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.
