large understand that though partition was painful, the political and social terrain would be freed from agonising moments in the journey that India was destined to take. This journey of 75 years is no less achievement given the myriad of challenges that have emerged from time to time. From wars to famine to drought to floods India has seen it all; the pervasive theme being bringing relief to the displaced and never let despondency set in. The record has been a mixed bag. The trials and tribulations of a young nation state were very much visible, the quest to stay afloat discernible.   

Steering Ahead Is A Work In Progress; Affordable Healthcare Is A Must

India at 75 may be relatively young, robust and on occasions shrieking; there is still a long road to travel and set of dreams to realise. Dreams that over a billion people entertain caught in the whirlpool of changes that visit every passing day. Dreams that have remained unfulfilled even after seven decades of striking patience; dreams that would make them true to the cause of nation building. When a child is born, the foremost challenges are to make him/her release an imprint of a healthy kid followed by the dictum that the school h/she enrolls imparts education of excellence and higher education of impeccable standards. Here the nation has lost the plot given the proliferation of private schools and private medical/engineering colleges with those in the government sector minimal to say the least. IITs, IIMs Of Today And Tomorrow may be exception of sorts the gargantuan scale at which the private sector has made inroads in education has been revelation of sorts. Capitation Fees and Fees Of Fear are omnipotent and here corrective measures are least seen. In the health sector as well the primary health centres across India and govt hospitals have done no better. Infusion of funds to raise sturdy infrastructure in the government medical centres coupled with round the clock monitoring is the pressing priority. A nation having traversed over seven decades and which can't lay claim to a potent and booming healthcare in government terrain is a worrisome feature. Affordable healthcare eludes millions and millions and this is no rosy picture. 

Those In Employable Age Getting The Openings They Deserve

India's population of today is huge and canvass of opportunities for those in employable age dwindling every passing moment. Surreptitious claims by regimes of Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow that employment generation has been an attentive agenda and here the fact is much needs to be done. From aviation to hospitality to construction to teaching to automobile to entertainment to sporting arena openings come up with a rider and reality that for every one post there are no less than thousand claimants and employment sources drying up is a harsh truth. 

From Telugu to Tamil to Bangla to Hindi to Malayalam to Kannada to Marathi the films that are released do provide employment but that is handful to say the least. Engineering marvels we would have raised, innumerable connectivity by train, plane and buses we would have provided from the word go but there are safety issues that tail. Agriculture Sector is of paramount importance and here fast depleting groundwater reserves and biting pesticides, fertiliser prices have eroded the gains that were recorded in the '70s and '80s. Delhi alone is not India; India is vast with 28 states and 8 Union Territories and here the Hindi Heartland has lagged behind in some sphere. Though the Hindi Heartland should be commended for feeding millions but in other theatres of progress it crawls. Alliances are stitched and unstitched, fears and jitters visit the deserted section, anxiety pangs tail the minorities and the name of the game is taking a shot at the chair by hook or crook. 

Inclusive Portfolio Should Be-All And End-All Of Democracy

A Dawn Of New India can solely be realised by keeping intact inclusive portfolio, leaving no section suffer for the very reason that their faith is different. A Dawn Of New India should see the three pillars of democracy legislature, executive and judiciary not work at cross purposes and work in tandem to see the validity of any community is not in question. At 75 the nation should give a clarion call that Respect To All And Respect For All. A Leader's Schedule that keeps him/her away from one section and that essentially tantamount to Disrespect To The Flag And Disrespect To Nation. Leaders would come, grow and make way for others but the nation would be ever present and those in existential dilemma may not secure tent. Let The New India emerge with the hope that ties with nations in the subcontinent are steady and cheerleaders multiply in the next 75 years. The next 75 years would be crucial and those navigating the ship should be men, women of impeccable integrity as immaculate as nation's tenacity. The overriding challenges would be provision of potable water to million households to dwellings to those who don't have one to securing our frontiers from those with expansionist gait. From agriculture to avionics major strides would be made. Vigil at the borders may see more urgency. Currency notes for one should be watched out for as attempts may be made to release in the market fake notes in varied lots. In the next 75 years from Rajasthan To Kashmir To Bihar To Assam To Punjab To Gujarat To Tamil Nadu To Kerala To Andhra To Telangana cheerleaders should sing paeans to India's record in humility and ever lasting peace visiting its territory.  Let the Next 75 Years Be Golden Years For Those Who Dissent And Differ In A Nation State That Has Multitude Of Languages And Travelers From Different Stretches And Ages. Touching 150 Would Be Extraordinary Carrying Tales Of India's Effervescent Beauty.

We relish watching Ghantanadam/Srinivasagadyam/Lingasht on Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC).

We relish watching Ghantanadam/Srinivasagadyam/Lingasht on Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC)

We are living in times when the power we consume is somewhat dearer, the water flow is ok and the source is nearer. We are living in times when we are on a power and water saving mode, having understood there are some who clamour for round the year vote. We are living in times when prices of essentials are dearer and we are in no mood to host a traveler. We are living in times when some have been lost in reverie seeing no intention of intervention by cavalry. We are living in times when prices of diesel and petrol are high those at the helm may not return post poll try. We are living in times when some want to impose one religion one language across India and this has been observed and objected by a gentleman from South who in his conduct is not uncouth. How can South India comprising states/provinces Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka accept Hindi as medium of instruction and intervention when there is fallacy all around those vouching for its intent and creation. Much is being made of Chinese ship docking in Sri Lanka; we need not get alarmed as there are no villainous designs and those navigating the ship are troika. We are living in times when we would prefer China-Taiwan tensions ebb and peace and harmony is maintained with no intervention by reb. We are all for peace in a world where hostility should cease. 

We are living in times when people are bulldozed to not speak the truth, those with boots can surprisingly get brute. We are living in times when common man is appalled, from Kashmir to Kanniyakumari those rooting for peace may be forced to get in a brawl. Those on a short fuse in avionics to politics has led to mayhem of sorts in sporting disciplines like tennis some have bid goodbye and in administration this act some would have to try. We are living in times when Kenyan Verdict is expected soon; hope the better candidate wins who would take the nation away from ruins. 

We are living in times when Electric DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) buses have begun to erect a wall of success in Delhi, hope the kms logged are a perfect tally. We are living in times when Sarojini Market was accessed in the heart of Delhi; automan Mr Raju Choudhary providing return ride and he made most passengers get freed from uncertain eddy. We visited Lovely Kitchen Centre, Gupta Flour Mill, Harpal Watch Company with Mr Mahesh, Mr Ranjan, Mr Pawan, Mr Utkarsh, Mr Nandu, Mr Negi, Mr Alam and Mr Hitesh at the counter. We are living in times when in Kalka-Shimla section (Himachal Pradesh) flyover caved in and this was probably to do with the fact that person at the helm had enough drinks. We are living in times when news from South India is awaited; this is one territory where triumph in different fields are celebrated. Three cheers for holding Chess Olympiad in the city of Chennai and this event made the surroundings free from ennui. 

Adivo Alladivo on August 6 on SVBC featured singers Ms Sritrithi, Mr Adityasaket, Ms Vivah, Ms Ananya, Ms Anusha and Mr Dheeraj. Judges were Basurao Garu, Shailesh Garu and G V Subramania. Special mention made of Ms Anusha and Mr Adityasaket. 

Reminiscing about Rameswaram, Kanniyakumari and Guruvayur.

Conversations With A Confectioner

Conversations With A Confectioner

This confectioner has been residing in Delhi for a little over 39 years with little or no fears. When he came in the peak of 1983, his arrival to Delhi was almost free. Some went to receive him at the railway station where they sensed he had bimbo sensation. In the initial years he worked in a range of advertising agencies where he eloped at different frequencies. From advertising world he moved to print industry which has had a shady history. His stint in print was too relegated to advertisement sphere where he had off and on challenges to bear. 

He raised a premise in the western part of Delhi and began to enlarge his landscape by acquiring lands here and there with not losing touch with different babes who were never in tears. Having made enough in print sector he bid goodbye to the same by seeking voluntary retirement and he was rewarded with lumpsum payment. He moved to a new sector where he needed premises and cooks and for the aforementioned project he purchased a shop in south delhi which was somewhat rickety but could host different cooking activities filling enough belly. He dabbled in making sweets and with onset of festivals he began to gain new feats. This confectioner has raised scales of wisdom that there is no precious element as moolah and for that he would go to any length with eyes fixed on Botswana Pula. His foresight has helped him to not buckle under pressure be it any regime and any tutor. He battled myriad of challenges all alone knowing fully well the number of bimbo in his kitty were not essentially from Rome. 

This confectioner made disclosure of sorts having properties all across Delhi and beyond with a dwelling in Bhatta Chak being the king kong. The recent additions have been Noida Extension and Jewar the latter being 99 kms from Delhi and all this he looking through prism of investments akin to investments in bimbos in varied tents. Prior to these investments he raised five storey building in south delhi for the very purpose of making sweets and he has reaped a windfall facing no heat. From advertising to print to confectionery he has traversed varied paths with the avowed aim of making moolah and he is the boss never heard of Roman Statesman Sulla. At one point he had a liking for taking a plunge in politics but that couldn't happen and over the years he was plump. Conversations with him revolve around the urgency to garner more and more and when he is not wide awake he snores. This confectioner being no erudite scholar has abundant acquisitions giving his take on worldly possessions.

Leave Home At 8.48 With Some In The City Sedate

Leave Home At 8.48 With Some In The City Sedate

Leave Home at 8.48 am. Spot a range of buses with numbers 864 (Sarai Kale Khan), 794 ( Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station), 611 (Dhaula Kuan), 621 (Munirka), 536 (Chhatarpur Extension), 567 (Kamruddin Nagar). All these places are in the heart of Delhi where Harry Met Sally. Go past Electric Vehicle Charging points on way to West Kidwai Nagar where centuries ago there was sighting of river. Go past Dilli Haat INA with revised rates on display and those who would play. With no success in INA Market on Savlon I board 568 going towards Najafgarh where some residents having heard of term bur.  

Deboard at Munirka with rash driving very much noticeable as if the man at the wheels had taken lesson in erotica and such rash driving acts not visible in Serbian City Subotica. Walk all the way to Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple in Sri Vedanta Desika Marg in Ber Sarai with none spotted from Hawaii. Collect Savlon from Plus Point in Ber Sarai and walk all the way to Sector 3 R K Puram with some having heard of a peninsula in the vicinity of Black Sea named Taman and across our nation those getting agencies summon. Board auto driven by Mr Mohammad Yaseen and reach home after 10.30 when in INA and JNU roundabout there was no sighting of those who were haughty. The automan hailing from minority was gem of a person. It was a day when JNU Old Campus roundabout was accessed with no acts that were propelled by duress. We would remain ever grateful to Mr Inder of Inder Store of INA for giving Mysore Sandal Soap which gives some hope. We wish well for the outgoing Chief Justice Of India Mr N V Ramana who delivered and would be revered. 

Debate on Sun News was on election freebies and there was a need for unanimity to be reached among political parties so that these freebies were discontinued with none getting rued. These freebies come courtesy taxpayer money and sooner political parties reach consensus such acts won't prick their conscience and in the coming days may heard of Louisiana river Tensas. Polimer News had weather updates from Chennai, Vellore, Salem , Ooty, Coimbatore, Kodaikanal, Madurai, Trichy, Nagai, Kanniyakumari (All Places In Tamil Nadu State In India) with large section of population in the said areas facing rain fury. 

There was a report on two-thirds of Australia's Great Barrier Reef having the most coral cover in 36 years and this invited cheers. TV 5 Kannada featured Are We Stupid? underscoring patriotism doesn't flow from flag; it is very much inherent and no one should be dragged. RBI (Reserve Bank Of India)'s third rate hike in four months comes in the backdrop of raging inflation and here one doesn't need any tuition. Conversation with Actors Mr Dulquer Salman and Ms Mrunal Thakur on forthcoming Film Sita Ramam on NDTV was something to cheer with audience waiting for the apt moment when they would watch the movie with no fear.

Having lost the will to write it would take time to essay the Delhi Script That May Not Spotless Bright.

Special mention made by judge Shailesh Garu of Ms Ashrita and Ms Hanisha. 

Manorama News featured Conclave 2022 where participants rued debate in some sections of society on trivial issues like hijab with no effort made to accept constructive criticism.

Al Jazeera in Talk To Al Jazeera featured conversation with Malawian President Mr Lazarus Chakwera where he signaled the intent that scribes won't be harassed, people would be free to criticise his govt and he spoke at length on Dawn Of New Malawi. Mr Chakwera term is till 2025 and we hope criticisms in all forms are accepted here. In NDTV India RBI Governor Mr Raghuram Rajan stressed on communal harmony and need to take all along. Mr Raghuram Rajan was RBI Governor from 2013 to 2016. TV 5 Kannada featured Namma Bahubali. We hope China-Taiwan unsettled ties are a thing of the past and hope both nations move on with enough enthusiasm. We root for peace and we root for openness. 

Sun News had a debate on state of economy which highlighted wholesale price index in double digit, industry, service sectors facing uphill task and crony capitalism that had crept in. Since Ukraine invasion the participants maintained things have got no better. We hope economy stays on track. 

Shia Politico Muqtada seeks overhaul of Iraq's political system and we hope he succeeds. 

News across channels reverberated with a beat to bring comfort to those facing floods and the urgency that peace be given a chance. We hope we are able to watch Jantantra Channel soon. Aviation Sector facing flak would be the news in the coming days.

Amarnath Jha Mausa (Uncle) Whom We Knew

Amarnath Jha Mausa (Uncle) Whom We Knew

Having born in early '40s Amarnath Mausa (Uncle) toiled hard entire life spanning eight decades with a word of wisdom for those who were on the margins of society. Married in Mishra Household of Balua Bazar in Bihar State in India  he rose from the ranks and his skills in public sector undertakings were well and truly recognised. He held different responsibilities and attended to his duties with due diligence. 

We have fond memories of visiting his household in the vicinity of Kali Bari in Safdarjung Enclave in New Delhi in the '70s  He later stayed with his family in Munirka as well which too was in the heart of Delhi. We can still recall the house inauguration ceremony in Kalkaji in the early '80s where we were invited. The ceremony took place in the evening with those in attendance coming from far and wide. Almost till the last breath of life he stayed in his Kalkaji flat having won admirers in the area who praised his simplicity.  In the course of his career he stayed put in places as varied as close to Badrinarayan, Shimla, Allahabad, Iraq, Kuwait and Delhi. He shared a camaraderie with my father Gouri Shankar Rajhans and they recalled the days spent right through the '60s to '90s and beyond. 

He was fond of visiting his village in Bihar probably going by the name Muret where he had ancestral house with the surroundings neat and tidy to say the least. He would often visit his daughter Neetu in Vadodra in Gujarat State in India with his two sons Bunty and Babloo staying in Greater Noida and Delhi. A man of clarity and candor his upright values helped him to stay steadfast in the face of challenges and his beliefs were rooted to the ground. Monotony should not set in led him to take assignments post retirement and he remained active all through his life. He would be remembered for the selfless service rendered and life of optimism that was well and truly raised.

Travails Of Air Travel Leading to Endless Babble

Travails Of Air Travel Leading to Endless Babble

On two days and on two occasions groceries were procured from City Store which led to no furore. On both occasions it were Mr Subodh and another gentleman who delivered the merchandise primarily comprising Aahar Flour, Walnuts, Almonds and Mother Dairy Milk and Curd in a nation where people are least heard. As a Gentleman from South India observed that One Religion One Language can't be imposed come what may be the reprobate agenda of host. We are a diverse nation with diverse outlook and let diversity be maintained with all retaining their hood. India's diversity would come good to take it to a comfort level; course correction would be applied if there are emergence of sizeable rebel. 

Exertions Of Air Travel Leading To No Moments Of Supple

Air travel is a misnomer with those arriving at the airport in Land Rover. Travails of air travel entail large number of formalities in a world where those past 80s having disdain for flights even those in their teens having a distaste for the same as patchy tales unravel and is the name of the game. Booking ticket online is irritation of sorts and tied in knots. First you search the flight, the flight duration having understood connectivity is in session. Ticket fare could surprise you and it could be bolt from the blue. Post digital payment you wait for PNR Disclosure which is as painful as being in touch with power broker. Once PNR is gained laying hands on boarding pass is as tiring as making a long distance call to a dame. Boarding pass with seat number comes for a price as across world airlines are folding up as as cost of running is thrice. 

Hiring Taxi To Airport

With boarding pass in hand you hire a taxi which would burn holes in your pocket and off and on caught in a traffic jam. With ride to airport accomplished it is time to get in a queue where security personnel checks details of ticket and he/she with little clue. With baggage screening done and frisking not shunned you wait in the lounge for boarding announcement to be made from the noteworthy gate. Once departure gate open you have to be again in the queue and post boarding you are amidst tantalizing moments that you rue. The flight takes its own sweet time to exit parking bay and once on runway it is ever confident its engines functioning won't turn grey. Once in the air the flight commander and deputy introduce themselves and at random give territory by territory that have been covered with flight wheels made of long lasting rubber. 

Drinks, Snacks To Descent That Should Not Be Rash

Drinks and snacks are served by cabin crew members who are wide awake and not in slumber. Once plane begins to descent announcement is made to put on the seat belt so that no passenger tilt including those who are heavily built. Once landing is done searching for parking bay is no fun. Once out of plane passengers heave a sigh of relief as they have antipathy to aviation fief. Once having collected baggage passengers venture outside where chances of touts are bright. Travelling is a mirage, opinions on the same are by no means charade. Travelling by air adds to greenhouse emissions in a world where students are tied to maths tuition. Be it Minnesota to a territory near Quetta air travelling is akin to payment of high rent in a season where people take to train/vehicle travelling carrying with them their chum-cum-servant. Time would come when air travelling would invite ridicule for the very reason that airline staff hasn't been to the swimming pool. Taking to public transport or engaging in walkathon would be the in thing as air travel would be restricted to those who can flash bling. Flaunting your status and taking a flight to a dream destination may be dearer as functioning airlines with neat balance sheets would be rarer.
