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.

Accessing SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE In New Delhi

Accessing SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE In New Delhi

Having thought about visiting SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI Temple for a month or so, I decided to access the same on a Monday with Delhi Residents impartially young and not getting grey. The visit would have brought me in close contact with people hailing from South India as this is primarily a temple with South India roots and there may not be in this region noteworthy movement of boots. So I set out on a Monday and left Home at 9.30 AM going past Safdarjung Enclave Gate Number One and sighting pot holed roads with no pomegranate powers was no fun. Go past Comfort Point, Embassy Of The Republic Of Mali and directions to Chanakyapuri and JNU (JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY) having a neat tally. 

Reaching Africa Avenue

Reach Africa Avenue at 9.43 and I prime witness to bumper to bumper traffic and hope the speeding guns don't turn maverick. Reach Church Road at 9.43 and in quick succession came service road of Africa Avenue where thoughts are on JNU. Go past Central Govt Employee Residence which is home to babies, women and gents. By the time I access Sri Venkateswara  Mandir Marg it is 10 and in this very region at one point of time thundered Maruti Zen. Maruti Zen may have become history but Ambassador Cars on Kolkata Roads run on a sizeable territory. Almost the entire bulk of Ambassador cars run as taxis in Kolkata a city whose solid traits are recognised by Latin American nations with no degree of hesitation. There is receding pedestrian path to Munirka Desk/ Ber Sarai and by the time I enter SRI VAIKUNTANATHJI TEMPLE it is 10.15 and this sacred spot paid a visit by likes of teen. Sri Vaikuntanathji is at his prime best and my prayer session interspersed with bringing down of curtains and later lifting the same and we are in that part of India where robust attempts to rekindle ties with neighbouring nations should be more and not bare minimum with closed door. As Priests are from South India I wonder how they cope with biting cold of Delhi with temperatures plummeting to single digit and most missing their ferry.

Leaving Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple And Heading To SBI In Bhikaji Cama Place

By the time I come out of Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple it is 10.45 and reach Bhikaji Cama Place at 11.05. Directions to State Bank Of India (State Bank Of India Is Prime Public Sector Bank In India) are not hard to fathom and SBI carries high value transaction at random. Cash Officer probably going by the name Mr Vijay Kumar is kind enough to sort out my queries and he is as affable to those who have zodiac sign Aries.

Monday was the day when the walk to Sri Vaikuntanathji Temple consumed all of 45 minutes and would the GST Gen Next rate cut pass on to consumers can only be known in October and not in jest.

Thoughts On Addis Ababa And Accessing Middle Sections Of Delhi On A Monday Which Is Redeem Day For African GABA

Thoughts On Addis Ababa And Accessing Middle Sections Of Delhi On A Monday Which Is Redeem Day For African GABA

As our thoughts are on Addis Ababa and the inaugural spell of celebrations marking arrival of 2018 (behind western calendar by seven years) we hope those in attendance and taking all along would be punch goal of this Ethiopian City and most likely to invite officials of EV. Officials of EV and ED are not one and the same and here in Addis Ababa by God's Grace there is no ED Game. Apart from keeping a tab on developments in Addis Ababa the weeks gone by provided ripe opportunity to gain access to Middle Sections Of Delhi seeking a reprieve from a weather that spelt rains with no gains. Left Home On A Monday at 8.10 AM with series of buses going to Sarai Kale Khan the destination much visited by followers of Tennis Icon Ivan. Reach Nauroji Nagar bus stand at 8.17 and board 578 at 8.20 knowing fully well in this city no one can get haughty. There are directions to INA Market, Connaught Place, India Gate having understood there is campaign of affection in Ireland and here one need not wait. Deboard at INA KIDWAI NAGAR and there is mad scramble to get into bus number 460 and I desist from taking this set of transport and board 433 at 8.38 when India The Nation seeks to repair ties with giants in territory Asian. 

Go Past Safdarjung Flyover, Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan

Go past Safdarjung Flyover, Safdarjung Airport and Rajiv Gandi Bhawan and movement of traffic on road seems to be even. Go past Tughlaq Road, Tughlaq Crescent, Akbar Road with noting made that closure of Krishna Menon Marg may not stay for long irrespective of who are skipping bathing in pond. Ponds are part and parcel of most households in West Bengal State the very province that is A Grade. With Moti Lal Nehru Road accessed at 8.45 and here barrage of commuters deboard chances are some may be denied vote hope. Go past Udyog Bhawan, Railway Bhawan Metro Station, Krishi Bhawan, Jantar Mantar Road, Ashoka Road and gaining access to Parliament Street (Sansad Marg) at 8.55 with no reports on who has debating skills and is Parliament High. Rumours about security about this place may kick in and here remedial measures should come in. 

Deboard At Palika Kendra With Dollar Stored By Sandra

Deboard at Palika Kendra at 8.56 with notable absentee members of grouping BRICS. Walk past Kwality Restaurant with memories strong about visits to this acclaimed cafe in the past. Precisely that time when One Dollar stored by the likes of Sandra was tight enough to get at the most Rs 20 and Indian Currency not on a slide and not fed on a reverse trade diet. Go past REGAL, RIVOLI Cinema Theatres and hope they have functional paratroopers. Get inside Lord Hanuman Temple at 9.05 and come out soon with Delhi locals speaking inside temple maintaining high decibel intensity as if it was yawning June. Meet Mr Ram after 6-7 years and finding him fit brings cheers. Few minutes later get inside another temple and another going by the name GANESHJI Temple and come out at 9.32 when India has vast fields to raise coffee brew. Board 433 at 9.40 and go past Parliament Street, Akashvani, Rafi Marg, Udyog Bhawan, Moti Lal Nehru Road. Go past Tughlaq Road, Sri Aurobindo Marg and reach INA at 9.58 with bumper to bumper traffic seen through the prism of those who have the habit of reaching office carrying mineral water crate. Deboard here with expletives released by those who are Mithila Pawn and board 569 with no thoughts on buses with no bruises that carry in bulk clown. Expletives are much gaining traction in Hindi Heartland and nothing of that verbal misnomer of sorts to be seen in Japan. Deboard at Raj Nagar and reach home at 10.55 with Delhi residents slowly getting aware of pains of reckless drive. Pen drive may store the import of reckless driving engaged in the city of Delhi with some getting verbal blast hourly.

As this outing to Middle Sections  Of Delhi was accomplished on a Monday the following weeks were witness to churn in world order and we pray no one violates sovereignty of sheet of nations and they are able to safeguard their border.
