Reaching Kalkaji Temple In New Delhi; Visiting Delhi Cantt Railway Station In New Delhi
Leave home at 7.47 am a little over one week ago. Sight a large number of buses with some passengers fast asleep and I hope bus drivers don't repeat this act and don't showcase their fief. Go past board of Welcome to NDMC Area. Go past A K Roy Marg. Spot Delhi Jal Board Water Tanker whose services are employed even by banker. Spot school children destined to go to school looking cheerful as always and they have dreams to chase. Reach Sarojini Nagar Metro Station at 8.03. Frisking by CISF Personnel Mr Palaka. Announcements being made at regular intervals as in future I hope trains would pass through innumerable tunnels. Train with destination to Maujpur going to enter Platform One, wearing face mask is mandatory and here the reminder is one should not have rum.
Board Metro at 8.10. Reach Lajpat Nagar Metro Station at 8.18. Board Another Metro at 8.24. Reach Kalkaji Metro Station at 8.33 with enough dollops of glee. WH Smith Store personnel Mr Manish is kind enough to give change. Enter Kalkaji Temple Premises at 8.40. Leave Temple Area at 8.55. There is no pushing or shoving around. The amount of discipline maintained at Temple is commendable and this temple is witness to large scale arrivals. In Kalighat and Dakshineshwar Temples in Kolkata in West Bengal State In India people as well come in large numbers to put in a prayer or two, some trying to chase away their career blues. Having left Temple Premises I head to Kalkaji Metro Station. CISF Personnel Mr Amresh Paswan is kind enough to do frisking. At Customer Care a woman personnel from West Bengal is kind enough to give change and token having heard of Scotland Lake Leven. Board Metro and reach Lajpat Nagar Metro Station at 9.15 with some retaining their sheen. Board Another Metro at 9.28, reach Sarojini Nagar Metro Station at 9.36 with Opposition Benches looking to be in a fix. Hail auto at 9.40 with Automan Mr Om Prakash Nath at the wheels and reach home at 9.45 with some households in Safdarjung Enclave shinning with effervescent tiles.
Reaching Delhi Cantt Railway Station
On another day and on another endeavour head towards Delhi Cantt Railway Station having been familiar with city's traffic sensation Leave Home at 8.30. Spot buses with numbers 578, 588, 624 (A). Go through Shri Vinayak Mandir Marg. Go past A K Roy Marg. Reach Sarojini Nagar Metro Station at 8.44 with no sighting of furore. Mr Yadav does frisking. Delhi Metro Personnel Mr Kuldeep is very polite and hands over token and board Delhi Metro at 8.47 with some busy in academic pursuits in Roman. Go past Metro Stations like Bhikaji Cama Place, Sir M Vishweshwaraiah Moti Bagh, Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus and reach Delhi Cantt Metro Station at 9.05 with no tales of who gave or refused the bribe. In the Metro Ride announcement is being made of this train is under CCTV surveillance. Electronic footage is being recorded and perhaps this act may be rewarded.
As I step out of Metro Station I am greeted by board of Delhi Cantonment Wecomes You. We Strive For Better Life. Come across different set of vendors. Reach Kirbi Palace at 9.30 with some sanitation workers seeking a query or two on time and this very act may not elicit fine. Huge traffic jam from 9.30 onwards and traffic clears at 9.40 with none of the vehicle owners haughty. Reach Delhi Cantt Railway Station at 9.51 with sighting of spate of E-Rickshaws at entrance of station which is fun. Underneath the flyover there are different range of fruit vendors and here bananas galore in a city where little is known about New Zealand's fish parore. Tea vendor Mr Balbir makes black tea and here I meet another tea vendor Mr O P Sharma. Take tea at 10 am and these tea vendors are gem. Spot Gujarat Vehicle with number plate GJ 27DH 4018 whose occupants occasionally berate. Announcements are being made of different trains. Train to Sriganganagar via Rewari to arrive on Platform One, train to Sarai Rohilla from Jaipur to come on Platform Two carrying passengers in slew. Step Inside Platform One at 10.14 with station looking remarkably clean. Spot long freight train which runs at full speed even when it rains. On screen Bihar Tourism Ad. Pipla Cave Rajgir. Sujata Stupa Gaya. Valmiki Tiger Reserve West Champaran. Dungeshwari Temple Gaya with some familiar with Indonesia's Mount Jaya.
On screen there are different sets of reminders as well.
- Gates at railway crossings are for your safety. Do not cross them.
- Don't use bio toilet as dustbin.
- Accept sweet greetings. But don't accept sweet treats.
- Don't pull chain without valid reason.
- Become responsible train passengers. Don't waste water.
- For better journey train and station premises should be kept clean.
As I scan through these ads I am thinking about the path that one has to trudge to reach Vaishnodevi Temple in Jammu And Kashmir In India where in this State devotees put their prayers to Goddess as well to Lord Shiva. Thinking as well about Jaisalmer and Jaisalmer Fort where tourists gloat. Leave station premises at 10.38 and board DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) bus at 10.45 in a city where traffic thrive. Reach Dhaula Kuan at 11.03. Reach South Moti Bagh at 11.07 with little knowledge of US Saxophonist Herman. Spot Cycle Track in South Moti Bagh and wonder how many places in Delhi would host cycle track which are miles away from barrack. Board another bus at 11.11 and reach home a little later and this outing needed no tutor.
I would remain ever grateful to cycle rickshawman Mr Mujibul Rehman for fetching ride to Lord Hanuman Temple in Jamuna Bazar Delhi.
Best Wishes to Tennis Maestros Mr Roger Federer and Ms Serena Williams
