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

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, 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

Chhath Festival Is The Most Pious One On Earth

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. Arghya to SUN GOD was given on Monday Evening and Tuesday Morning, and with collection of disciples running into millions, this mammoth event let the word spread that good tidings are the connect and the thread.

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.

Krishnajapuram Accessed

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. 

At KBC Podium the conversation among Mr Amitabh Bachchan, Mr Javed Akhtar and Mr Farhan Akhtar was truly illuminating.

Cheers to them for keeping surroundings upbeat. Hope to hear similar set of conversations in future as well.

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

At 10.36 Mandapam Camp Railway Station comes. At 10.39 Nagapattinam 244 kms. Thinking about some taking taxis from Chennai to Rameswaram, and not getting deterred by hefty cab sum.

Having staged two different visits to Chennai Egmore the previous to previous Sunday, all attempts were aimed at securing porter for the day I was supposed to leave for Rameswaram with an intent and hope no one would misbehave with me and no one would try to nail me. Mr Ibrahim, The Porter In Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin, engaged in no misconduct and so were other range of porters which I sighted once I boarded train for Rameswaram. The rides from Delhi to Chennai and followed by Chennai to Rameswaram were least bothering and the sum total of the exercise so far was by no means hallucinating. Against this backdrop I hoped the ride to Middle Sections Of India would be getting me in no sort of trouble and those in surroundings amenable. 

As I inched towards Bengaluru and stayed in Platform 8 for the train to park itself designated to leave at 8 PM, I was in thoughts on how the different rides in South India had been inviting enough to engage in broad conversations with litmus test on no one was getting abusive and all in their sense. I was biding time and as clock struck 7 in Bengaluru Railway Station and I watching movement of different trains came a volley of verbal abuse from those who were of Punjabi descent. I was taken aback by these Delhi Locals and their art of mastering abuse in Hindi and that too for a long duration in that section of India where Hindi is rarely spoken. Where was the need for Delhi Locals to take a seat in proximity and showcase their presence by abuse and more abuse? I was all by myself and in a dilemma of sorts. When the train finally pulled in these Delhi Locals Coach was more than 150 metres away. These Delhi Locals astute aim was to take a seat in my proximity and raise a banner of revolt that they can"t stomach my visiting South India and whichever part of country I step in they won't spare me. 

These Delhi Locals and their thunder to navigate and narrate tales of inconvenience primarily suggest that in pre partition days these Delhi Locals successfully manufactured abusive rockets which could fly in one try. These Delhi Locals knew that after the country would gain Independence they would have new association to built on in their empire of existence, and they would deem fit to give trouble to those who can't display his or her writ. From Delhi Locals abuse spread to Hindi Heartland and later to other parts of country.  Abuse that too heard in Hindi Heartland is alarming and fights breaking out in corridors of power is by no means entertaining. These Delhi Locals pound you in whichever part of country one pays a visit and they taking a seat in my proximity was all stage managed by Home Ministry and an evil attempt to get entertainment gadget free. Home Ministry goons travel right from Delhi and tail me to sections in India I access making it doubly sure I am under stress. These are wonderful elements out to undo advantages of 50 years and they have blessings of a regime that is worn out with no fear. More trouble was to follow in Bhopal.

The Stay In Rameswaram And Looking Forward To Kanniyakumari Vacation

The Stay In Rameswaram And Looking Forward To Kanniyakumari Vacation

Perhaps it dates back to September 10, 2010 when I set out on a mission to explore Rameswaram for the first time, having understood there are temples in South India that are giant. The visit and the whisper was all about the need to keep a date with Lord Ramanatha Swamy, The Presiding Deity of Rameswaram Temple. This time round I made it sure I had access to train tickets, with different sets of trains arriving at designated destinations looking all glorified, and having strong tenets. Having arrived in Rameswaram (RMM) on a Monday, and gaining accommodation in Ramajaneya Chatram in North Car Street, with Mr Girish looking all wonderful with no pressing need to have rouble that is visible. Rouble is all set to sink and lose wings as it is in crosshairs of Kings. Kings who could not keep their differences apart despite knowing there is reservoir of support for Thai Baht. 

Three Temple Visits On Three Different Days.

The three visits on three different dates to Lord Ramanatha Swamy were consistent with a prayer that I get umpteen opportunities to lock myself in a pursuit to get an audience with the Lord as and when the need arises and the days and nights looking broad. The Lord and the listening post he delivers are all to provide solace to a society that is no stranger to churning and developments and that too not in brevity. Let the Lord and the temple he resides in be the one which steer the wheels of world governance, giving no room to invaders in a sizeable theatre as it is now to get the less befitting prompt eminence. Eminence to those who keep thousands in dislocation corridor can never be a reality for them as they have put on glasses of Intruder GM. The Lord listens to appeals of sobriety with all at back of his mind, with Lord Ramanatha Swamy looking fine and kind. And here the moot query is do we have access window come in a flood, and gaining a glimpse be a season to season hut? And herein the Indian Railways need to up the ante. Perhaps the railways need to shed hesitation to run direct trains from Chennai Egmore, the starting time roughly around 8 in the morning and reaching RMM by 6 PM and that too the entire seven days in a week even in the face of a train traffic that is peak. Why the railways can't be magnanimous in taking a decision to this effect as early morning trains, starting from Chennai Egmore, should get the requisite temple ticket. Run morning trains all through seven days as it would essentially tend to lift the haze. Spate of politicos with associates in business houses could not get sanction to lead a dignified life, why train running be hostage to rumours that are rife. 

Cyber Cafe In RMM No Reality;  Exploring Eating Joints In Entirety.

Besides the visits to the temple, the pressing need to share space with cyber cafe didn't yield success as all internet connection apparatus had no thunder and disappeared in oblivion akin to tales of not-to-register functional EVM. The tale and trajectory of functional cyber cafe was least to expect during the current visit to RMM, much to do with fewer returns from season to season. The right to explore eating joints took me to Just A Sarang (Royal Park) and S S Grand Hotels, and these two cafeteria hoping to host guests from Emirates. Visitors From Emirates would come in due course of time perhaps in a year or so when Middle East Muscle would get the glow. Would the shine of Middle East come during spring as all hullabaloo is about leaders who have pens with drying ink? This would be known as we step into series of new months bringing news in tonnes. The visit and those holding vision to RMM would not have come at a better time as traffic diaspora in the city of Delhi is handed out traffic fine. Fine for the mere fact that reckless driving was engaged from time to time to show they are road behemoth and well aware of traffic plot. Some would opine Delhi is a city of institutional impropriety, as institutions after institutions have shed gate of creativity. Send summons to ten here and thousands there and which are not rare would make the RMM Denizens take this line that Delhi is a city of monotonous ego with least line of communications with Santiago. Conversations with Santiago could hardly pick up in a season when VIP Movement is draining out enough bucks. So RMM Denizens would all be surprised over developments in the heart of Delhi with inflated power and water bills not invoking perfect tally.

So as I waded into RMM theatre with a hope and a wish that I get to float here at random as this is the very region that hosted Kingdom. So as I wrapped up my three-day visit to RMM, the need to access Kanniyakumari was a resolution invoking faith in sacred spaces of Tamil Nadu The State. Kanniyakumari and how to get to its gate was a dilemma that took hours to sort out, and a cab ride that sprout in a nation where HIGHWAY roads hug you and take away the career blue, was looking to be a perfect clue. So as I intended to get into Kanniyakumari Vacation, hoping against hope it would spell success with a neat equation, the ride set into during day time would have enough pluses and choices.

The Stay In Rameswaram

The Stay In Rameswaram

YEDU KONDALWADA VENKATRAMNA GOVINDA GOVINDA

Reaching RMM (Rameswaram)

Reaching RMM (Rameswaram) 

There weren't many stoppages as the convoy (RMM Humsafar Super Fast Train) traveled through Tamil Nadu's Limelights, which are blessed with a rich heritage and people who are wise.  The third stoppage was at Vridhachalam at 2:12 PM, and the next one was approaching Ariyalur at 3.03 PM, with some people reestablishing contact with the officiating GM.  Again Ariyalur one of the cleanest railway stations in Tamil Nadu perhaps in letter and spirit and that it may be considered a green zone with attentive residents who are familiar with lethal power of ICBM cone. At 3.30 Lalgudi came with a woman guard holding green flag and in this part of country one occasionally comes across women conductors, women guard, women auto drivers and future thrust could well be women bus drivers enlisting lot of cheers. 

Reaching Tiruchchirappalli, Reaching Pamban Bridge

At 4.03 Tiruchchirappalli came, and the train left from here at 4.45 with no noteworthy episode of who has tendered a bribe. At 5.22 the convoy reaches Pudukkottai, Manamadurai at 6.49, Ramanathapuram at 8.02, Pamban Bridge at 8.40, and Rameswaram at 8.57. The ride to Rameswaram was exciting enough to put us on a new pedestal, and caution became the buzzword on arrest that is digital. Digital arrest episodes have floundered over a period of time, with a lone incident here and there taking away the fraud shine. Arrive at 9.30 at Ramanjaneya Chatram (North Car Street) with Mr Girish all ready to host me. 

Exhaustive Sleep

The sleep that I gained on Monday Night at Ramanjaneya Chatram was best to date in South India And Entire India and due to that, I was able to put in a long prayer session on Tuesday in Lord Ramanatha Swamy Temple, entering from East Car Street. Unlike previous occasions, the exit is from South Car Street and this is neither needed nor required. Let the exit be from East Car Street as well. On Wednesday and Thursday the visits to Lord Ramanatha Swamy Temple were hassle free and those taking free darshan they too be allowed to get in the paid queue if the rush in the temple was manageable, as all devotees and disciples are equal. Again, all disciples are equal. Some from North India tend to pay the priest, and that doesn't befit the visit of that disciple. At the entrance gate there should be announcements essentially carrying the message that pin-drop silence should be maintained inside the temple and there should be boards at various points conveying that sentiment. Pin-drop silence is what the Reigning Deity Looks Forward To.

Conversation On Board Rameswaram Train On A Nation That Is Grand And Those Willing To Play Band

Conversation On Board Rameswaram Humsafar Train On A Nation That Is Grand And Those Willing To Play Band

On board RMM Humsafar the conversation veered towards the 11-year-old setup with those at the front desk vis-à-vis a regime of Indira which was put under a lot of duress and test. Mr Rao, the cop, and Mr Sumanth, hankering for no attention despite doing accounts jobs, thundered that these 11 years have been fine, and in the period before that India was not liberated, and here now New Delhi was getting pampered and gaining in world stage huge accolades and fewer willing to park themselves next to yachts. If that was so, why did the Painful Pahalgam Incident evoke condemnation by select few, and why did the air strikes thereafter going after perpetrators give some career blues. Perpetrators needed to be handed a lesson and here there was unanimity on this, but less agreed that these 11 years gave new equations to sectors as disparate as aviation which come with their set of association. One could not nail Mr Rao's thunder that in these 11 years no one plundered having understood each section each day submit a new tender. .  

Electoral Bonds And Those Gaining Taunts

The conversation on the train was also about electoral bonds and those who reaped a rich haul courtesy largesse doled out by select business houses, and one knew who were The New Reigning Business Champions Making At Different Interval Noises. Favours shown to few houses and a gag order on doing reportage on them can't be the true flavour of a Thriving Democracy in a nation that has long forgotten sessions of Aristocracy. Electoral bonds different from electoral powder that comes after placing order, on which truth came out with the highest court of land taking a stand and not letting powers that be gain reprieve and play band. And that too in a nation that is grand.  

New Delhi Taking The Heat

The conversation was as well about the true sentiments attached to New Delhi The City flanked by high pollution and here some maintaining that Delhi has more vehicles than Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai put together, and in the capital, after the purchase of any vehicle, the owner gets on a ladder. Ladder to blast those who have disdain to acquire a new set of vehicles, as there are no roads to ply and no roads to try. Delhi has the least regard for rules, and when riots were staged in Delhi in 2020, we came to know of colonies that one had not heard of in the past, and these fiery riots opened a new chapter on who would get the blast.

Conversation carried on till night in the train, with some maintaining that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and in this age of Media All Praising Messiah, true reportage is next to nil, and reportage that carries low dose of facts is akin to handout that is shrill. Facts are the least to get from this set of media, even though we are not in Nigeria's Abia. In Nigeria facts come after long interval and here in India if this set of media begins to relay accuracy and facts it would spell trouble. All in attendance agreed in unison that India The Great should step up the momentum and bare facts that spell less chaos and more vision.

Taking Train To RMM From Chennai Egmore

Taking Train To RMM From Chennai Egmore

Having reached Chennai Egmore, the auto I boarded seemed to be on a fast track and I almost getting waylaid as the auto guy was out to make a fast buck. He probably realised I was new to the city and he took a circuitous route to reach Chennai Egmore the city that was least expected to get its share of furore. Having stayed in the city the entire Sunday, I made two rounds of Chennai Egmore Station to figure out the possibility of getting a porter the coming Monday for a train that had commenced its journey on Saturday. On Monday, as I left Tourist Home, I made note of Tamil Nadu Police Department guy in plain clothes occupying room 306 from Saturday onwards and another guy replacing him on Sunday night banging doors and the lift.I somehow managed to gain reprieve; however long spell of heat may have been, some having delusions and likely to crib after getting the brief. Having reached Chennai Egmore Station by 9 AM there was no porter to be found and there is prepaid AC Waiting Hall and this may not reap a rich haul. 

No Display Screen Adding to Passengers' Inconvenience

There are no display screens, and that too on Platform 5, from where RMM Humsafar Express was expected to go. Except for one at the entry point, and that doesn't get the passengers the much-needed glow. In the station I came across one family from Warangal, another from Nagpur and a third one from Amreli. Amreli guy I tell him I have visited Gujarat The State extensively probing limelights like Dwarkadhish, Okha, Nageshwar, Somnath, Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Surendranagar, Kutchh, and a host of other places where probably one can understand the workers under MNREGA getting due wages. Those living under the poverty line, the numbers convey a different picture despite plants in varied sectors coming up and teething functioning leading to year-to-year fissure.

RMM Bound Train Leaves At 10.50

Rameswaram (RMM) bound train leaves at 10.50, more than one hour behind schedule, and I have to carry luggage on my own from entry gate to Platform 5. Take seat number 57 next to a family from Narsapur in West Godavari in Andhra Pradesh The State. The train goes past Saidapet, Guindy with series of homes in IST (Indian Standard Time) Zone.  And first stoppage is at Chengalpattu. One women from Pudukottai The City In India I get in brief interaction with and there is expansive green cover after 12 PM with some having understood the art of tinkering with AGM.  Thinking about Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu State and how cold it would be and here with mammoth proportion the chocolates get ready and offered to one and all irrespective of one being tied to a tree. 

Tozhuppedu Coming At 12.30, Olakur At 12.50 

At 12.30 comes Tozhuppedu, at 12.42 Olakur, at 12.50 Tindivanam, at 1 Pevani, and at 1.15 Villupuram which is fairly clean, and this is the second stoppage, and here the residents beam. Interaction with Mr Vedantan Sumanth (Looking After Accounts In Zilla Parishad School) and Mr Rao leads one to know there is famous Bathukamma Festival in Telangana yearly and Samma-Sarakka Festival once in two years and this is in Warangal and highly considered to be Asia's second biggest festival, probably set in motion by the ringing of a bell.

It doesn't make sense to run this train from North, more it would get a window of eminence if the train originated during morning hours from Chennai Egmore and reached RMM by evening and this set of journey one can endure.

The Ride From Vijayawada To Chennai Central And Passage Enlisting Occasional Thrill

The Ride From Vijayawada To Chennai Central And Passage Enlisting Occasional Thrill 

 As I reached Vijayawada station with the convoy parked at Platform 5 there was one gentleman having banana after banana perhaps illustrating this fruit is not dearer in this part of country much known to serve delicacies from varied eateries. Palnadu Express Train too pulled in different set of platform running through Secunderabad, Guntur and Visakhapatnam Section and giving much-needed tour and affable equation. Effectively speaking that tour in this part of world which carries less elements of uproar and expectations undeniably soar. 

Chennai Rajdhani Leaving Vijayawada

As Chennai Rajdhani Train in which I was in left after few minutes BRK Water Plant one could sight with ease and here once full fledged capital (Vijayawada Guntur Combined) comes there would be undeniable visitors from Greece. With Krishna River Crossing done and dusted with the convoy moving at regulated speed railways need to get the deed done on New Bridge on this river as old bridge takes truckload that is multiple times that of vehicle Hundred Hummer. As the convoy goes past Water Tank Maruthi Nagar and at 2.53 it reaches Peddavadlapudi and here it stays still for some time with my thoughts going to Srisailam and how this sacred spot opens doors to large number of devotees even for those who are in the Nineties. 

Nellore The City With Huge Potential

At 4.43 comes Tanguthru, at 5.23 Kavali, at 5.38 Alluru Road which at random comes with a new quote. Here I throwing bucketful of thoughts on Nizamuddin Station from where this train originated and on that day some day to day guys were stranded for hours not knowing where to go and whom to meet. Loitering and not listening to the call that patience won't make them hit the wall. Patience is the buzzword be it any railway station or flyover on ring road where hope float. Reaching Nellore The City With Huge Potential. At 5.47 comes Talamanchi station which is fairly clean, at 6 Penna river and at 6.02 Nellore and here roads run parallel to tracks. Nellore a huge city with huge potential and here series of structures with moderate heights and this underscores it has not hit rigmarole planning pole. 

Reaching Chennai Central

At 8.03 WIMCO, at 8.15 Tiruvottiyur and at 8.40 Chennai Central on which sheets and sheets of paper have been mentioned in editorial. The very fact that ever since Warangal came every time the convoy used to run for five to six minutes and thereafter slow down it was a reflection on saturated tracks which occasionally get unexpected guests from those laying roadmap of levying tax. 

Saturated Rail Tracks

Saturated tracks and leaving little space to manuevur and the ride that could have been delivered in less time is taking more hours and still has apt goal to retain shine. Saturated tracks in and around rail set-up look taxing as they are fast ageing and less revving. Reaching Tourist Home In Chennai Egmore. At 9 PM I was in Tourist Home with the aim of securing a safe stay further away from irritants that bring trouble in tray. 

Visited Sacred Heart Shrine

Visited Sacred Heart Shrine on Sunday. It was a full house and those in attendance eager to put in a prayer for world where some have grouse. In Chennai Egmore some sightings could as well be Chennai Gate, Chaicup, Neelai Darbar,Vasanta Bhavan, Hotel Ceylon. Sarvana Bhavan (Kennet Lane) High Quality Vegetarian Restaurants worldwide and here security personnel ever smiling and by no means erring. Ride Postings From A Temple Town. This ride postings come on the back of infrastructure of a temple town where it was dotted with series of cyber cafe at one point of time and now none to sight and gain. With cyber cafe having literally disappeared and we are in times when financial institutions pick and choose in giving aid. Aid for the masses who in the Age Of GST don't have enough choices. It is high time when financial institutions deboard from pick and choose policy ship and do away from issuing whip.

Chennai Rajdhani Train Coach Well Short Of Passengers Known For Their Tenacity

Chennai Rajdhani Train Coach Well Short Of Passengers Known For Their Tenacity


Having secured lower berth seat and connecting train ticket to RMM, I left Safdarjung Enclave home in New Delhi on Friday with prayers on lips that the train ride shouldn't be bereft of certitude and I coming across crowd that is young and prude. I tried to reason out with automan Mr Ravi that ride be through Lodhi Road in the heart of Delhi and he adamant that Barapulla Section would be the one to float as red lights don't come by rote.Taking BBSB (Baba Banda Singh Bahadur) Setu, the accomplished ride was flanked by series of flats occupied and some waiting to thrive and by all purpose waiting for GRAD Tribe. 

Thinking About Ajmer The City

Here thinking about Ajmer The City, Ajmer Dargah and how occasional visits to this Rajasthan Place has given an understanding of all those who have North India Ace And Are In Day To Day Race. Go past Lal Masjid Madarsa, Restored Grandeur Of Sarb Burz and we are in Mathura Road and few moments later reach Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station at 2.08 and having understood the essence of I having to wait and in Platform 5 few have the tendency to berate. Porter's Prime Responsibility. Haggling over fees Mr Ibrahim was not willing to settle for less as he observed his prime responsibility was to load the luggage in the coach and on his demands I found fit to not encroach. The train coming from Katra (Sri Mata Vaishno Devi In Jammu And Kashmir State) and headed to Tirunelveli (Tamil Nadu State) pulled in Platform 5 and thereafter Chennai Rajdhani with I boarding Coach A5 with no rumours on train running behind schedule rife. Having made adjustments to Mr Ibrahim's fees I wished him well. As we parted ways I looked forward to a train journey that would leave enough North-South imprints and trace. North-South Equations where the dictum to impose one set of language may find some landing in garrage. Let the diaspora of varied flavours take wings as India has known to host at different points of time KINGS. 

Chennai Rajdhani Train Well Short Of Passengers Known For Their Tenacity


Chennai Rajdhani Train Leaving After 3.30; Coach Well Short Of Passengers Known For Their Tenacity. Chennai Rajdhani Train left little after 3.30 going past series of flats and homes having inmates who would be having merry time and be in best frame of mind. TTE (Train Ticket Examiner) Mr Sanjeev seem to be best man to speak to so were food attendants Mr Vivek (From Kanpur In Uttar Pradesh State), Mr Suresh (From Gwalior In Madhya Pradesh State). As for the entire journey right from Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh State),Nagpur (Maharashtra State) to Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh State) no one took seats in the vicinity and the coach was well short of passengers known for their tenacity. Tenacity to launch a tirade if GST rate cut has no noteworthy tales to narrate. Tales that usher in dignified pricing even for those who go by the name Tyson. As for the ride occasionally the train would gain traction after slowing down and this was dawn to dusk action. 


Stations it went past in early hours were Okhla, Tuglakabad, Faridabad, Ballabhgarh,  Asaoti and others 

Stations it went past in early hours were Okhla,Tuglakabad,Faridabad, Ballabhgarh, Asaoti, Palwal,Kosi Kalan and registered on mind were series of complete and half complete homes and hope the residents have secure stay and more probably like to engage in meaningful play. The Green Thrust before and after Palwal was something to admire. Once having reached Mathura (Amarnath Girls Degree College Very Much Here) soon there was spotting of Ultratech Cement Ad on water tank and this was the product on which nation could bank. 

Probably The Much-Famed Sharda University Is Here


 After accessing Kitham there was probably the much-famed Sharda University that one could sight. After accessing Runkuta thoughts were on Chetak Express which during '90s ran on metre gauge from Delhi to Udaipur as well as thoughts on the need to introduce and complete the entire train commute from Bengaluru to Thrissur under eight hours with the convoy starting time from Bengaluru not before 8 in the morning. This as and when happens would bring relief to large number of commuters as more are destined to visit Guruvayur from time to time even if they have least fascination for lotus. 

Agra Cantt Followed By Nagpur And Vijayawada Coming In Schedule Time And Some Storing Thoughts For Forest Pine


 Agra Cantt came at 5.43, Gwalior 7, Jhansi 8,Bina 9.55, Bhopal 11.55, Nagpur 4.40 AM, Chandrapur 7.30, Balharshah 7.45, Sripur Kaghazanagar at 8.55, Warangal 11.12,Khammam 12.40 PM and Vijayawada 2.16. As these stations with halts appeared on surface thoughts were on pine forest and need to secure them with efforts as strong as gymnasts vault in circus. These stations from North To South had domino effect as more trains pulled in these segments carrying more than truckload of passengers namely women and gents. 

Need To Unveil New Steady Rail Bridge Over Krishna River After Vijayawada Station

Need To Unveil New Steady Rail Bridge Over Krishna River After Vijayawada Station. It is of prime necessisity that rail bridge over KRISHNA RIVER which is not that steady and herein a new set of bridge be laid and this should be sooner than later. As rains have lashed various parts of country with a quantum not known before and KRISHNA RIVER overflowing the Railway officials should attend to the task of new rail bridge over KRISHNA RIVER after Vijayawada Station. The ride till Vijayawada was not expected to promise moon but with noon having set in passengers could croon.The ride handed rights to those who had train tickets to savour meals and breathtaking episodes of South had enough dose of zeal. The ride till Vijayawada took almost 23 hours and still over and above six hours had to be spared to get acquainted with the person who was the boss.

Different Destinations, Different Voyages, It Is Time To Take A Ride That Unveils India's Phenomenal Images

Different Destinations, Different Voyages, It Is Time To Take A Ride That Unveils India's Phenomenal Images

Having Probed Different Destinations, Different Voyages the candid assessment was to book a train ride to A City where people after hosting guests during afternoon occasionally get witty. All prepared to leave on September 10 from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin the ride was supposed to unfurl true image of India where people cutting across party lines revel in New Delhi having steady ties with comity of nations in Asia. In Asia in particular India has friends and ties go back to 20th century when world tensions ebbed and some known to get going with kludge and having the edge.

Mountain Of Cash

New Delhi is sitting on a mountain of cash and as it inks towards less collections from GST the model thread of governance should be all about how to bring relief to the common man as post 2017 his aspirations have been canned. Less GST collections shouldn't usher in alarming bells as India should be a nation where aspirations and realisation should gell. Prices of essential commodities have skyrocketed and it is high time those items out of reach of common man should become affordable even if one has been removed from Nehru Place Commodity Section Cubicle. It is utmost important that manufacturers post GST Gen Next rate cut pass on the benefits to the consumers and if not done so it will bring in good quantum rumours. Rumours that economy is not fine/fertile and babudom fixated to the idea of fixing office tile. Once again to assert and alert that prices of essentials/ingredients should slump even in the face of those taking a call are plump.

As September 10 Approached

As September 10 approached and all ready to float came a reminder from home that let this ride be postponed as there was no word yet who would take the crown. As decided for once and all that ride has to be set aside the ticket was cancelled giving no illusion that those disbursing refund came in a transport that had malfunctioning axle. New date with new synergy was all I could look forward to as rides to South come with some associates of cabin crew. As and when the ride takes place it would be peppered with discourse on Sudan and Egypt and they are among host of nations that hand out with ease travel permit. These two nations have their set of challenges and distance of 1393 kms keeping them apart and there are men with hope essentially carrying Thai Baht. Let these two nations recognise the thunder that recurring steps to ensure emancipation would be welcome and this noble deed be with no hesitation. The ride could as well open doors to a discourse sprinkled with the food that one gets on board and drinks that make one learn by rote. Against the backdrop of longish ride and the destination that one would access would have tales making it excel as GIANT WITH NO STRESS.

The ride to enlist, the ride to test rail tracks of Indian Kit would take nearly 30 hours with no pressing need to take on second day shower. Let this ride unveil certitude and promise bonhomie that release with aplomb gratitude.
