As Chennai Rajdhani Left Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin

As Chennai Rajdhani Left Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin

As Chennai Rajdhani left Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin on Wednesday, Nov 26 after 3.30 PM, little was known about trials and tribulations it would come across, and making way to South India destination from where would come the nation's new boss. With the first halt in Agra, it left this Uttar Pradesh city behind schedule by 15 minutes at 5.47, and Gwalior by 7.11 with little known about those who go by the name Mr Bevan. Having entered corridors of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh States, the train crew including driver and guard were enlisting praise. The train crew had not slept the previous night yet it was alert to proceedings somewhat watertight. Reasons that one could not divulge why they could not sleep in a nation where millions and millions sleep under open sky, and during day they are immersed in thoughts deep. One has to not travel too far from Delhi, in fact in Delhi itself one can be face to face with those hit hard by squalor conditions, and yet this city claims to be poles apart in lending breathtaking lessons in railways and aviation. Who is in dire need of such lessons when two square meal most cannot gain even after endless wait and oodles of patience. The messiness and grubbiness that millions are locked in demonstrates this nation has million miles to go before having timely set in for majority trouble free emancipated flow.

The Convoy Leaving From Jhansi And Balharshah

From Jhansi the departure time for this convoy 8.20 and from Bhopal 12.04 AM, behind schedule in both places where temperature dipped to a new low and some had to bow. From Nagpur the leaving time 5.37 (behind schedule 27 minutes), and Balharshah 8.21 (behind schedule 19 minutes), and some hoped the bone chilling cold which opens doors to bone of contention should not visit these territories in Maharashtra State irrespective of who has acquired B.Ed, and still carrying cola crate. Having reached Warangal in Telangana State, the convoy from here moved on at 11.47 (behind schedule 32 minutes), and from here the path to Chennai was expected to be littered with litany of woes as saturated tracks would have made the onward journey taxing, and not having immaculate track tuning. Surprise of surprises the convoy made way with ease, and locking a gratitude of 51 minutes as it reached Chennai Central at 8.09 PM against schedule time of 9 PM when visits do take place of railway officers in the capacity of GM. Sessions of disquiet that one was hoping in the face of elusive sleep for train crew did not turn out to be bothersome, and the convoy was well on course to invoke history as it traversed more than five provinces territories.

Having Left Home On A Friday

Having Left Home On A Friday

Having left Home on a Friday, thoughts are as well on Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church located in Safdarjung Enclave, which has a full house on Sunday with adherents coming in good numbers and exchanging pleasantries which are notably diverse. Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church goads one to believe the society churning here and there is as well in other parts of world including Kiev. Kiev has been facing the invasion heat for over three years, talking about a rescue plan engineers large dose of fears. When Kiev residents would be untangled from invasion predicament no one knows in a world where there is large scale liberty among those not in the frontline during summers to apply deos.  Those applying deos and holding office of profit orbit need to introspect whether this assault and breach of faith was ever required with millions getting homeless with no guess. The intrusion and offensive conduct of over three years in Ukraine makes the enlightened lobby take out gadgets to search if there is light at the end of infiltration tunnel, and this ramshackle hit to the last drop should be ephemeral.

Thoughts On Varied Subjects

With I having gone past this church and A 1 Wing market, the sum total of Nauroji Nagar bus stand evolution was tens of thousands vehicles whizzed past with no intention to pause. As series of buses are going to Sarai Kale Khan, there is 398 to Maharani Bagh, 623 to Shahdara, 442 to Nehru Place, 724 EXTN to Nehru Place, 479 Badarpur Border, and here ready reminder with those in boots should not shrink to ransack troops. Board 623 at 12.26 only to realise I got in a wrong bus with I on foot some one km away from INA, and the weather looking rude. As I reach Kidwai Nagar at 12.48,  there are some from minority section having largely understood the haze equation. Board bus number 460 at 12.55, and as there are thoughts on Guruvayur and Chavakkad beach (Kerala State In South India), this crumbling AQI lends the hunch that staying indoors should be day to day punch. As the bus goes past Tughlak Road, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Road, thoughts are on Ajmer Shatabdi train emanating from Ajmer and the city holding from time to time elaborate fair. Whether frisking is order of the day no one knows but there are some visitors to the fair going by the name Bose. We are in Udyog Bhawan by 1.05, and for floating traffic rumours one won't be slapped with fine, Go past Chelmsford Club, Jantar Mantar Road, Ashoka Road, and as thoughts turn to Kanchipuram (Visited In 2011), the Next To Parliament Street (NTPS) is all visible with no need to ring the bell for quorum. Deboard at 1.12 at Palika Kendra, and in no time reach Lord Hanuman Temple followed by snacks at Bhogal chole bhature with Mr Sunil, Mr Amit and Mr Satish having no axe to grind and traffic warriors they finding fine. Take milk tea from Mr Sitaram outlet, and thus begins the wait for bus from 1.59 with thoughts on Lord Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai (Maharashtra State) which is giant. 

Series Of Buses Pushing Their Way Through Palika Kendra

Series of buses like 166 Palika Kendra, 185 Central Secretariat, 604 Sarai Firni, RL 79 Dwarka Sector 23 and 729 Kapashera Border goes past this bus stand and my bus appearance looking like can't cut the mustard rank. Board 729 B at 2.20, and as it goes past FREE CHURCH, Ashoka Road YWCA, Talkatora Road, Mother Teresa Crescent, Shankar Road, Buddha Jayanti Park Road, thoughts are on Kalimpong, Darjeeling and Kolkata with some having delivered milk to those who have come from Noida. Reach Dhaula Kuan at 2.45, and never in the history of OPEN INDIA the traffic has been so blistering that for  barely 100 metres ride it takes over 15  minutes drive. There is a stationary bus to Sikar (Rajasthan State In West India), and another one coming Narnaul in Haryana State and as Dausa bus  (Rajasthan State) arrives I board 711 at 3.12 with no pressing need to ring the bell. My bus goes past South Moti Bagh with some coming from Airport, and likely to stay for a week when some would run their thoughts on Sir Creek.  Deboard at 3.30 with no need for passengers to disembark from their Audi to furnish ID.

This outing gave a measured reading of traffic on Delhi roads with some visitors who came to NTPS were from Tamil Nadu's Erode. This outing gave first hand look of a ride from Shankar Road which is adjacent to New Delhi Kali Bari, and reposed faith in a city despite rotting AQI some making plans to visit airport that is IGI (Indira Gandhi International). This outing was a must on a Friday, the day when beverages are brought for Guests in Middle Section Of Delhi in a tray.

Making Another Attempt To Reach Middle Section Of Delhi On A Thursday

Making Another Attempt To Reach Middle Section Of Delhi On A Thursday

The previous Thursday had the opportunity to step out of home with an intent to access Middle Section Of Delhi post noon when some Indians during this period croon. Leave home at 3.03, having realised that I was undeniably delayed, and during bus ride session one should not come across passengers who occasionally quiver and berate. Go past Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church and A 1 Wing Market, and with locks to the gates next to Shipyard House, perhaps dropping hints this space may have witnessed lasting sessions of touse. Having reached Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 3.15 there were some making a dash to get in bus number 392 with bus crew having Sector 62 Noida clue. Spate of buses going to Sarai Kale Khan, Badarpur Border (874), Noida (392), Safdarjung (569). When I board 568 there are thoughts on Chennai Rajdhani Train leaving on Wednesday and Friday from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin, and this convoy logs over 2000 kms to reach its destination, and this ably noted by personnel of news agency Reuters. There is a vehicle with Uttar Pradesh number plate criss-crossing Rampur to Delhi, and there are some women wearing burqa, and notable mention be made of those who come in troika. As usual deboard at Kidwai Nagar which is flanked by visitors from Sikkim in North East India with some thoughts on probable highest airport in the country in this territory, and those designated to undertake this mission have a disdain to visit not a well maintained eatery

Uttar Pradesh's Take On AADHAR Card Is Unfair

As series of buses like 605 A Delhi Gate, 588 Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, 725 Inderpuri, 433 Safdarjung, D0 08 Safdarjung hit the base of this bus stand, there is no word on bus to Parliament Street in this galvanising traffic heat. Board 540 (Central Secretariat) at 3.50 with the bus eager to go past Safdarjung Flyover, Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan with Tughlak Crescent and Tughlak Road expected in due course of time to have visitors German. Deboard at Rail Bhawan Metro Station at 4.03 with an ad of UP becoming world class AI hub, and this as I write makes no sense when State residents have been given AADHAR rub and bluff. According to a recent notification the AADHAR Card won't be accepted as birth proof for State residents, and this order would send alarming bells ringing and thereby showing the province inmates having no perfect tuning. 

Thoughts On Bong Insane, Gypsy Bong

As the endless wait for bus chips in, there are thoughts on Bong Insane and Gypsy Bong videos that cover gamut of delicacies of West Bengal, the State having some residents going by the name Mr Paul. There are thoughts on Gujarat (Somnath, Dwarka) as well with series of buses with no bruises going to Delhi Secretariat Well. With no hint when the aforementioned bus would appear I crossover to Krishi Bhawan only to realise 680 bus that I have taken won't go to Kidwai Nagar and I deboard at Udyog Bhawan with no hint on followers of Maharashtra's Mr Chavan. With Canara Bank Fulfilling Aspirations Of Young India Ad truly prominent, I wonder with series of public sector banks there would be awe-inspiring competition to be of first rank. From here board 548 CL at 4.23,  and as the bus goes past Sunehri Bagh Road and Tughlak Road, there are thoughts on trains going to South India through Balharshah fort. There are as well thoughts on Tuscany region in Italy which gives perfect dinning experience in the face of different eateries. As the bus is inching towards Kidwai Nagar, there are thoughts on Mitterrand Era in France with some visitors having appeared during that time from Cannes. Deboard at 4.37 with D0 42 going to Tughlakabad Village, and some buses going to Badarpur, and some here taking guided tour. Board 588 at 4.43 and deboard at 4.47, and reaching home at 4.59 with back to back traffic inviting no dime.

This was an outing that made it crystal clear that the road to Parliament Street is paved with no direct connectivity and creativity. Though I was not able to touch base of Connaught Place on this Thursday, I hoped another day, another outing I would find my way. This was an outing that brought in loads of fun despite I not getting creative cheers from Connaught Place chums. Let there be more outing to extract details of a city that at no point of time can get AQI Witty.

The Middle Section Of Delhi Accessed With City No Witness To Any Limelight, Perhaps To Come In August

The Middle Section Of Delhi Accessed  With City No Witness To Any Limelight, Perhaps To Come In August

Checking the seat availability in Chennai Rajdhani, supposed to leave from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin on December 3, the vacant slots for 3AC stood at 122, 2AC 3 and with none in First Class understanding the subtle hints dropped by those who take this train with no grouse. Why are the 3AC slots vacant on such a broad scale in a nation where on assembly poll carnival in State after State few tend to shift their guess and gauge. Assembly polls don't merit attention as all focus is on much relevant Delhi AQI section. AQI of 417 and beyond in the city of Delhi has defered the visit of large number of people from Kalimpong. Though Kalimpong residents may have put aside their visit to New Delhi, but I was in no mood to postpone my arrival to Middle Section Of City, which is much known to house headquarters of ED. As I deboarded at Palika Kendra (Connaught Place) on a particular Wednesday, with thoughts strewn around the meal I was supposed to take in a place having a footfall the recording of which is not opaque, the city in the face of incriminating AQI makes some visitors baulk. Go past Tourist Information Office which entertains queries from passengers coming from as distant places as Tunisia to Croatia, one in Africa and another in Europe which at some point of time may roll out carpet for Pope. Though not much in common except for the fact they are next to a coast with no worries on pollution and on this they don't have to look to day to day post.

Visiting Bhogal Eating Joint In Connaught Place

Go past Hanuman Lane and enter Temple premises only to come out under 12 minutes with I having sighted Banana vendor Mr Ram Prakash Yadav after a long interval, perhaps the last meeting of minds in 2019 when India hosted large number of visitors going by the name Andy. As I dig deep into exploring Connaught Place joints, I at the same time make a dash to Bhogal Eating Joint which is testament to the fact that having stood for over 30 years, the eatables from this place rings in enough cheers. Marking my attendance after 11 years, the staff is the same showing no urgency to gain fame. The place beckons visitors from distant corners of Delhi with eatables easy on pocket as affordable as one glass of yoghurt. Tucked in inner lanes of Connaught Place, this is a must visit centre that is open to visitors the entire calendar. Having taken the prized dish from here, I later set in search for black tea and here attempts were in vain as Connaught Place has few people who long for this set of tea and don't flee.

The Endless Wait For Bus To INA

Having reached Palika Kendra bus stand, there was statement of sorts from Indian Bank on jewel loan, education loan perhaps suggesting the entitlements would stay for eon. The bus I was waiting for did not turn up for full one hour and in came buses with numbers RL -77 Manglapuri, 729 B Indira Gandhi Airport Wing 3, 166 Nizamuddin Railway Station, 729 Kapashera Border, RL -77 EXTN Dwarka Sector 19, Pocket 2 RL -79 Dwarka Sector 23 and here silence is not eerie. Mind you, all these places are in the heart of Delhi where some precious ornaments some during night carry.  As one comes across riot control van, thoughts are on Gujarat (Somnath, Dwarka) and the State I have not been to for some years, and the one visited by the likes of Tavius. Here some could be seen speaking on phone, some making calls to Seoul Zone. With no likelihood of my INA bus turning up, I board 729 B at 2.30 with no need to dish out ID. The bus goes past Ashoka Road (Gurdwara Bangla Sahib), Pandit Pant Marg, Talkatora Road, Mother Teresa Crescent, Sardar Patel Marg, Hotel ITC Maurya, Hotel Taj Palace, and reaches Dhaula Kuan at 2.55 with number of vehicles on road appearing to be of immense size. As Jaipur (Jaipur Is Capital Of Rajasthan State In West India) is 295 kms from here, there is sighting of Arunachal Pradesh bus with number AR 11 C 3555. Two set of buses come from Ajmer ( Ajmer Is A Tourist Spot In Rajasthan Much Known For Khwaja Dargah). Board 588 which goes past South Moti Bagh, R K Puram, Hyatt and I getting down at Nauroji Nagar where people are weather eager. Reach home at 3.37 with no thoughts on Tasmania State in Australia, and having some residents going by the name Bruman.

This was an outing to Middle Section Of Delhi to try out eatables from Bhogal Chole Bhature in Scindia House. This was an outing that truly reflected the chains in which DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) was burdened with as for over an hour the scheduled bus to INA did not turn up with no likelihood in this season some would settle for doughnuts. This was an outing that mirrored the traffic temperament in and around Mother Teresa Crescent, and this would stay as it is despite Delhi hosting no big event.

Gaining Access To Middle Section Of Delhi

Gaining Access To Middle Section Of Delhi

Having boarded 776 bus from Nauroji Nagar, the ride was amidst spate of vehicles on Delhi's Ring Road and vehicular emissions are primarily to be blamed for AQI touching 500 fort. With winter having set in, AQI would pander to 500 fort underscoring the need that Delhi has to take a call irrespective of those who are going to get in a brawl. First and foremost Delhi should set an upper limit of 1000 cars getting registered in a year, and nothing beyond that with no fear. And those households with one car or more than that should not be involved in registration process, and for a frank 15 years they by no means be able to purchase a new one, and that should set in a new traffic churn. Vehicles registered outside Delhi should not be allowed to ply, and if they deem to do so, a cess of Rs 1,00,000 or above that should be levied each year, and on this powers that be lending all ear. More importantly a data base of all cars plying in the city should be prepared, and from only one designated petrol pump petrol/diesel be sold and that too 10 litres a month, and these ideas should pitch their tent. Car owner should have a certificate listing the particular petrol pump from where the gasoline is to be disbursed, and thereby making it impossible to get gasoline from other petrol stations even if someone is driving reverse. Petrol stations should have a data on gasoline disbursed each day to vehicle owners thereby making it unattainable for any vehicle to get gasoline beyond permissible limit. More should be forewarned that this toxic air is adding to the chaos and things can't look better unless vehicles are not taken away from plying ladder. Toxic air Delhi can get rid of if the number of vehicles on roads drastically, and not dramatically, drop by 50 per cent and more vehicle owners giving their assent.

Thoughts On Mayurbhanj In Orissa

As vehicular emissions were huge on that Wednesday, the bus took a left turn with directions to India Gate, Connaught Place, INA Market, and I deboarded at Kidwai Nagar at 11.48 with some members from minority section having steady traits. Be it a woman in a burqa or a man in a skull cap what thoughts went through their mind as they waited for the bus with no likelihood of they being slapped with a traffic fine. There were others from North East India and I coming across a journo from Mayurbhanj in Orissa State, the very State that has pliable connectivity to South India from Khurda with some known to clear files in RUDA (Rural Non-Farm Development Agency). Series of buses going to Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin  (794A) as well to Kashmere Gate ISBT (502), as well to Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (588) with no thoughts on EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines). There were as well DO08 and DO22 buses going to Safdarjung and the staff looking quite young. The said journo reported to AIR (All India Radio) and he dropping hints that the Present President Of India too hailed from Mayurbhanj, a place docile and with no issues like pollution and weather permission. There was one gentleman from Bhatinda in Punjab making enquiries about buses going to Jantar Mantar to be part of an agitation linked to BSNL section. Here thoughts were on Jammu And Kashmir and down the decades tourists from Spain to Guatemala would be quite keen.

The Ride To Delhi's Middle Section In The Backdrop Of Haze Equation

As one had to wait for the bus for long, in came 460 and 433 (C) buses choc-a-bloc with passengers and I looked at series of e-rickshaws parked nearby seeking passengers who on that particular day would give Sarojini Nagar Market a try. Board 460 bus at 12.20 and go past Safdarjung Flyover,  Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan with no thoughts on those who reside in house number 147 in Durban. Go past Safdarjung Madarsa, Tughlak Crescent, Tughlak Road with no word yet from India Gate Port. There are directions to IGI Airport, Connaught Place and Vijay Chowk, with the bus going past Krishna Menon Marg, Sunehri Bagh Road and Udyog Bhawan, the very places in the heart of Delhi and all in thick blanket of haze battery. As one goes past India Gate, Chelmsford Club and Ashoka Road (Sanchar Bhawan), the time to access Parliament Street is 12.38 with some in SBI New Delhi Branch likely to make calls to Mr Gate. Go past FREE CHURCH and deboard at Palika Kendra at 12.40, the very moment when none can get haughty. The ride good and environs need to get prude.

Making Attempt To Access Middle Section Of Delhi Again

Making Attempt To Access Middle Section Of Delhi Agan

Having spoken to Mr Parmanan of Shiva Murugan (Good Stay) in Rameswaram (Rameswaram Is A Holy Spot In Tamil Nadu State In South India), the conversation veered towards my likely visit to this holy town where devotees do visit on a Sunday, the day Caribbean nations take a call on who would take the crown. Caribbean nations may take the heat as far as weather is concerned, and here host of leaders are well aware of how to bring unfolding proceedings under their firm grip with no blip. As for the next available visit to Rameswaram,  nothing can be said for sure as cyclones in some sections of world are expected to make a landfall with a roar. For visiting Rameswaram one needs to take a train from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin, and most comfortable would be Chennai Rajdhani going all the way to Chennai with available seats two days ago on Wednesday showing 131 vacant slots in 3AC, 28 in 2AC and 14 in 1AC with buzz that fewer take this caravan for South India Winter Odyssey. South does not hand out invite on a platter, and one has to better watch out for meals to mesmering spell of weather that on occasions take away the rescuing ladder making some bother. 

Taking Public Transport From Nauroji Nagar 

With no definite plan to visit Rameswaram, I set out on a Wednesday to gain access to Middle Section Of Delhi again presuming the gates would be locked next to Shipyard House where on random occasions people browse. Leave home at 11.23 AM and go past security personnel Mr Ram Kumar Singh whose ancestors at some point of time would have been The King. As I go past Subway (Timings 6 AM to 10 PM), there is an ad of Excitel Broadband in Nauroji Nagar bus stand ushering in the need to drive safely in a city that is marooned in traffic hourly. As Haryana Roadways bus originating from Gurugram one sights, there are reminders that tens of thousands of people in this very place sleep under open sky the entire winter when few care for them during this calendar. Similar picture of inconvenience can be seen at different platforms of Bhopal Station in Madhya Pradesh State when tens of thousands sleep for hours endlessly waiting for trains with no hints, no wings. As the wait at bus stand shows no sign of receding, the buses that go through this territory are namely 479 Badarpur Border, 724 Nehru Place, 724 EXT Nehru Place, 776 Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and these very places in the heart of Delhi where Overseas Delegations do visit carrying $ and € in more than double digit. As I board bus number 776 at 11.40 the bus crawls given the spate of vehicles on ring road having seen Snack Like A Champion. American Quality Pistachios board. Here thoughts are on Ajmer and Jaisalmer (Ajmer And Jaisalmer Are Tourist Attractions In Rajasthan State In West India), the places that hold year to year fair. Year to year fair that rings in a good footfall, with visitors expected to take beverages that makes them understand the nuances of visiting cinema theatres during Autumn And Fall.

Visiting Middle Section Of Delhi

Visiting Middle Section Of Delhi

On a Friday had the opportunity to access and explore middle section of Delhi primarily Connaught Place where tax notices are bothering some, with some eager to settle this despite no word yet from AGM. Left Home at 10.07 AM and go past Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church, go past Shipyard House where people have no grouse. Security personnel Mr Shiv Narain is kind enough to inform that the way to Nauroji Nagar from back side has been done away with in the face of locks to the gate in a city where after witnessing hour to hour traffic some berate. Reach Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 10.18 with slew of buses going to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, the very place which has a fascination to receive and deliver trains to South India destinations. Board bus number 568 with thoughts on Tuglaqabad and Ballabgarh, prime places in vicinity of Delhi always in a functional mode, and where passengers from local trains deboard. Deboard at Kidwai Nagar and board bus number 548 (A) at 10.30 with spate of vehicles I had witnessed on ring road some moments ago looking crazy.  Go past Safdarjung Flyover,  Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandi Bhawan with my bus on Aurobindo Marg with no information sheet released from Durban. 

Go Past Tughlaq Crescent, Go Past Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Road

Go past Tughlaq Crescent, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Road, Krishna Menon Marg, Sunehri Bagh Road, Udyog Bhawan with some sporting fabric of Raymond. India Gate is in thick blanket of haze and as one goes past Rail Bhawan and Chelmsford Club, there are directions to Rajiv Chowk (Named After Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi), GPO and Connaught Place hub. Reach Ashoka Road at 10.42 and Parliament Street at 10.43 with SBI New Delhi branch having visitors who can walk in free. Deboard at 10.45 at Palika Kendra and walk past Indian Bank, Kwality Restaurant (Since 1940) and here none getting haughty and pitching their tent. With shutters down in Regal and Rivoli Theatres one can presume avid cinema goers are missing exciting times with some vendors telling me that one can settle for other theatres like Plaza, and with little word on event management company Truza. Go past DELL Exclusive Store and reach Shivaji Stadium at 10.55 and I gaining entry to Naveen Tea shop in Gole Market roundabout and this looking fine.

Leave Tea House And Come Back To Connaught Place Again

Leave Tea House at 11.10 and procure set of pens from Janata Book Depot. Go past H Block Connaught Place, and come across ad of Experience Bengal. The Sweetest Part Of India. As I go past Indira Chowk which is named after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, I deem fit to board bus from Super Bazar and henceforth take 548 (C) and go past Jeevan Bharti premises and reach Palika Kendra which offers different choices. Go past FREE CHURCH, go past Rafi Marg, Central Secretariat with India Gate still looking to be wrapped in smog sheet and commuters taking the heat. As I go past Sunehri Bagh Road and reach Tughlaq Road  at 11.53, the Bharat-ASEAN Maitri Park may at some point of time throw light on Sir Creek. Go past Safdarjung Madarsa, Safdarjung Airport and I getting down at Kidwai Nagar at 12.01 and here no weather to decode and some finding this to be fun. Board auto and reach home at 12.12 with Mr Raghubir at the helm with series of stores in Central Market almost ready to ring the bell.

This was an outing where I came across ad of Canara Bank Fulfilling Aspirations Of Young India and summing the sentiments across length and breadth is no trivia. This was an outing when none of the vehicles I came across pressed on accelerator, and moderate speed on moderate roads of Delhi may not bring in the need to take lessons from traffic tutor. This was an outing when India Gate back and forth was unable to take away the cauldron of obscurity, and this would stay as it is till winter battery. This was an outing that kept the line of communication open in a city that plays host to visitors primarily German. This was an outing that truly captured the winning moments of a city despite no thundershowers and we expect the same after a long pause.

Visiting Southern Section Of Delhi

Visiting Southern Section Of Delhi

With an intent to explore Southern Section Of Delhi, left home on a Thursday, the day when gifts are brought in a tray, the very day when none were dissecting exit poll and this exercise rarely aligned to in Seoul. Left Home at 9.05 AM, and came across fruit vendor Mr Kalu, who goes on a long vacation post Diwali when firecrackers are burst akin to an act of daredevilry. With AQI touching almost 500, the noble act would have been to skip firecrackers and by no means across border come in contact with hackers. Hackers can turn world upside down and this known to personnel of Foreign Ministry who don't frown. Foreign Ministry personnel have been visiting establishments in Congo to Coartia, and on a different plane on occasions getting familiar with developments in Eurasia. As for my stepping out of home, I went past Gate Number 3 Safdarjung Enclave untouched by moolah wave. Moolah wave solicited the required votes in one State, a State which down the decades would stay as still as nil reportage on cash dough in media.

Go Past Mali Mission, Accessing Africa Avenue

Ambience school bus I came across and as I went past Central Market, the very place where at one point of time the people used to carry water in a bucket. Not much is known about running water supply in Delhi, the city that welcomes with open arms smog yearly, hitting as well the followers of singer Nelly. Go past Green Fields School where parking attendant asked one gentleman to vacate parking space, and surroundings in the city evoking less praise. Go past Embassy Of The Republic Mali, quite familiar with uncertain passage this nation is witness to, day by day developments bringing the clue. With directions to Chanakyapuri and JNU all spelled on a board, it was time to access Africa Avenue at 9.18, the very moment when some open their canteen. Here I spot car with number plates RJ 13 CF 4718 and moments later AR 02 A 5221, signifying visitors do come from Rajasthan and Arunachal and in these two places there be no need for scientific instrument TEOM. There are buses 610 Central Secretariat Special and again 610 Parliament House Annexe Special where on a visit visitors do get dazzled.

Reaching VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE 

Access Church Road at 9.23, Service Road at 9.25 with thoughts on Jaisalmer where women don't drink and drive.  At 9.37 reach SRI VENKATESWARA MANDIR MARG, the very place where devotees come in large numbers to put in a prayer for new administration in New York. Hope the Mayor Office is lend all the help to let the New Mayor attend to city needs and in due course taking no reverses and no administration heat. Reach IIT Hostel bus stand at 9.40, Ber Sarai at 9.45 and entering SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE in Sri Vedanta Desika Marg at 9.48 with little known about Maharashtra's Region Beed (Maharashtra Is A State In West India). On the way back from Temple reach IIT Hostel at 10.12, with some having milk tea which should not make them yell. Mind you, PWD vans had sprinkled water, and that makes the passage to R K Puram slippery and dicey, and one has to be on guard and this thoroughfare is not easy. 

Boarding Bus From R K Puram

From Sector 3, R K Puram board bus number 544 at 10.23 with too many vacant seats inside, perhaps suggesting for longish journey passengers need to take requisite diet. Go past Bhikaji Cama Place, Sarojini Nagar Depot and M Block with no word yet on investment options in Duko. There is a board highlighting way to Safdarjung Railway Station, the very place that down the generations would welcome guests from Asia/Africa who would be saddled with enough patience. The bus goes past Mukherjee Public School jumping red light, and this is not an understatement that traffic viloation here is an inbuilt rule. From SREE VINAYAKA MANDIR MARG the ride is minus speed and I deboard at 10.42 knowing fully well the city needs to break up from perplexing smog feed. 

This voyage to Southern Section demanded oodles of patience and perseverance as one had stepped out on a day when haze had hit the city hard and railways finding difficult to locate yard. One should presume the winter would stay this course, and for any forward movement the vehicular emissions would have to step back irrespective of intake of German Gose.

High Cost Of Living, Huge Cost Incurred to Keep India Home Engine Revving

Having Arrived In New Delhi, the first piece of news that one came across was the urgency shown by Capital Administrators to take a call on Circle Rate in a city which is as well home to weighty personnel of IT and ED who occasionally appear in Govt News Channel DD (Doordarshan). This Govt Channel few watch as it is out and out belligerent to those in Opposition Space who on rumours have less appliances to dodge. Already households in Delhi City are paying huge house tax, and any circle rate revision would make their aspirations from medium to long term getting axed. Aspirations to send their wards to best school in town to getting the right dose of milk that would not make them gain pound. Aspirations that the milk would have a broad appeal as prices would freeze, and from those in the lowest ladder and those roaming tiger, they all would be able to access milk with ease.

No Pressing Need To Revisit Circle Rate 

Where is the pressing need to revisit circle rate as urban chaos the administrators can't mitigate. From power purchase to water nudge with a punch coming at a steep cost and here powers that be want to show they are the real boss. Real boss to feign ignorance that in Hindi Heartland there are Provinces/States where almost 94 lakh (9.4 million) households have net monthly income below Rs 6,000 (below $68) and no amenable tales to recall from Houston. Houston Tales would have been all about rock solid income to pay power/water bills that give uninterrupted thrill. Houston Tales may come in due course of time when gossip won't chime.

High Cost Of Living Involving Power/Water Tariff And Commute In Surroundings That Are Not Arid

Had power tariff been sweet and water coming in requisite fleet evoking no reprimand, letting this argument set in that cost of living had by all means tanked. Cost of living from cummute that induces no sessions of cribbing would have made the city stay look wonderful having sighted no double. With nothing of that sort happening, AQI (Air Quality Index) BLUES hitting each and every resident who is travelling, the AQI Ascent should have mattered the most as Delhi all through 365 days plays host. Instead of Circle Rate Revelation, the Resolution should have been the resolve on AQI which is hitting the sky. The AQI IMBROGLIO and the echo keeping the city in a perpetual state, and here noteworthy would be the next officialdom take. AQI skyrocketing to 500 and making Delhi carry the tag of most polluted in urban landscape which no city from Central America to Africa would like to ape. Central America to Africa cities may have population reclined to a proposition that fewer resources and fewer inmates demanding the same, the battle is half won if distribution of the cake is done by those with no bias and appear large-hearted and chums with sentiments pious.

Grand City Of Delhi With Grand Gardens

In The Grand City Of Delhi Which Has Grand Gardens, the conversation is all about the milk which looks to be an exercise dripping in bilk. The screw that is added to the middle class not in meddlesome nature is that each pack of milk comes for Rs 59 ($0.67), and herein lies the rub and fine. It was below Rs 30 about nine to 12 years ago and these years have not thrashed milk ego. With milk getting dearer and veggies making holes in wallet, the home budget has been turned upside down with no word yet who would be the new King taking the crown. Milk by all estimates would remain around Rs 59 or inch upwards despite some claiming New GST (Goods And Services Tax) Bulletin having the aura of invincibility that prices could drop from as unheard of places as Delhi's Neighbour Hindon. In Hindon there is an air base and equally having residents with milk craze. What the middle class in our country is to do with high reigning prices of milk which one can't afford to have in bulk. Are we to believe the milk is not suited for middle class and only Kings And Queens can have a blast?

Let the milk slide to a rate affordable to huge sections as this would engineer cushion. Any drop and any sop would be welcome as milk is a necessity for those including Tennis Icon Ivan. We are waiting for days which should not turn to years which one can't trace when milk prices would step down from arrogance pedestal, and would be in least double digit, and some thing that would be reverential.

Having Arrived In New Delhi, Time Ripe To Head Towards Kashmere Gate Early

Having Arrived In New Delhi, Time Ripe To Head Towards Kashmere Gate Early

Having arrived in New Delhi, on a particular day, had the fortune of stepping out of home with some sparing thoughts on Zohran Zone.  Zohran Zone may be up against challenges but with a fair leadership at helm it may be able to ring in desired changes. Desired changes that does world of good for the common man on street who has been with no break facing inflation heat. Desired changes that rein in irritants running around day to day household chores that are fierce and come with an added force. As for the intent to head towards middle sections of Delhi, I left Safdarjung Enclave home at 7.32 AM and reaching Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 7.38 with definite moments spent on figuring out bus traits. Bus traits where rides in the city have been wonder of sorts for women as free commute is provided by DTC ( Delhi Transport Corporation) whose staff during noon is quite busy. Board ISBT Kashmere Gate bus at 7.43 with some inside public transport carrying feature phone which has properties that can stay for eon. Go past Joyalukkas store, go past Andrews Ganj, go past Gupta Market, go past Lajpat Nagar where people are eager. Go past Nehru Nagar (This Place Has Been Named After First Prime Minister Of India Jawaharlal Nehru), and here there is collection of people anticipating no trouble. Thinking about Kalighat Temple, Dakshineswar Kali Temple in Kolkata (Kolkata Is Capital Of West Bengal State In East India) on which there are immaculate weather data. Go past Gurdwara Bala Sahib, go past ISBT Sarai Kale Khan with some keen to know the running status of Kolkata Trams. Iconic Kolkata Trams have been providing easy passage with fares under control for even personnel of Bengaluru software company going by the name PEOL. 

Go Past Indraprastha Park, Go Past Shanti Stupa

Go past Indraprastha Park, go past Shanti Stupa, go past I P Depot at 8.20 with ring road circular firm on positioning of NCAER (National Council of Applied Economic Research) and Indira Gandhi Stadium with notable mention having been made about malfunctioning EVM (Electronic Voting Machine).  As the bus goes past National Gandhi Museum and Raj Ghat, this ring road stretch in the heart of Delhi is long with no calls made to West Bengal's Kalimpong. Reach Kashmere Gate at 8.33 with imprudent and brazen SIR trying to deny one community voting rights and henceforth making them tied to a tree. Muslims are as well part of India as Hindus and Christians, and where is the running need to keep them tucked away from poll orbit just on the premise that they are from a different religion having enough cushion. 

 Visiting Lord Hanuman Temple

Having reached Kashmere Gate, enter Lord Hanuman Temple at 8.40 and come out by 9.10 when in some schools this is a recess time and some are able to dodge challenges with a pen. The wait for auto is an indomitable challenge and able to get hold of one by 9.30 with directions to Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram looking pretty. Mind you Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram are part of NCR (National Capital Region) Of Delhi with traffic movement here having a sizeable tally. Go past Rajghat Depot, and with slew of bikes on the way to Kashmere Gate and on return ride, the traffic momentum is minus euphoria and looking to be a spectacle of inevitable fight. Having reached ITO at 9.37, there are directions to India Gate, Pragati Maidan and Rajiv Chowk, with road choc-a-bloc with vehicles of all shapes, sizes and colour with little thoughts on Indian town Teok. As one goes past The Institute Of Chartered Accountants Of India structure, thoughts are on Hampi and Anjanadri Betta (Lord Hanuman Birth Place) in Karnataka State in South India where trains go from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Station, with outbound passengers required to have enough patience.

Akbar Road Having Moments Of Gaiety

As the auto went past Mandi House, Lalit Kala Akademi and Ferozeshah Road at 9.46, Raisina Road was accessed at 9.50 with Akbar Road inviting no trouble and having moments of gaiety. From Tughlaq Road to Laxmi Bai Nagar the commute lasting little over five minutes, and here some having doughnuts. Sarojini Nagar came at 10.05 and I reaching home at 10.10 with rude voter list inputs' revision least likely to have a newsworthy trend. This was a ride to a place in the heart of Delhi, with submissions made that traffic diversions do occur when one comes across unfathomable VIP MOVEMENT pressure cooker. This was a ride resonating with a desire that Delhi be the one which gives employment to people from Hindi Heartland in more than a dozen. This was a ride that some take to get a coveted assignment in a city where there is hour to hour AQI measurement. The AQI spike mirrors the need to contain the number of vehicles that hit the road each day, consistent with the stand India is young and here on festive occasions people pray.

Having Arrived In New Delhi, Time To Look Back On South India Odyssey

Having arrived in New Delhi, the moments spent in South were truly gratifying and uplifting. With no worries like painful AQI (Air Quality Index), the stay from Chennai Depot to Rameswaram, Kanniyakumari and Madurai with some dialing numbers to Santiago was something to recall, and better part of journey looking splendid and India truly having world class chess kit. The ride from Delhi was fabulous and entire stay divine enough to spare thoughts that here in this part of country no one gets garrulous.

Talk of clear air and that is in surplus from Rameswaram to Kanniyakumari with Madurai having none of the silence eerie. These are wonderlands, having visitors as well from Riyadh Sand.

Chhath Festival And The Dispatch From This Planet

Chhath Festival And The Dispatch From This Planet

As Chhath Festival took wings, the caravan which was all about decisive faith in Sun God, and particularly in Hindi Heartland, the sentiment was too buoyant to sum up in one day. From scores of ghats to ponds at home, the gathering needed no goading to stick to rituals, straightforward and plain to the last mile. The gathering, running into millions, peppered with a prayer that dispatch from this planet be all about awakening and steady resolve.

Allegiance To Sun God

Allegiance To Sun God is the sum total of life journey all through 365 days, all through 365 teeming centuries nipping in the bud distinction on lines of caste, creed and colour. Bihar or for that matter the Indian Diaspora abroad saw assimilation of people from different faith, out to do a good deed. From whichever locale the human settlements emerge, for a staunt devotee adding paean to this festival is as enthusiastic and impassioned exercise as carrying on day to day chores. For a steadfast adherent nothing better can illustrate the connect with Sun God than these four fullsome days in a row. 

Fervent Belief

Fervent belief is ever since human race turned to Sun God to seek directions, the chapters of interest in human cycle has remained honest and homely. Conclusive proof has emerged associating the depths of exploration in whichever terrain it has been tried to expansive and heroic faith in Sun, the prime mover of life on earth.

Conversation With Sun God

Conversation with Sun God, which is truly a day to day affair, takes humongous quantum during these days with the feedback truly amazing. Correspondence with consent with the  Almighty Sun would continue to be breathtaking innings, mirroring the craving and passion of world stock.

The Ride From Bhopal To Delhi This Very Month

The Ride From Bhopal To Delhi This Very Month

With ride from Bhopal having commenced at 3.37 (PM), the sighting of three parallel tracks, and they need not be necessarily manned by those sporting turban, I was in Bhopal Shatabdi Train which had a fair share of travellers urban. We were in the thick of train traffic and that partly  explained the evolution of three tracks, spread over that patch of land in a nation where there are fans of Tennis Icon Ivan. In tennis tourney, the journey so far had not been that sweet for India, and here there are adherents who have mastered the nuances of this sport and in coming months hopefully there would be awe-inspiring stories to quote. Tennis dictum is all about the teamwork and unity during preparatory stages, and once on the field raring to go, and having the wherewithal to come out of cages. Cages that kept you down and out, cages that made you gain more pound.  Instead of weighty pound you need to be fighting fit and and have a firm grip on the game and be a season to season hit. 

Underpasses Are A Picture Of Delight

Coming to train ride, the first underpass was sighted at 4.28 and we were home to proceedings where traffic gridlock one need not stare and berate. These underpasses across India  are a picture of delight where traffic is not sentenced to proceedings blight. There were spate of houses in and around Ganj Basoda coming at 4.37, and here the convoy slows down and stops with no need to run through poll sops. Poll sops are meant to change the arithmetic of a contest if there aren't arrival of a new guest. At 4.40 came across a water tanker carrying the all important message "Water Is Life" and here none of the rumours thrive. At 4.42 thinking about curd served in Hotel Chitra in Vivekananda Kendra Campus in Kanniyakumari, a place well deliberated in other cafeteria for  affable staff and this noting made by followers of another Tennis Icon Steffi Graf. 

Thoughts On UP, MP And Bihar States

Thoughts are on States of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and they having plateaued, and they need to hang on to a new vision and dude. Vision that let them generate employment at home as well as cleanliness not in clone as for better part they have been in dire straits zone. For these three States, introspection is of import as floating population nudged with currency notes is a hostile act that should be shown the door. These three States need to have in close quarter governance gear with sizeable residents waking up to a new income fair.

Thoughts On North East States

Bina Station comes at 5.05. As  Gorakhpur  Lokmanya Terminus goes in opposite direction carrying passengers even from North East States, the region that on occasions gets a bad Press, there is a need to unveil a new blueprint with palpable hint. Blueprint that makes them take pride in the fact that they are part of New India coming at regular interval with effervescent idea. Blueprint that gives them the freedom to propose with a rose. From Bina the road distance that one would have to trudge to Jabalpur is unbelievable 279 Kms and there is a train engine with number 27659 that won't invite fine. 

Jhansi, Morena, Dholpur Accessed Giving No Stress

At 5.20 there are still three tracks running and this is a new spectacle entirely beaming. Thinking about Meriba Mineral Water available in large stretch of Tamil Nadu and how in South there is a strong media group Eenadu. This group is resilient and sturdy enough to wage different battles with little known about cloud business phone evatel.  Lalitpur comes at 5.40 with some hooked to cell in places as distant as Seoul in entirety. Jhansi comes at 6.40, Morena 8.20, Dholpur 8.41, Agra Cantt 9.22, Mathura 10.05, Palwal 11.15, some moments later Tuglaqabad and hope all these places have homes that dispense handsome dividends and rewards. Hazrat Nizamuddin Station comes at 11.37, Shivaji Bridge 11.43 and New Delhi railway station at 11.48 in the very city where there is Republic Day Parade and on festive occasions people carry their plates.

The Ride From Bhopal With Thoughts On Bihar Not Looking Tall

The Ride From Bhopal With Thoughts On Bihar Not Looking Tall

Having Arrived In Bhopal, the stay was short, and with Shatabdi Train Ticket gained, it was time to leave lodge located in Hamidia Road, with no urgency to recall at one point of time this was a tank port. Tank port to keep the tempers down, and with embers from violence partly suggesting the art of taking the crown. Crown at the cost of peace and the crown which the human race by and large tease. We hope this locale in Bhopal is free from disturbances and has all the right aces. The advantage with Hamidia Road lodge is you get to have authentic milk, and with prices floating above the rate that no one can cherish, the price tag is somewhat Irish. The price for milk thrill does not fit in the budget of most households in India, and the picture appearing in Hindi Heartland is no different, and this piece of news is by no means trivia.

Almost 9.4 Million Family In Bihar Have Monthly Income Below Rs 6,000

When reports emerge that almost 94 lakh (9.4 million) family in Bihar have monthly income below Rs 6,000 (below 68 dollars), the reigning prices of milk is a dreadful sight and here powers that be believe the contest between those who can pay for milk and those who can't pay is equivalent to having a level playing field to fly kite. With income, and that too the sum total below Rs 6,000, one can believe that none of these 9.4 million family would be comfortable enough to consume milk, and if they desire to have the same they would have to furnish identity trick. With political terrain as uncertain as in Bihar, it is a powder keg, with little known when these 9.4 million family would have authentic milk, much having arrived to the destination from nutritional supplements for livestock going by the name trilk. Milk prices to date have not shrunk, and to expect that it would abate is a mirage,  and equally true for those who go by the second name Dewage.

Reaching Bhopal Station

Coming to Bhopal, with all bags packed, I left for Bhopal railway station and here some porters' conduct suggested they had taken lessons in aviation. The platform I was in from where Bhopal Shatabdi was to leave series of announcements for different set of trains could be heard with no worries on lower berth. Bhopal Gwalior Intercity Express, Bina-Bhopal-Bina, Gorakhpur- Lokmanya Terminus, Bhopal- Jaipur Express were the trains expected to touch Bhopal, a city known to host illuminaries who don't get into a brawl.

Bhopal Shatabdi Leaves At 3.37

Bhopal Shatabdi train leaves at 3.37 PM, with sighting of three tracks much before and after Sanchi, and with occasional expansive green cover, and here notable mention be made of real  estate guys going by the name Duguerre. Students Of Oriental School on board with some submitting that Bhopal Station not having keen to trace developed platforms, and here railways need to get the platforms reset even if the personnel attending to the tasks are plump. Hindi Heartland and here some sections need to imbibe lessons on cleanliness done with astuteness. By the time Sanchi was reached it was 4.07, with All India Radio giving no hints on who were real Kings in the Theatre Asian. Kings and their caravan have to set aside VIP MOVEMENT and attend to task that bring relief to over 1.5 billion people who occasionally quiver.

Chhath Festival is the most pious one on earth. The rituals observed, the silence theatre visited, it is that Festival that invokes connect with THE SUN in a truly amazing way. SUN GOD is the sole GOD that human force can sight and pray. It is a celebration rooted in prime visibility of SUN all through 365 days, all through 365 years, all through 365 trillion centuries - and the glory and the gift that SUN endows on each one of us is truly mystifying. 

Endless Tales Have Emerged

Endless tales have emerged illustrating the true, rich tenets of SUN, and the four days are meant to share space with SUN, with faith all evolving and enduring. This festival has pan India appeal, primarily taking each and everyone along; Bihar Buzz led to Hindi Heartland and later to almost entire country, and specks of this festival illumination heard and seen in world quarters where people of Indian Origin Reside. Bihar (Bihar Is A State In East India) took the lead in letting this festival keep its date with the last man on street, and with adherents multiplying each year, and with SUN THE PRIME MOVER OF LIFE ON EARTH, the line up and wish list grew at same pace.

Eco-Friendly And Ever Evolving And Not Ebbing

It is eco-friendly and ever evolving, and with each passing year the number of adherents having multiplied, mirroring the sentiment that life is a carnival to be celebrated each hour.

Having Reached KSR BENGALURU Railway Station, Time Ripe To Leave For Bhopal In Madhya Pradesh With No Hesitation

Having Reached KSR BENGALURU Railway Station, Time Ripe To Leave For Bhopal 

Having reached KSR BENGALURU Railway Station, it was time to figure out from which platform Bhopal bound Bengaluru Rajdhani would leave, with no design to unfurl an agenda that on train connectivity I should get hour to hour brief. Hour to hour brief I was least curious to get in as all thoughts were drawn towards the upcoming train ride with upper berth and this was no flying kite. Upper berth and what sort of passengers I would come across as some days train rides are sum total of being locked in a kiosk. Kiosk from where one can't get out and here chances don't sprout. Kiosk that signals series of irritants and on occasions haughty guys losing their wear tear and patience.

Tamil Nadu State Inching To Get To The Big Club

Having parked myself on Platform Eight, and there were trains to Chennai departing from here, a city which is known to hold city to city fair. Chennai shouldn't lose heart that Google did not deem fit to take a decision to pour $15 billion spread over years in Tamil Nadu, and instead opted for Andhra, and Tamil Nadu State can take solace from the fact that it is the second most industrialized one. Tamil Nadu, and for this State, investors have a series of ambitious plans lined up to infuse more investments on the back of policies that are farsighted and prescient, and in the years to come, more would pitch their tents. Perhaps sooner than later Tamil Nadu would have the honours of being the most advanced urban theatre, propelling more investors to chip in with some known to get fascinated by Tripura (North East State In India) Festival going by the name Tring. Tamil Nadu is known to lay out red carpet for even those set of investors who left in a tearing hurry only to return to pump in more, and here investors taking much-publicised enchanted tour.  

Bag From BOYS Saravana Stores In Rameswaram

Coming to Bengaluru Railway Station, I had to trudge to Platform Eight and was not in a discomfort of sorts as the bag that I had secured from BOYS Saravana Stores located in 12, Big Bazaar Street Rameswaram came handy and this new acquisition quite trendy. I would remain ever grateful to Mr K Soundar, Mr K Saravanan, the forces behind BOYS Saravana Stores, for letting me have this one and they were real chums.  From Platform Eight there were series of trains going to Belagavi and other destinations in Karnataka. Mind you, there are four set of trains going to Belagavi and they go by the train numbers 17326, 26752, 20653, 16508 and they leave from Bengaluru between 6.45 AM and 10.20 PM displaying steady traits. 

Insights On India By A Gentleman

As I boarded Bengaluru Rajdhani, lower berths were taken by a couple from Bengaluru on a visit to Hyderabad which shares space with no ambiguities with Secunderabad. And the gentleman could recall master pieces of V S Naipaul like India : A Million Mutinies Now, A House For Biswas to R K Narayan's Malgudi Days to present day media events that has no following and craze. He wondered the partial commercialisation of print media that invariably corroded facts and still holding on to thoughts that HT had resisted market forces for good and hope to carry on with vintage appeal and thrill and would remain admirable fruit. He could even recall Rabindranath Tagore works with ease and Gitanjali (Where The Mind Is Without Fear And The Head Is Held High, Where Knowledge Is Free, Where The World Has Not Been Broken Into Fragments By Narrow Domestic Walls, Where Words Come Out From The Depth Of Truth, Where Tireless Striving Stretches Its Arms Towards Perfection) gaining audience in breeze.

Bhopal Express In The '70s From Old Delhi Railway Station

Having come to know that I would be getting down at Bhopal, the gentleman recalled the much-touted Bhopal Express in the '70s and '80s leaving from Old Delhi Railway Station at night and here passengers could get seats, equally appealing for those whose budgets were somewhat tight. He having worked in BSNL (Public Sector Unit) knew the functioning of such giants in public domain inside out. He having spent part of his earning innings in Delhi recalled the intrigue that Chandni Chowk (Chandni Chowk is a bustling place in the heart of Delhi) holds for visitors and one is immersed in thoughts after visiting the same and here tourists have much to gain. 

Couple Getting Down At Secunderabad

The couple got down at Secunderabad and in came a couple hailing from Delhi dropping subtle hints that lower berth be vacated even during day time. And I was resigned to pass time holding on to a upper berth seat and this was nothing less than inconvenience chapter I visited again and again and I facing flak and heat. By the time Bhopal came it was well past 8 PM and on train undercurrents no need to hold AGM. I headed towards Hamidia Road to take a room in Lodge Banjara and here by no means in a state of ra ra. And the time spent here kept the script straight that spending two nights in a train isn't that great.

Interactions On Board Bengaluru Bound Train

Interactions On Board Bengaluru Bound Train

Having reached Bengaluru Cantt Railway Station, the interactions on board Bengaluru bound train from Madurai were on a missionary work that entails real responsibilities and real goals with all content and triumphant with simple perks. This conversation as well padded up with different sets of Presidents that France had at different points of time, and all during their reign, appearing supreme, and to their job quite keen. This conversation was with a woman who worked for St Joseph of Tarbes missionary, the one that brings relief and aid to the underprivileged. Mind you, Sisters of St. Joseph of Tarbes has a notable imprint in India going back to as early as 1882. And the noteworthy touch in India began very much in Bengaluru, riding high on issues of caring for the needy, women's empowerment getting all the attention and attributes of success, and not to forget the environment gridlock that we are in at the moment, and this missionary trying to chip in restoration and set goals that are very much in the realm of attainment. 

Missionary Goals Are Too Broad To Be Lettered In One Story

Missionary goals are too broad to be lettered in one story, and herein the tribal community be it in Jharkhand or other States too on missionary's radar, for the very goal of giving the dose of succour, and by doing so the hope window shouldn't flicker. Primarily riding on a wave to get the healing touch to that section that needs to brace up for weighty challenges despite their set up not next to River Ganges. With having understood that Christians make up roughly 2.5 per cent of India's population, and their voyage and foray in different sectors have been as sweet as our country's working equations, Christians gell well with Indian Anthem of be good, do good. And their supremacy in charts of progression is adding to India's Renovation Tool.

Dropping Hints On Different French Presidents

As for French Presidents, tales woven around Mitterrrand, Sarkozy, to present Mr Macron were too shared with the hope and expectations that France would continue to divulge unity in diversity chapters years after years and with no fears. There are a good number of Muslims in France, and they are overwhelmed by the dialogue of bipartisan support, and this on occasions some don't miss the opportunity to quote. Perhaps if I stand corrected Mitterrand was in office at a time when George Shultz was Secretary Of State.  And Mitterrand's 14 years at the helm got him the kudos he deserved and European Unity he time and again broached. 

Interactions With J P Morgan Chase & Co Personnel

Interactions were as well with J P Morgan ( J P Morgan Chase & Co) personnel who had taken a bus from Tirunelveli, his home town, and boarded train from Madurai and Madurai at one point of time having rivers that were not dry. We spoke on the tariff and the narrative built around with India having enough shoulders to dismantle those who have an outlook of a clown. J P Morgan has offices in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Gurgaon with the city more likely to face traffic rigmarole would be none other Gurgaon and during long winding hours of commute some yawn. As this J P Morgan guy had pursued graduation in Mechanical Engineering with a master stroke in Finance, he seem to be at his best in his present assignment with no fluttering thoughts on what was in store for city to city tenants.

Reaching KSR Bengaluru Railway Station

Having reached Bengaluru Cantt, the next task was to reach KSR Bengaluru from where Bhopal bound train was supposed to depart with some carrying Euro. Took Brindavan Express from Bengaluru Cantt and reached KSR Bengaluru by two with no thoughts on those who were burdened to carry the responsibilities of a cabin crew. Here on Platform One no black tea could be arranged from IRCTC catering unit and the staff indifferent as they were almost permanent. No black tea either from Platform Eight and I watching movement of trains to different destinations in Karnataka and they too having been blessed with imaginative straits. Perhaps Indian Railways need to imbibe lessons in different food and beverages stall vendors that their conduct and demeanour be for the world good as hostile deeds can instill fear as there are no supervision tools.

The Ride From Madurai To Bengaluru Cantt

The Ride From Madurai To Bengaluru Cantt 

With Bengaluru Cantt bound train having left Madurai at 5.15 AM, thoughts were on Madurai Stay and the lodge New College House by no means getting grey. New College House portends battle of nerves as getting a room can be dicey despite no season to season curbs. As there is rush round the year, one better watch out for days when there is lean demand for rooms, making way for those who can croon.  New College House I have been staying since 2010 with room tariff looks with no leaks somewhat steep in a nation where the north-south chemistry with a defined class can gain a big leap. On North-South chemistry less voluble has been suggestions on table despite train connectivity and aviation ever ready finding in some sections able buddy. I was in that part of South India where interactions are largely in Tamil with train announcements inside convoy primarily in English, Hindi and on silent occasions in Tamil to cater to that set of audience that would like to skip meals put to taste with fair sprinkling of onions. Here in this part of world raw onions are least consumed unlike North where it is taken at intervals by some akin to application of perfume.  

The North-South Dichotomy

The North-South Dichotomy, and to read the same, demands oodles of patience, and let either side not harp on discriminatory tools even in the face of incriminating evidence of language seen as a barrier that can literally land one in a swimming pool. Let Hindi, the language primarily spoken in North, not one to be seen as an experiment to be tried in South, and if it is done so, it can release endless sessions of bout. The train staff primarily made up of those who could spell success in Hindi, primarily maintaining this stand that majority of those travelling in this caravan had developed association with Hindi Rank. Hindi has to be given respect in corridors it deserves, Tamil and to add paean to that in households where there are least sighting of long winding curve. Let Tamil and Hindi rejoice in the glory that there are defined segments in the nation where either can reap a rich haul, commensurate with an understanding that India a territory would abstain from having any brawl.

Pitch Dark When Convoy Left Madurai

It was pitch dark when the train left Madurai, and by the time Dindigul was accessed, there was no word yet who would latch on to Buxar buses with no bruises. Scores of people board from Madurai (6), as well from Tiruchchirapali (7.03), and the maximum speed the convoy could clock was 109 kms, much relegated to this ideology that saturated tracks made the onward movement drowsy. Prior to Salem (9.30) came Karur, Namakkal and here no noteworthy episodes of some fixing their vehicle. At 10.10 came Buddireddipatti which was quite at home and not to be slayed by paratroopers of ED. How many guys in these 132 months had been sent summons no one knows, and wouldn't it be appropriate that summons be sent to those who burn reckless crackers in tonnes? If one is mindlessly burning crackers akin to burning money as their households are sitting on a mountain of illegitimate money, and this is a reflection of staging of city to city tourney. Burning crackers all through night recording decibel level not known to mankind, and sum total of this exercise that crackers they chase are the same that the neighbours find it to be a total waste with an inexplicable base.

By the time Krishnajapuram was reached we were inching closer to Bengaluru Cantt, and the number of passengers who boarded in all the mentioned stoppages, suggest that this convoy was a favourite of middle class which despite GST BATTERY is much closer to getting food from Bengaluru Or Chennai Eatery. By the time Bengaluru Cantt came it was closer to 12.30 and here no pressing need to furnish your ID. 

Food Wastage On Board

This ride and the meals served on board invoked thoughts quite furious over food that is wasted during the course of journey. And Indian Railways need to press the panic button that waste of food won't be taken lightly and some would be denied the same irrespective of their aim. Indian Railways need to bring in announcement from time to time seeking passengers' cooperation that food served should not be wasted and this endeavour is by no means done and dusted. India is a nation of over 1.5 billion people and majority don't have access to meals thrice a day and this spectacle is no beaming tray.

Let Milk Prices Relinquish The Present Fort And Essential Commodities One Can Quote

Let Milk Prices Relinquish The Present Fort And Essential Commodities One Can Quote

Having met Mr Sikandar, who had been running a store for over 20 years in Town Hall Road In Madurai, I came across different set of people with varied dreams, all by and large accepting that high prices of essential commodities even affect the likes of Kings And Queens. Kings And Queens may consume milk if their belief is that concurrent prices do click. Prices of milk and other dairy products hadn't moved from the present rate and much-advertised GST Gen-Next rate cut had hit a wall and a gate. Alarmed by milk prices, which was roundabout Rs 59 to a single pack, the benefits to consumers were by and large elusive and the one which none could track. I, for one, was hoping milk prices would settle for an affordable rate, and with nothing of that sort happening, this dairy product is out of reach of over a billion plus and giving enough stress. 

Day To Day Battle Is Fearsome

Stress that makes inroads in varied sections of India, and day to day battle is fearsome giving little leeway and bringing all-weather holding inertia. Where is the logic of GST rate cut for automobile sector as milk is out and out First Priority (Yes And Yes First Priority) and something not to be considered and consumed in brevity. There are no roads to ply and you are giving GST relief to automobile sector so that it can effectively stage plays in a theatre.

A Nation Of Over 1.5 Billion People And Denying Milk Is A Riddle

India is a nation of over 1.5 billion people and if this segment is denied milk this would remain an unsolved riddle. India is a nation of over 1.5 billion people with different households having different budgets and each on its own for meeting and not erasing monthly targets. Let milk prices relinquish the present fort and trickle to a rate that one can with ease quote. The dribble sensation each pack of milk is in dire need of, and sooner it descends, more would recall the sizeable event. Let the deposit rate of milk be fiddled with, and a dive to a set where it rests on laurels from the likes of Michael And His Mates. You spend trillions on DELHI VIP Security and for milk you give commoners anxiety.

Reaching Madurai Station With This Place Eager To Have Visitors From Asian Nations

Coming to Madurai Stay, having packed bags and on way to Madurai Railway Station with Automan, Mr Mohammad Ali, at the helm, the ride was short and swift with the station stay promising enough to be seen as a Gift. Around 1.55 AM I was in the station with different set of trains going to varied destinations. There was Tirupati-Rameswaram-Kanniyakumari train going to Nagercoil, trains going to Tambaram, Tuticorin primarily Pearl Express and trains going to destinations where none were carrying baggage that was excess. Exceedingly sweet were the set of interactions in Madurai Station, and with this place eager to have visitors from power corridors of a continent that is Asian. I get into Bengaluru bound train at 4.40, with no likelihood of coming across anyone who is haughty. The train begins to move at 5.15 and Dindigul is the first stoppage which is known for much-famed canteen.

Leaving Kanniyakumari For Madurai In South India

Leaving Kanniyakumari For Madurai In South India

Having spoken to Mr Natraj of Township Lodge In Kanniyakumari Road, the one where I had made inquiries way back in 2016, I expressed readiness to stay here when I come to Kanniyakumari next time when spring would be giant. Here in this part of world hot days are all omnipotent with winters never ever having arrived and if it has to do so it would have to pitch a reliable tent. Mr Natraj looked to be affable and down to earth and interactions with him taking away all worries about getting in Bhopal bound train upper berth. Mr Natraj, The Lodgeman, practical and realistic, hoping to have admirers who have disdain to amass plastic. As I left Kanniyakumari on a Sunday, with Mr Michael at the helm, the auto took almost 30 minutes to reach Nagercoil Junction (12.30 PM). As I took a seat on Platform 1, with Vasantham Catering in this very Platform where no one is plump, the series of announcements for different set of trains illustrate railways, the sector, cater to wide section of audience and here noteworthy authorities would be women and gents. Thiruvanthapuram-Kollam-Punalur train leaves from Platform 2 which is yet to have a date with an audience that is thrilled by anecdotes relayed by cabin crew.

Train From Nagercoil Junction To Madurai Leaves From Platform One

The train to Madurai leaves from Platform One, and I not comfortable carrying two set of luggage, which I can't place on rack and most pleasing part it is not carrying a plane tag. After 2.30 there are spate of wind plants, perhaps notifying the drive towards clean energy.  And here States Of Tamil Nadu And Karnataka have taken a lead and other provinces have to follow suit and take the gains of wind plant fleet fruit. After 2.40 the patch of land almost akin to Ajmer-Jaipur rail route section, and here noteworthy would be series of suggestions. Perhaps the drip irrigation system would turn the land fertile and here menfolk would have to be agile. 

Reaching New College House In Madurai; Visiting Goddess Meenakshi Temple

With TTE Mr David at the helm, I seeking a window seat, and he suggests No 70, where none can get haughty. Tirunelveli comes at 3.12, and here the set of passengers who board include the ones who have been allotted 70 and beyond, and I returning to my previous seat 44 which perhaps some day would have travellers from Kalimpong (West Bengal State). Spate of wind power plants after 3.30 as well and Kovilpatti coming at 4 and here electoral bonds of past with no degree of hesitation got its share of attention and furore. Electoral bonds underscored that poll malpractices were the reigning tribe, and to get to power corridor, one has to have parallel interactions with business groups which are of immense size. Having reached Madurai at 5, I longed to be at New College House located at 2, Town Hall Road where visitors do come from Tamil Nadu's Erode. Having taken a room on second floor, I left the room soon to be with Goddess Meenakshi Temple where the rush was palpable. Finding the long winding queue, I decided to get in the paid section which I left to get back in the general queue which holds handsome lessons for rail crew. The sanctum sanctorum was out of bounds for disciples of Goddess Meenakshi and what ever little sections of Temple I visited it was more than sufficient for me as I was visiting this sacred space having paid no fee. The Temple To Date Is Humongous And Goddess Meenakshi dropping hints that another day, another visit I would have to undertake despite rail fare carrying innumerable digit, having essentially taken the GST Nugget. This visit to Goddess Meenakshi Temple was the sum total of faith I have in her and she is the one to turn to when long winding innings of life unfurl.

Reaching Madurai Station To Catch Another Train

After the visit, I made a dash to Anna Meenakshi New College House Restaurant and here the grub was something to pore over and kept me overjoyed despite I not carrying phone Android. For black tea, one had to venture to Sree Vari Bhavan where the staff was courteous and fun. Jigarthanda (Traditional Drink) outlet too I visited for having something sweet, and here Mr Abdullah had a long list of beverage to flaunt, and this was a big feast inviting no taunt. Later I retired to my room and at 1.50 AM left for Madurai Railway Station to catch a train to Bengaluru where there are followers of Group Eenadu.

Kanniyakumari In Tamil Nadu State In South India Would Continue To Draw Tourists In Droves

Kanniyakumari In Tamil Nadu State In South India Would Continue To Draw Tourists In Droves

Having stayed with no intention to stage a play in Kanniyakumari, it were Mr Rajan and Mr Subramaniyam of Raja Palace whom I largely interacted with and this duo having the necessary lodge permit-cum-kit. Lodge kit to know who would be spending night in the lodge and who would be attached to the day desk when smiles are broad.  Kanniyakumari is enchanting for people across world and here Rajan-Subramaniyam duo see to it that during tourists stay with ease they get in and get out of structured play. Both told me in advance the room tariff would see a hike if I intended to stay beyond Saturday as weekend is the rush hour when tourists come from all over India to pen thoughts on their elusive essays. 

Essays Could Well Be About Madagascar To Cameroon

Essays could well be about the sabbatical they have taken and almost nearing a month, and they establishing contacts with followers of Irish politico Mr Mark Durkan. Essays could well be about upheaval in Madagascar to Cameroon and here some need to step aside to let new figure arrive. While Madagascar, which is in East Africa, and here military holding the reigns, and to say so elections would take place in two years would keep Capital Antananaarivo and roundabout tense. As for world's oldest President Mr Paul Biya in Cameroon (Central Africa), who is locked in a fierce electoral contest with Mr Tchiroma Bakary, with the latter asking Mr Biya to concede, and in the backdrop of Constitutional Council taking two weeks to declare who has taken the poll heat, with some suggesting this session of suspense no one can hail and greet. 

Essays Could Well Be About Bengali Travellers

Essays on these two nation states in Africa could well be delved into, equally enticing would be the subject of West Bengal State residents visiting every nook and corner of India when holidays triumph, and from cities and towns which are no less giant. This is as well true for Kanniyakumari, which 10 months ago, was declared municipality as pointed out by Branch Manager Mr Ahmed of Canara Bank, and among public sector banks, this bank has a good ranking and won't tank. Having taken the honour of municipality, more Bengalis would be keen to visit this spot and stay in lodges which may not necessarily be tied in knots. Mind you, Bongs ( Bengalis) would be visiting shores as distant as Rameswaram and Kanniyakumari notwithstanding the inclement weather, and on occasions coming across irking guide and tutor.

From Sea View Restaurant To Chitra Cafeteria

Coming to Kanniyakumari stay, the best cuisine among others was offered by Sea View Restaurant In East Car Street with a gentlemanly and well mannered disposition the staff having and entire establishment thriving. The Sea View Restaurant Delicacies for one aren't that hard on pockets, and with a buffet that is humongous, and those savouring the same have over the years been well briefed on conquests of Khan whose first name was Genghis. As for the art of getting more footfall, the Chitra Restaurant In Vivekananda Kendra has fewer parallels with no word yet on the timing of sea trials. As for Sunday, the day I am supposed to leave Kanniyakumari, I get hold of a rail ticket and on a voyage to Kanniyakumari Temple for the third time with an understanding that Goddess Kanniyakumari would call me with surroundings and weather looking fine. Once inside the temple, I let the word spread that I have to catch a train and here ardent devotees make way for me as from Nagercoil Junction would begin the much-awaited journey.  

Three Prominent Places That Were On My Itinerary

This was the Kanniyakumari visit coming in the backdrop of I wishing to keep date with three prominent places, namely, Rameswaram, Kanniyakumari  and Madurai, and this expedition had so far been fair and good and none of the chapters could be slammed crude. This Kanniyakumari trek brought to the focus the umpteen tourism potential the State Of Tamil Nadu has, and this could well be taken into stride by those who have a voice that is primarily bass. Let Kanniyakumari repose faith in a mandate that though Hindus, Christians and Muslims raise the template of oneness, and time and again it would open doors to ideas that promote harmony, given the life journey that is on a pedestal as equal and befitting as a tennis tourney.

By the time I finished the grub from Chitra Restaurant, it was well past 11.30 and I taking an auto with Mr Michael at the helm to Nagercoil Junction which invites trains from disparate sections.

Accessing Kanniyakumari And Visiting East Car Street As Well

Accessing Kanniyakumari And Visiting East Car Street As Well

Having reached Kanniyakumari, it was time to figure out the location where Raja Palace lodge stood, the one where I had shown interest to stay way back in 2013, a year when India had shown the intent to get FDI more than 10 billion dollars in months as small as 18.  As for the FDI flow in recent years, few have the handy tips and fewer know if there are any blips. FDI chums can be traced with little effort and they won't look withdrawn if they arrive to the said destination in a vehicle that can convert. FDI India seeks but not at the cost of masses who are made to shriek. Let FDI Make Entry without annoying anyone as India is a nation where one expects from aviation to railways there would be a watchful and to the last hour vigilant GM.

Trooped In A Room Spacious Enough To Accommodate Even Those Who Could Croon

Coming back to Kanniyakumari, once having figured out Raja Palace and trooped in a room spacious enough to accommodate even those who could croon, after getting sedated by long sessions of choon, all thoughts were on Rameswaram Stay where people don't necessarily leave imprints that they are getting grey. Rameswaram, and the uninterrupted flow of vehicles had changed over the years, with all Car Street out of bounds for public transport. North Car Street, East Car Street, South Car Street And West Car Street were the ones where public transport, including autos and buses, which could ply at one point of time, had been shut for them and this bringing inconvenience to devotees, primarily triggered by those who on occasions came in Audis. The rationale to keep the Four Car Street out of bounds for public transport shorn of logic and this act by no means legit. The trudge to the lodge can be in a sort of  disarray if from railway station one is carrying two luggage entirely comprising garments and water bottle and no ornaments. The Trudge To The Lodge And The Date With The Lord I Still Maintain can never be bothersome if we keep Lord in our prayers from AM To PM. Lord Ramanatha Swamy seeks to see his devotees be all vigilant while inside temple and moments spent here is something to relish for the likes of Nevil.

Visiting Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple

Having taken a room in Kanniyakumari, all thoughts were on the time I would be spending in this holy town, having visitors from as distant place as UK who don't frown. On A Friday Entered Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple At 6 AM And Came Out At 7. Priests were attentive and so were the string of associates right after different sets of Gates. One can pen thoughts inside temple as there are no volunteers who would be irksome and precious time spent inside sanctum sanctorum is a real gem. Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple I was visiting after nine years and nothing had changed and none having any fears.

Visiting Vivekananda Rock And Kanniya's Footsteps 

With drizzle all over the place, I was by all means confident of taking a vessel to Kanniya's footsteps. Reached Ferry Service Point at 7.40. Gates that were closed opened at 8.20. Board Vessel M L Pothigai at 8.26. Reach Kanniya's Footsteps at 8.38.  As well had the honour of visiting Vivekananda Rock As Well Meditation Hall. Visited Thrivalluvar Statue As Well. Boarded Vessel at 9.02 and reached Kanniyakumari at 9.20. The rides back and forth were convenient enough to raise this tale that vessels can get you the tourist attractions that you desire in a nation that has multiple connectivity and wire. Mind you, there is Thrivalluvar University in Vellore (Tamil Nadu) and Thrivalluvar Statue in Philippines. 

Grub From Chitra Hotel In Vivekananda Kendra; Internet Cafe Coming Handy

As for the grub, I settled for Chitra Hotel in Vivekananda Kendra. This outlet on previous occasion went by the name Gourishankar Restaurant. Ranade communications in Vivekananda Kendra came handy for internet connection with I having spoken to Mr P Thungaswami on mobile and he ever ready to lend help. Saturday as well visited Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple and this outing was something to cherish. Two Days In A Row had the moment to be with Goddess Kanniyakumari Temple and silence inside was the golden gell. This very day visited Sea View Restaurant East Car Street and had a buffet largely comprising South Indian Dishes and this cafeteria retaining all aces. The staff at Chitra Hotel in Vivekananda Kendra and in Sea View Restaurant East Car Street courteous and a special word of praise for Mr Rathnam and Mr Kumar in Chitra. 

Booking Tatkal Ticket For A Train Meant To Leave From Bengaluru

On A Sunday took time out to book Tatkal Railway ticket from Kanniyakumari Railway Station from Bengaluru to Bhopal, and the woman personnel at the counter helpful enough to get a confirmed one minus lower berth that was shunned. Quite irking it looked that lower berth could not be gained but had the fortune that I was holding a confirmed ticket for a sizeable sum.

The Ride To Kanniyakumari From Rameswaram

The Ride To Kanniyakumari From Rameswaram

With directions to Thoothkudi, Tiruchendur and Kanniyakumari, I was heading to a place that I had not visited since August 2016 in a nation flanked by Base Kitchen and Railway Canteen. Base Kitchen panders to the whims and fancies of passengers cutting across party lines who wish they not be named that they are giants. Having hit the road and going past the new Pamban Bridge by railways, which was no different from previous one as it was well short of electric poles, and here moot observation would be the urgency shown to get it inaugurated to illustrate it has the liberty to carry convoy in tonnes. 

No New Insights From New Pamban Bridge As Still There Is No Electrified Route From Tiruchchirappalli

And herein the better idea would have been electrified route even after Tiruchchirappalli and going all the way to Rameswaram as there are thick rush during festive occasions like Onam. This new Pamban Bridge raises tales that lend fewer insights and this institution witness to its budget year after year getting spiked. Railways need to take up those projects which are marginally better than previous ones invariably inviting thoughts by those who may not be plump. As I had collected Laminated Pictures Of Lord Ramanatha Swamy from Lakshmi The Store in Rameswaram few hours ago, and now on the way to Kanniyakumari commensurate with directions to Thoothkudi and Tiruchendur, and some residents finding it safe to stay/play indoors. Here there are thoughts on Lord Ganesh Festival in Mumbai and some connecting the dots in Hawaii. Notably at 11.32 Keelakarai comes and there are directions to Ervadi Dargah. Reach Ervadi Dargah at 11.44 and here Muslims are in good numbers with women wearing burqa, and much to cheer in this part of world, there was no gag order coming from troika. Here my thoughts go to Ajmer Dargah. Bus of Indian Matric Higher Secondary School passes by and hope the students are able to topple Maths Puzzle In One Try. At 12.18 PM comes Sayalkudi. Few minutes later this stretch reminds one of road to Tirupati from Bengaluru/Chennai and surroundings by no means invoking ennui.     

Sighting Of Wind Plants

 At 12.33 Vembar comes, and as Tuticorin is 58 kms away, surprise of surprises there are sighting of wind power plants and that too in huge numbers reinforced by those who are not forced to spend nights in tents. Mind you, there are excessive showering of these plants in and after Hospet in Karnataka State and none goaded to get in a session to berate. At  12.57 sight first bus going to Rameswaram (RMM). At 1.03 comes Veppalodai followed by V Pandiyapuram at 1.05, at 1.10 Tharuvaikulam, at 1.17 Mela Arasadi and here none carrying CD. CD on price upsurge of essential commodities and none in the power gallery finding this seasonal surge to keep them at ease. From here turn left and to leave no one in doubt at 1.23 comes Thoothkudi . At 2 go past Service School CBSE and here learning tips may be easy. 

Going Past Banana Research Station

 At 2.18 go past Banana Research Station. At 2.27 Kanniyakumari 84 kms and this town has enough dose of creators. From here turn left and we are on National Highway 44. SOJOURNERS CHURCH comes and some in the surroundings finding their chums. At 2.38 Tirunelveli 5 kms and Kanniyakumari 75 kms. If the traffic on ring road of Delhi could glide as the one on NH 44  it would be fun to the core. But it is easier said than done as Delhi Traffic is more than the sum total of slips stored/stirred in different EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines).   At 2.47 Kanniyakumari 60 kms and Thiruvanthapuram 123 kms. We reach Nanguneri Kanniyakumai Tollway Pvt Ltd at 2.50. Again at 3.22 sighting of wind power plants and those who have underscored the need to have them are even in France.  At 3.33 Kanniyakumari 17 kms. Reach Kanniyakumari at 3.50 and reach the accessible lodge which millions can watch.

This Ride To Kanniyakumari Revealed that though there are no modern to date buses during day time from Rameswaram, taxi ride could be employed as there are no tales to hide. The taxi tryst was to explore that part of India where there are evergreen surroundings and ever lasting wind plants with tales shared by followers of tennis icon whose first name is Ivan. The ride lasting nearly six hours nudged one to think what it takes for South India to beat the odds as North can't figure out the plot. For North to stand straight, verbal abuse and that too released in flood, would have to wait.

Happy Birthday To Mr Amitabh Bachchan, Mr Prannoy Roy

Happy Birthday To Mr Amitabh Bachchan (October 11) . Happy Birthday To Mr Prannoy Roy (October 15). My Best Wishes Would Always Be With Them And Their Family Members.

The Day I Am Supposed To Leave Rameswaram

The Day I Am Supposed To Leave Rameswaram

The day I am supposed to leave Rameswaram, the day prior to that I visit Iyra Cafe which is just a stone's throw away from MICRO Computer Zone (West Car Street). With shutters down, MICRO Computer Zine may or may not have been functioning perhaps in need of fine tuning. Fine tuning and that too for a series of cyber cafes that had folded up in Rameswaram over a period of time, and here to reconfigure them was the urgent call, as those likely to visit are gentlemen like Sally and Paul. That particular day I had paid a visit to S S Palace Grand Restaurant with an understanding that curd rice, and that to taken during day time, would set the course for those seeking campus placement. Campus placement usually happens during fag end of year, enlisting campus cheer. Campus placement millions seek in a decade in a nation where random submissions are made during Budget by those who are not teen and add to the exercise innumerable digit. Budget gives a fair idea of taxes to be levied and sections if left unsupervised can give no room to manoeuvre for likes of Davies. Budget, and there are beadroll of enthusiasts, who take a vow that this be an annual exercise to plough. 

Visiting Iyra Cafe For Umpteenth Time

Iyra Cafe I was visiting umpteenth time as black tea was served and in corridors of power it was heard. Snacks and those not having returned to barracks were poised to yield a tale here as eateries like Iyra Cafe in RMM were rare. Let RMM take a call that more such eateries would be in a functioning mode as those with a nose for news could pause and pose. Iyra Cafe that too on a Wednesday Evening I wished to drop by as taking an auto ride to S S Grand or Just A Sarang Restaurants back and forth would have meant to hand over the change in a State that after Spring would vote and wait. 

Vacating SRI RAMANJANEYA CHATRAM  In North Car Street

Thursday after returning from Lord Ramanatha Swamy Temple I vacated SRI RAMANJANEYA CHATRAM (North Car Street) with hosts like Mr Girish and Mr Muni Swamy looking good and I setting sights on Kanniyakumari, which in due course of time would be visited by followers of Australian Artist Jimmy Crute. SRI RAMANJANEYA CHATRAM had been kind enough to give space for over three days and hope to pop in another day another month when despite bad press EVM won't be shunned. As I visited Just A Sarang cafeteria and made calls to a taxi group to get me the vehicle of choice to reach Kanniyakumari where I could rejoice, thoughts were on how the ride would be in a State where Tamilians (Tamilians are natives of Tamil Nadu The State) on a host of issues agree.

Leaving For Kanniyakumari; Going Past Pamban Bridge

Leave Rameswaram at 10.17 AM with rail tracks running parallel to road and here there is no GM on board. Here I seeking association with Lord Ramanatha Swamy to call me again and again even if that is supposed to be winter with less rain. At 10.26 Madurai 160 kms away where too ardent devotees go and pray. This very moment comes Pamban Bridge with early sighting of a large number of vessels in the sea, and a large number of people including Muslims, getting out of their car to get a real look that comes for free. Thinking about Gujarat and Mumbai and the family I came in touch with in Chennai Egmore station where there is a dire need to run early morning trains to Rameswaram. As I go past Southern Railways Officers' Rest House, there are a large number of Tamil Nadu State Road Transport Corporation buses that have hit the road with some at the wheels thinking about Erode. Here Coimbatore 370 kms and Salem 350 kms. 

Mandapam Camp Railway Station
