Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Weeks Ago, Satellite Towns In A Row

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Weeks Ago, Satellite Towns In A Row

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Weeks Ago, efforts have been to put to prudent usage power and water in a nation where there are exchange of letters from as unheard of places as mobile tower. Power and water don't come dirt cheap as New Delhi The City is amidst satellite towns that time and again exchange letters on all those who are going to make a big leap. Primarily these towns are Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad with calls coming from unexpected quarters of Wazirabad. Calls could well be about booking reference number for new gas refill which has tales to reveal. If booking reference number does not land up on your lap chances are DAC (Delivery Authentication Code) may be a trap. There are occasions when these satellite towns could not connect with DAC as some of the residents secured rail tickets in RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation). RAC tickets meant for travel to Thrissur in Kerala Province (Kerala Province Is In South India) to raise voice for stalling the last quarter dividend. Last quarter dividend one was hoping to lay hands on but authorities were besieged to hold talks on tanks least looking to be a con. Talks all about the much-needed push the water and power bills have received leading to inflated campaign to roll back the new tariffs which hurts the budget of those going by the name Mr Alif.

Up Against Myriad Of Challenges

These satellite towns are up against myriad of challenges emanating from shuttle service employed to deliver water for ages. These satellite towns and some sectors here are in search for water, reduced flow declining to drops every passing quarter. Why creaking infrastructure one comes across these towns no one knows in a nation where few have the intent to check proceedings in bourse. From roads to rail authenticity has less prospects to tail. Most residing here do visit Delhi to check the power and water rates, and finding some in the habit to berate hand them Kinley mineral water crate. Residents of these towns as well visit Delhi to probe the probability of they getting a confirmed rail ticket as against RAC in a nation dressed up to hail the arrival of DAC. If they are still miles away from getting a confirmed berth despite visiting Delhi, they blame it on elusive DAC and later spend the savings on snack brand hully gully. For these residents, the ride to Thrissur not having materialised, they deem fit to surprise authorities by demanding new price of rice. From water to whisper all come at a price, these residents as well bemoan the fact that they have set aside the Thrissur itinerary thrice.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, The Return Ride From Chhatarpur Almost Low

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, The Return Ride From Chhatarpur Almost Low

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, the ride to Chhatarpur in South West Delhi kept hopes alive that spate of rallies would be taken out in parts of country to bring awareness as innings of some looking tenuous. Tenuous for the very fact that those in Opposition Space have not been heard on issues as important as reigning high prices of milk, butter and curd. Those in Opposition seldom feel that issues bothering common man have not been attended to despite big-budget spending by plane crew. Those in Opposition, who have been silenced by series of raids and retribution, reveal such turn of events come with no hesitation. This impression was what one gained through and through while staying put in Chhatarpur, and having spent almost an hour here boarded auto (Auto is one set of public transport in India on three wheels which passengers in city after city court sporting enough zeal) with Mr Arif at the helm crossing swords with none. No sooner I had taken a seat Mr Arif claimed this back to back traffic in the city of Delhi won't leave space for those intended to take out education rally. Education rally for the sheer fact that some students are taking extreme steps for having been tormented by their mentor, the picture across institutions be it IITs to those having come up in the '80s is one of discord with some having been caught unveiling hate plot. 

Leaving Goddess Katyayani Temple, Checking Delhi Traffic Flow Hurting Each Bro

As the auto left Goddess Katyayani Temple by a good margin, Mehrauli Archaeological Park evinced interest hoping to rope in good number of guests. As the auto went past Ahinsa Sthal, thoughts again turned to Ajmer Shrine (Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah) as well as Lord Shreenath Abode in Nathdwara (Rajasthan Province In West India) visited by many including those going by the name Deora. Go past IIT Delhi at 1.08 PM followed by Sri Venkateswara Mandir Marg in a nation where any quantum of dissent pushes the tribe raising voice to proceedings that are dark. Mr Arif wished to know would I be taking service road as Africa Avenue was choc a bloc with different set of vehicles hoping to reach destinations at a speed that was hysterical. Speedsters better be warned, Delhi won't host vehicles that set in series of alarm. By the time one came out of service road, having truly entered Safdarjung Enclave colony, better the trade deal remain in a passage largely chorny. Are we here to pander to whims and fancies of high command of Westwestton who can't even run? From Green Fields School took a left turn to escape traffic behemoth as the city is yet to get into winter knot. When I deboarded, Mr Arif declined to have water maintaining he would better take rest for some time as this gargantuan traffic by all means looking grand would make one worn out, I as well exhausted after this day outing bout. This was the day when world prayed that none of those living in the hills face landslides as people are fed up of climate change seeking a toll, making a good number in for the long haul. This was the day when realisation dawned that greenhouse gas emissions if not checked in time can impose all-season fine hurting the segment as unbeatable as one wishing to dine.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, The Auto Ride On A Day When Most Were Sporting Fabric White

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, The Auto Ride On A Day When Most Were Sporting Fabric White

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, the ride to Chhatarpur (South West Delhi) came with the promise that at some point of time India would host Lithuanian country music band Jonis. Jonis gives lively performance not known as Lithuania residents do stick to POAM (Plan Of Action And Milestones). Action to be initiated, milestones to be reached in a nation not witness to security breach. Lithuania is one of the three Baltic States, Estonia and Latvia make the other ones, affordable or expensive information on them at the moment looking tentative. As thoughts swirled around Lithuania, I left Safdarjung Enclave home on a Wednesday at 11.30 AM unmindful of which part of the city there were sessions on AGM (Annual General Meeting). Boarded auto at 11.38 flanked by desire that the ride one should not berate. Mr Manoj was the automan looking unsettled barely able to keep thoughts to himself that this aforementioned ride was no less than a riddle. Go past Mohammadpur, go past ST.Thomas Church sending reminders that latter was established in 1972 when there were no sessions of purge. Thoughts on Ajmer Shrine (Ajmer Shrine Is In Rajasthan Province In West India) as well as on Tirumala (Tirumala Is In Andhra Pradesh In South India) with this set of transport going past Central Soil And Materials Research Station (Ber Sarai) in a nation where there are staggered classes in aviation. 

We Are On Aruna Asaf Ali Road

As we are on Aruna Asaf Ali Marg in quick succession come DDA Flats where there are those sporting dimple and wearing hats. As the auto heads towards Lal Bahadur Shastri Sanskrit Vidyapeeth followed by Indian Statistical Institute Delhi Centre, there are gates from where Katwaria Sarai Village one can enter. Having reached T Point, the auto turns right with Rivaz Hotel And Restaurant looking to be prominent. Go past MMTC, go past Phirni Road, go past Delhi Vintage Co. perhaps likely to give nod for Autumn Tourney. Go past Masjid Haji Ali Jan. As one spots Ahinsa Sthal with good number gathered there, directions to Faridabad, Gurugram, Chhatarpur and Vasant Kunj should not bring in lumpsum water fear. By the time one gained accessed to Goddess Katyayani Temple it was 12.15 with India all set to play out series of protests to make masses vigilant as the nation would shy to hold big- budget pageant. This ride coming with no guide can test anyone's patience as Delhi's back to back traffic can bring together all forgotten entities from Asian Nations.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, one has been preoccupied with thoughts on next destination to touch, next destination where there is no apparent campaign to purge as the voter list in the city of Delhi has deleted rightful claimants including those who have never been tenants. Hours to days, days to weeks have passed since one filled Form 6 (Election Commission Of India Form), yet there are apprehensions more names from the voting list in the long run would get nixed. Better be prepared to take that eventful ride to a corridor near Guruvayur where at random there are inescapable dots on those who have not been tied in knots. 

Sheet To Share, Sheet To Stare

The sheet to share and the sheet to stare convey there are three set of trains expected to leave on Tuesday to Guruvayur corridor with most of the matches this day getting postponed as one won't be able to figure out AI CLONE. Millennium Express (Train Number 12646) comes with Waiting List 3AC 16, 2AC WL 2, Mangladweep Express (12618) 3AC WL 11 2AC WL 2, Thiruvanthapuram Rajdhani (12432) 3AC WL 37, 2AC 13, 1AC 2, and better be prepared during course of journey there is change in train crew. As wait, wait and wait looks enduring, chances are ride would be tried by some sporting ear ring. Ride for the sheer fact that ample rains are expected in the coming weeks in and around Guruvayur with none getting rude. As for temperatures to watch and share some hours ago, it was 29 in Delhi and Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh Province In South India), Kotagiri and Kodanada View Point 22 ( Tamil Nadu Province In South India) with Udhagamandalam (Tamil Nadu Province) at 18 with reminders sent on assignments that are pending. One such is inflation seeking series of dictation vis-a-vis emancipation. Procrastination has been the fierce battle to douse inflation fire with cooking oils Saffola to Sundrop most finding it arduous to hire. Call to Mr Garg to get Saffola can of the past where price was sitting pretty at Rs 465 was met with deft response that new stocks priced Rs 505 are on the shelf with this being entertained by those who are expected to write TOEFL. This inflation and that unemployment sentence that most have been subjected to looks grand, efforts to cap would lead to series of guys in Delhi getting canned. Canned, and with job market looking tight, they would set for hills where payments would be made by card reminding them of pre 2014 thrill that did not hit them hard.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, Less Likelihood In These Muggy Days To Apply Deo

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, Less Likelihood In These Muggy Days To Apply Deo

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, the ride to Delhi Airport on a Thursday wasn't a seesaw battle despite buses not plying, letting none to release spoof on this commuting hurdle. Buses that were parked in depots refused to move letting set of auto guys to get into the groove. Groove where they could upstage their earnings knowing very well they were in for long innings. Having reached airport, the quote from previous day was all about possible vacant slots in Thiruvanthapuram Rajdhani (Thiruvanthapuram Is Capital Of Kerala In South India) going all the way to a corridor near Guruvayur where at random people go on a tour.  Status to verify, status to cherish dictated proceedings of no vacant seats with 3AC Waiting List 75, 2AC WL 22 and 1AC WL 8 for train expected to depart on Sunday carrying food in crate. As for air tourney, Delhi airport least desired to dispense information on flights to Guruvayur roundabout, and here departures proving to be a bout. Departures from here were to as varied places as Hong Kong, Kathmandu, Phuket, Dehradun, Sharjah, Singapore, Bengaluru, Chennai, Tashkent, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Guwahati, Kolkata, Jeddah and Ahmedabad with surroundings yet to open chapter for those who wish to play cards. Departures on flights to Guruvayur/Thrissur roundabout were not on board, hoping by turn of this year ample discoveries would come on turncoats. Turncoats who rebelled against leadership may well find new home to be equally unstable, leader of the lot staging tsunami in set of parties may discover a new rebel.

No Flights To Corridor Near Guruvayur, Trains With No Seats Pit Them Against Those Performing Gigs

With flights to Guruvayur/ Thrissur roundabout not to be seen, India may well design plans to unveil new segment of teens. Teens in tons are the new section witnessing paradigm shift, each party wants to woo them bit by bit. Teens among others were the ones in full play while I was on a visit to Delhi airport where officials are flooded with requests that better they be upgraded to business class as flights invariably get delayed to Davos. In the heat of the moment, some break into fisticuffs, having discovered they were not upgraded, moments spent in economy they all along dreaded. This request and that reset on black tea illuminated findings that in three kiosks in and around this airport port no beverage came under Rs 100, masala tea shooting to Rs 160 and beyond, and this known to those residing in West Bengal Province's Kalimpong (West Bengal Is In East India). With no success on black tea, I deemed fit to leave the premises, reaching Dhaula Kuan (Dhaula Kuan Is In Heart Of New Delhi) from airport with fewer transport choices. From Dhaula Kuan I was on foot to walk all the way to South Moti Bagh from where bus rides were all in gwag. From here I hailed an auto with Mr Ali at the helm who all along knew the procrastination tussle it looked for prices of essential commodities to come down in a nation where every decade there is a new claimant to the crown. I was on ring road with no swift thoughts on Tamil Nadu's Erode, the back to back traffic suggesting this stretch losing momentum to this unforgiving load. By the time I reached Safdarjung Enclave home, the art to divulge new hope on train seats in Thiruvanthapuram Rajdhani ran out of steam, better true for those who were lean with no desire to be King.

As for making Delhi liveable, each and every colony this message should pass that drinking in public place would invite unbelievable fine. Had this message been circulated, Manipuri musician Changtham Vikram Singh would have carried on. Need to underscore NorthEast people are welcome here.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Days Ago, there have been random thoughts on Delhi Airport with those who have been assigned to earmark areas that have seen drought are the ones who vote rote by rote. Reports are next to nil on drought as there have been ample rainfall with fewer stretches in South India wishing to set in motion rain call. From Delhi Airport one could with ease take private jet/ copter to scan proceedings across length and breadth of country, and those doing so could have findings on drought entry. Drought of 1987 was severe as there was hardly a drop in a spate of river. That was the decade when India triumphed in staging Asian Games with no hint of malfeasance by even those who claimed to be saints. That was the decade when Delhi had sole Palam Airport with more finding Indian Airlines and Air India easy to float. Of late Air India has been getting bad press, acquisition perhaps under duress. One can't map out details of what hits this airline hard, Tata Sons and Tata Trusts speaking in one voice should be the Indian award. Differences should be set aside as there are more goals to chase, more aspirations to raise as there are millions who raise a prayer for this Group wishing they and others be kept in the loop. Coming to other airlines they too are in a spot of bother as handshake moments can't get them the reliable brother. Against this backdrop I decided to visit Delhi Airport which from Safdarjung Enclave is almost 19 kms, and those maintaining the tab are as well from Tamil Nadu's Erode. Leave Safdarjung Enclave at 11.02 on a Thursday (September 17 ) with board of Saraswati Music College and no honking inside colony looking to be true. 

Buses On Strike, Taking Auto No Surprise

Mr Jayesh is the one who hands over white sheet of paper followed by a deserted bus stand in the face of no buses on road as the earnings the staff is getting can't get them day to evening toast. Prices are skyrocketing, milk to rice quantity plummeting, PGs in ramshackle environs seeing series of students vacating. Students from Hindi Heartland to Southern Section finding the going tough as they all along believed proceedings in PGs won't be rough. As I hail auto with Mr Akash from Etah in Uttar Pradesh (Uttar Pradesh Is In Hindi Heartland, Etah almost 230 kms from New Delhi via National Highway 34) at the helm, I can sense roads minus buses would be hitting hard those with limited wages. As one went past GAIL The Lifeline Of India's Energy Bhikaji Cama Place, R K Puram Sector 12, there were some seeking directions to Airport having worked in DoT (Department of Telecom). Soon came Motibagh Flyover followed by MCD CO-ED SCHOOL with hints on Nanakpura looking to be cool. Satya Niketan accessed followed by Dhaula Kuan hosting innumerable guests. There was RSRTC (RAJASTHAN STATE ROADWAYS TRANSPORT CORPORATION) bus ahead of us, and inmates under no stress. From Dhaula Kuan Mumbai Expressway 40 kms, Jaipur 295 with no rumours rife. Here series of buses with no bruises going to Rajasthan (Rajasthan Is A Province In West India) like Jaipur, Bilaspur, Alwar, hope speedsters take a careful ride in Hummer. By the time I reached Delhi Airport it was well past 11.55 with cafeteria refusing black tea of mild size. Black tea that could not be gained with reports on weather suggesting for next three days there won't be rain.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago; Preparations Underway For Goddess Durga Festival

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago; Preparations Underway For Goddess Durga Festival

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, the rush and reservoir of support to gain access to Middle Section Of Delhi were less irrespective of public transport seeking new set of customers that were under no stress. On a Wednesday (September 9) left home after 8.30 AM to reach Nauroji Nagar where series of buses were eager. All I looked forward to was gaining access to bus number New Delhi Railway Station Gate Number 2 CBD (-2) at a time when most of trains across India have change in crew. Change in crew so that they are able to go through Habibganj Corridor (Madhya Pradesh Province In Middle Section Of India) where people by and large have interactions largely candour. For nearly 40 minutes the bus did not turn up making mandatory to seek auto with thoughts on Protocol Kyoto. How much has been achieved on climate change since this treaty came into force almost 30 years ago hard to figure out as mission to limit greenhouse gas emission is very much in doubt. Temperatures are set to vault as appliances to run and cars to take umpteen turn won't lose steam even if the one to take brief is a new King.

Boarding Auto To Reach Middle Section

Board auto at 9.25, go past Sri Vinayak Mandir Marg with the road in a dilapidated state, with no word yet on march from India Gate. Go past Sarojini Nagar Railway Station, Navy Children School where at random vigil is maintained to keep students cool. This ride touched places as varied as Chanakyapuri, Yashwant Place, Akbar Bhawan, Satya Marg, Shanti Path with those visiting Ajmer Shrine (Ajmer Is In Rajasthan Province In West India) very well knew the areas where they can take a break in a hut. Go past Kautilya Marg much witness to back to back traffic with speed guns halted, and this nation least likely to get intimidated by trade tariff for now looking restive. Trade tariff in a bowl won't get the benefits to those who have ties with Mr Carron who can pose. When the serpentine traffic queue evaporated we were in Sardar Patel Marg followed by Mother Teresa Crescent, and from here the passage by all means irreversible pageant. No sooner there are directions to Dhaula Kuan, Karol Bagh and Connaught Place with thoughts on Kinley Mineral Water Chase. By the time Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Marg accessed, we very well knew in this muggy weather one would have to adjust. Having reached Kali Bari Mandir Marg ( Goddess Kali Temple), one hopes it is well lit when it is pitch dark. Having stayed inside, all one could think of preparations underway for Durga Puja (Festival To Hail The Arrival And Add Paean To Miracles Of Goddess Durga). There was not much happening on ground with a sole worker here and another there at work who are likely to gain pound. Hope the arrangements to get the stage on which Idol Of Goddess Durga is placed does not look cluttered; proceedings are revered. Hope the work underway gains pace as less than a month is left to be part of Goddess Durga Prayer Craze. Moments later visited Lord Govinda Temple run by TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam), and here perhaps for a decade there won't be the need to furnish ID. 

Moments later left the place with likely reminders that ground abutting Navy Children School as well has Goddess Durga Idol during the festival, better visit the same in nick of time as tariff would lose appeal less likely to look giant. This tariff some maintained here is a sham, and in due course of time likely to look like defunct PAN AM. As the return ride accomplished in public transport, the hope that the city could get over traffic riddle soon was misplaced, the city hosting dignitaries who are yet to get familiar with New Delhi eateries.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, With Thoughts On Visa-Free Entry In Tow

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, With Thoughts On Visa-Free Entry In Tow

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, there have been reports on a spate of nations offering visa-free entry for Indian travellers, duration lasting from 15 days to as long as 90 ace. These nations recognising the need to believe that travellers from India should explore their home turf where cleanliness is of paramount importance with no rough conduct gaining audience. Campaigns on visa-free entry are all designed to free visitors from travelling pandemonium where visa to seek and visa to snatch let happy moments get detached. Happy moments where dollar desk is not likely to be visited as visa-free entry is for days in double digit. From here on travellers from India have been praying that visa-free entry stay true for days in triple digit as there are multiple guys willing to swim with foursome dollar ice. Foursome dollar ice that could get them the ice cone on visits abroad they desire, as in some sections of India authentic milk in recent days is not in ample supply primarily noted by those going by the name Tasire. Foursome dollar ice that could get them the hills to chase and surroundings with sound base to face irrespective of inclement weather turning some moments haze.

Commute In NCR Not Looking Cute

Foursome dollar ice that could get them limousine of their choice on visits to foreign destinations, and this need not be only when kids have vacations. With commute to some of the schools in NCR  (National Capital Region Of Delhi ) like Gurgaon and Faridabad looking tedious, as some yet to get over long winding sinkhole on roads, and here parents do believe it would be better for family to take a ride to Uzbekistan than let kids do school chants. Schools where some could not file attendance as the infrastructure all along the route was creaking with rooftops of buses that could take them leaking. From reports of university clashes to please powers that be to female journos from minority beaten blue and black in the heart of national capital to make reporting look archival, Indian travellers would like to take a break, and herein Uzbekistan could be a CAKE. They very well understand that might of state came down on journalists in Hindi belt as they reported facts on temple theft. Never in the history of country journos in the line of duty felt scared, all to blame is the regime that is feared. Regime that won't let the impasse surrounding journos recede, and from Ghaziabad to Kolkata media men facing regime heat. Uzbekistan could well provide answers to Indian travellers on dilemma media men are in, by the turn of this year they might win. Uzbekistan has announced 30-day visa-free entry for Indian travellers, goading them to come and feel this Central Asian State that has impressive traits. Those having arrived from South India multiple days ago do feel the need to pass on the word that this Central Asian Region Is A Pearl. This Central Asian nation with this set of tourism plan for Indians understands this tribe has fondness to travel despite some maintaining the stance let they have the freedom to babble. This Central Asian nation expected to see flood of Indian visitors post Festival of Diwali as from November to February they would be least interested in stock market push in a season that would be witness to less fusion. For the moment, all eyes are on Chess Olympiad in Samarkand in Uzbekistan slated to take place between September 15 and 27 with some players expected to gain hour by hour traction.

As of now, 27 countries let Indians have visa-free entry ranging from Nepal, Bhutan, Malaysia, Thailand, Mauritius, Maldives, Seychelles to Special Access Regions like Rwanda, Senegal and Angola with some visitors expected from Palm Resort Addela. Now this list gets padded up with Uzbekistan with some weekly direct flights, hope they are able to maintain requisite heights. Fun would surely begin if the roads to city airports in India are less home to traffic jam in ton. Fun would surely begin if some took road to Tashkent, given the unchecked global warming leading to flights to flirt in the air  with road trip not necessarily mired in mystery enlisting nominal cash share.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, thoughts punch towards Habibganj Corridor  (Madhya Pradesh Province In Middle Section Of India) with no pressing need for trains to take a detour. Habibganj Corridor has been of significance of late as varied set of trains have been keeping the date.  Date to carry multiple load of passengers who are confirmed to get familiar with returns made by Tamil Movie Gangers. Gangers some would have liked it to be a super duper hit as it essayed the empire of underworld don with some keeping seldom watch bit by bit. It has been over a year since the movie was released, notable reminders coming from Mumbai 's Santacruz breeze. This breeze and that corridor lends the gut feeling that GDP numbers are no asymptotic, here to configure out won't be an exercise noetic. Tales and tips on GDP are all about to show the economy is not in a spot of bother irrespective of those aligned to believe rupee is tied in knots against dollar.

As Economy Ages...

This corridor would essentially send the message that as economy ages there would be different set of rulers who would be honest enough to set out numbers that at appropriate time get acknowledged by those taking public transport redBUS. Taking redBUS with a view to debate frank set of numbers on GDP by those who did not have the intent to amass that much to own series of Lamborghini Urus. The speed to wipe out the Opposition Space, and the scale to set in revision electoral rolls to economy that is in a pause has been humongous; this effort conveying the present set of term by all means looking tenuous. The speed with which one sets on foreign jaunts with preparations made in race course bourse would alarm the followers of Beyonce. Time is running out as one would be short of heft to hit one continent here one there as one never knows from which corner would emerge the decade old fear. This corridor would continue to evince interest as news of those having the mighty fall be it cricket or those keeping a tab on electoral wicket won't surprise naysayers as those feeling the heat had airs. 

On The Back Of SIR Power Tower

This corridor would remain uncontested for the very fact that it had foresight to visualise who were slayers of press freedom operating on the back of SIR Kingdom. SIR Kingdom would continue to be a riddle targeting those on the margins of society despite they having more than nominal ID. It is just not symbolic imprints that SIR is leaving; in a nation of FIR/SIR, this has been orchestrated by those who are not even VIR having not got endeared to NIR. This SIR SENTENCING that those in minorities and weaker sections have been subjected to would leave the poll panel with no clue. This corridor would flag issues arising from global warming be it hills of Uttaranchal to glacial heights of Nepal, the erosion of disciplined tribe to respect nature thereby exposing millions to have sessions of curvature. Introspection to invent where one had erred, constructions consternations to appliances running with no break hesitations thereby not letting the nature bird purr.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago With Thoughts On Esuru Leading To Revolt By Those Who Were By No Means Dolt

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago With Thoughts On Esuru Leading To Revolt By Those Who Were By No Means Dolt

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, thoughts veer around the need to get a ticket to Bengaluru with some reminding of significant outreach by village Esuru. Esuru in Shivamogga district of Karnataka ( Karnataka Is A Province In South India ) was the first village to declare itself independent from British rule during Quit India Movement of 1942, and the Empire which India out and out rue. This clarion call from Esuru lend Indians Pedestal of Hope elucidating freedom was very much within grasp, and colonial entourage losing hour by hour courage. In the next 16 years this place would augur centenary celebrations hailing the will and wisdom of people who had masses behind them to turn rebel. Esuru from New Delhi is 1966 kms, and going there by personal transport would consume 33 hours with some breaking journey to take showers. 

Thoughts On Chess Trio

For the next century-and-a-half those with colonial mindset would dither to visit India what to talk about Esuru, a nation that is decked up to throw away delimitation maelstrom that is dismissed as trivia. That was one part of Karnataka, those wishing to lead the charge would like some to visit Bengaluru, and this ably noted by news bureau. Taking the giant stride to Karnataka's Capital would require the fun of taking Bengaluru Rajdhani on dates when one is confident to complete the journey. For September 2 and September 7 in 2AC the reading is RAC 24 and RAC 9 illustrating this set of train retains all through the year shine. For dates prior to Sept 2 and post Sept 7, the period when felicitation bell would be sounded for cabin crew, waiting list is all one can see even for those who have fascination to be Chess Lee. Chess is a noble territory often visited by those with foresight and prudence, hoping the trio in India get the right guidance. Trio of D Gukesh, R Praggnanandhaa and Arjun Erigaisi have been creating waves of late delivering mixed results, hope in the months to come they would shine with augment of drizzle.

Elevated Ring Road Won't Take Away Commuting Blues

So planning a journey to Bengaluru is an odd task as confirmed seats are few and far perhaps looking durable for the month of November when host of guys would file new tender. Tender to raise one underpass here and another elevated road there with no fear.  Bottleneck bordering congestion one comes across, be it New Delhi, Bengaluru or Chennai with folded belly. Let the thought of elevated ring road in New Delhi be set aside as this would make the exchequer turn from rock solid to unstable, moolah lost in the rubble babble. Turning the screws on number of vehicles that ply on road can be sanguine advice, little to show here other choice. Let the vehicles drop by a fraction to see easy commuting gain traction. That is easier said than done in a nation where chess and tennis would raise followers in ton. Followers who don't put up ruckus on sheets of play knowing fairly well these games are on screens that invariably drop hints. As for followers of soccer, coming to the stadia in double decker buses with no bruises, seething with anger one moment here, another there can make them blow up, and herein lies the rub. Soccer fans are not frisked till the last hour, exposing the game to incendiary threats who hold the power. Frisking is mandatory be it airport or club house as there are some with innings of grouse. Innings of grouse as some got canned for doing due diligence of projects that were a sham.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, the visit to Tirumala was not on my itinerary when I left home in a city where there are separate set of trains going to Chennai zone. Chennai  (Tamil Nadu Province In South India) which I accessed in the month of July followed by Coimbatore, Kotagiri, Kodanada View Point and Udhagamandalam with residents sailing in a section much above humdrum. Residents of these places whom I came across were content with average earnings hoping to bide time till the weather clears with off and on sighting on tv monitors of polo bears. Polo bears they won't be lucky to have on home turf, temperatures plummeting below Zero degrees celsius still won't be inviting enough to get them on shelf. Would polo bears ever make an apperance in Udhagamandalam this century few know as this is plastic free zone, and sentiments to this effect plough. Polo bears largely can be spotted in Canada, Norway, Greenland, Russia and the US with some in corridor of remunerative  stress. Remunerations they get more than handful, and yet they are least capable to douse world fires with their tool. Stress Pageant which by any yardstick they could not improve, on surface these 20 months there are enough proof. 

Turning The Gauge On Saturn; Udhagamandalam Should As Well Be No Smoking Zone

Proof was what I needed to latch on to a train to TIRUMALATirupati with Sabari Super Fast Express (20630) from Coimbatore putting on table vacant seats in dynamic pricing kits. Dynamic pricing is all about prices at high end for train seats given the surge in demand perhaps likely to stay for eon. As I secured ticket with just three seats left, there was no word yet on student movement heft, and would this lead in the administration to long series of rift? Answers may well lie in visits one takes to distant places like Udhagamandalam where the need to gauge the changing weather pattern is as strong as getting hints on planet Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun (1.4 billion kilometres), celebrated as the second largest in the solar system with pearls of wisdom. Recent inputs on Saturn have been few and far, by the turn of this century discoveries may come hour by hour. Discoveries that could well be for the common good increasing the intentional span of those who detest to be rude. For years together, Udhagamandalam has stayed as plastic free zone, urgency should be to declare as no smoking zone as well irrespective of who get the thrill by setting on fire smoking bell. No smoking zone may disrobe some of their income, and here in public interest this measure should kick in making the entire community remain blessed. 

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Ago, bathing has been in lukewarm water, and this equally true for those who report for news agency Reuters. Reuters and other news agencies could do a world of good if they bring to the fore issues that tail the wheels of India, reportage factual and inviting fusillade of opinion on village schools that are neutral.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago 

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, one has lost count of number of times one had white rice, and those invited to the dais. Probably it would stand at 25 in a span of 18 days in 18 ways. Having white rice for 25 times is no mean task as I ventured to South (South India) where youngsters are aware of issues facing the nation including the terrain of aviation. Having white rice in areas as diverse as Kotagiri, Udhagamandalam, Coonoor, Coimbatore (High Beaming Spots Of Tamil Nadu Province In South India), TIRUMALATirupati (Andhra Pradesh Province In South India), there was no pressing need to establish contact with Turkmenistan HoD. Turkmenistan HoD particularly in Ashgabat city would have flagged the issue of umpteen intake of white rice as this won't be approved by young followers of Condoleezzaa Rice who have off and on won the sprint prize. Sprint prize to speak up for those who could not lead life of dignity in the face of fewer resources to avail basic necessity. 

Young Elements Waging Battle In Forests That Are Dense

Young elements across world initiating posts on trouble spots, and those at the helm finding it no easy to set in motion  interrogation plots. Interrogation to make the opponents look crestfallen, and this very much believed in distant Holland. Here in India, the young tribe knows it won't be left out in the crowd, and would be part of dais proceedings from Bengaluru to Beawar where in prominence would be those batting for sizeable innings. Time is ripe youth are involved back and forth in decision-making as unemployment issues gather storm hitting the base of those who believed they could do no wrong. Time is ripe as well to put in place an administrator who doesn't dither to pass verdict on unwarranted foreign travels that have struck unbelievable blow on exchequer, and this notably noted by those taking ride in buses with no bruises like double decker. Administrator who won't add paean to those holding inflation cane. Staggered inflation hits the home budget fast, irrevocable has been verdict on those having the ruling pass. Administrator who would dig deep to trace what nails railways to airways, suggesting remedies that for the next one year lead them to keep ace with pace.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, temperatures of 34 to 36 degrees celsius brings no cheers. Muggy afternoon plays spoilsport, and stepping out one is prevented rote by rote.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago, temperatures during day time have been peaking to 34 Degrees Celsius as against 18 in Udhagamandalam and 20 in Kodanada View Point (Tamil Nadu Province) with temperatures in North India all set to soar and remain giant. North India experiencing excessive heat as well to stay till October beat. Excessive temperatures that let thousands give miss to air travel round the country as malfunctioning aero parts need to be attended to thereby giving the aviation administrator the much-needed clue. 

Aircraft Components Be Salvaged And Saved

Aircraft components are precious, let they be salvaged and saved with no chats on who maintain nexus. Airborne elements be kept under scrutiny as there could be challenges by very forces that down the decades may be eyeing mutiny. As tens of thousands give miss to air travel, what are the options on table to not let them turn rebel. Here train travel making less babble?
It was a chance sighting of seat availability in Chennai Rajdhani train leaving from Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Station going all the way to Chennai where people at random go on vacation. This passing Tuesday there were vacant seats in general category as against waiting in Tatkal (Priority Booking Now And Then Lurking) in a nation where in dishevelled corridor one finds rolls that are electoral. (Revised electoral rolls are not the sum and substance of those likely to vote as eligible voters have been repeatedly left out, and this in passing months would bloat). Perhaps officials realised with fewer taking to air travel, better would be the idea to unveil the general category seat availability, and this by no means would add to rail liability. Rail liability that officials don't suspect for the coming months as all eyes are on train connectivity on tracks that should stay strong anticipating no hacks.

Some Finding This To Be Scruffy

Some find the aerial adventure to be scruffy and messy as one has to report to airport at least two to three hours in advance, most caught in traffic conundrum leading them to make calls to Cannes to get over tidings that are tense. Once having reached the airport from passenger frisking to baggage scrutiny some in the gathering raise hands in despair; airport authorities yet to ascertain which set of power cable to water travail in need of urgent repair. Post security check in comes the message that aircraft departure has been rescheduled as incoming flight has experienced turbulence, and this has been the new rule. Passengers from previous day to the new day are made to bide time, anxiety pangs hard to dislodge as their destination city new booking won't be accepted by lodge. Once they are airborne, they are told that weather in host city is raining blows, they would be dropped in nearby city where on arrival they would be offered rose. Trials and tribulations of travelling by air is meddlesome for middle class that here in this South Asian nation is in sizeable sum. Sizeable sum that did not let the powers that be read the writing on the wall that from breathtaking inflation to temperatures soaring are what keeping the populace agitated, and with village schools in dire straits, the fun of having steady basic foundation gets baked.

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi Multiple Hours Ago

Having Arrived In New Delhi multiple hours ago, some on board Bengaluru Rajdhani were taken aback by assuming this ride to India's Capital would take over 33 hours with I some days ago parking in Andhra Pradesh' s SUPRABATH TOWERS (Andhra Pradesh Is A Province In South India True To Turn Giant Alongside Tamil Nadu Much Known To Let Freedom Fly In Group Eenadu). SUPRABATH TOWERS where room was 405, and those making a beeline down the years would be officials from Andaman And Nicobar tribe. The idea sustaining Great Nicobar Island Development Project one should rethink as it can well endanger the fragile imprints hurting indigenous people, and make more join force to become rebel. Fiddle with nature leading one to presume there won't be season to season fissure? SUPRABATH TOWERS from where accessing Orion Restaurant was no hard task from dawn to dusk. SUPRABATH TOWERS from where I would have accessed Srinivasam Complex more than once in a nation where range of youth protests in the national capital are not getting due coverage in mainstream media, the news force bereft of an idea. Mainstream media which in the decade gone by was scared to do good, scared to this date to look rude. These protests are meant to initiate discourse on what pitfalls India lumbers with, and what are remedies to iron out so that youth don't trip.  Much water has flowed since I arrived in New Delhi where price googly hitting every belly. One can't afford to see the plan in motion to erase inflation go belly up as India is yet to ascertain the roadmap of getting to the first lap. The lap from where inflation won't make deafening noise to youths and the gen z that can with ease fix riddle, and has job choice. Job choice that gives freedom to move, and keeping one in the loop. India's Tryst With Discipline can get going if ruin frame that has visited the exchequer is stopped preferably by passing minute, and all govt spending on travels by powers that be for pursuits that are trivial could sense the emerging trouble.

Where One Had Erred, Where Images Were Blurred

These multiple hours have often make one wonder where one had erred, and the images that were blurred. Perhaps the intake of cold liquids followed by bathing in cold water opened floodgates for cough and cold and precautions taken these multiple hours let the cold story turn old. Normalcy has set in despite at this hour New Delhi having no inkling when it would get the New King. These multiple hours often make one wonder those taking ride along with me in Bengaluru Rajdhani were downright followers of Lord Govinda; they hailing from Mysuru (Mysuru Is A City In Karnataka Province Essentially Carrying The Tag Of Second Cleanest City Where At Random Residents Get Witty) where visitors do come from Andhra Pradesh's Eluru. The fees that one has to remit to travel to Eluru from New Delhi is roundabout Rs 17723 in a nation where some have sound understanding on Sir Creek. The ride to Delhi, the city that is destined to turn big with decisions primarily to be taken by those sporting no wig, and driving limousine thereby maintaining contacts with those who can deliver like King looking to be keen. The ride to Delhi oscillatted between hope and lessons on simplicity handed by those who sensing evil designs nope. The ride accomplished, there are invites from Ajmer where doors are ajar seeking to put in a word that such colonies won't have weather that some would dread. No plans in immediate future to visit despite trains to Ajmer coming in double digit known to those manning desk in Chilean IT consulting unit Lisit. Let the ride from South India be in sketch that down the decades one can recollect as delimitation exercise emerging from dictation surprise be for umpteen centuries take the much-needed rest.

The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru I, The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru II

The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru I

Having collected Tirumala Ladoos, I left Tirumala having taken cognisance of the fact that visits since July 1995 have been with the sole aim to get blessed by Lord Govinda, and drop in be at regular interval with no sighting of ride riddle. Lord Govinda goads one to believe that howsoever insurmountable may be the rush each devotee would get a chance to gain a fleeting glimpse with Delhi Chapter knowing fairly well who would be the coming Kings. Connecting bus from Tirupati for Bengaluru was all I desired having stayed in room 405 in SUPRABATH TOWERS for roughly 100 hours. Though hot for entire duration of stay, I had the fortune to look at Tirumala Hills elucidating what was essentially year to year thrill. 

Leaving For Bengaluru On A Thursday

Left on a Thursday with disciplined automan Mr M Bhaskar dropping me at the gate from where Karnataka buses can be accessed with ease, having come around that this ride comes with no notable fees. All through the stay took meals from Orion Restaurant one of the best in town even for those who have gained over the months Delhi pound. From platforms 24 to 27 there were buses slated to leave for Trichy, Salem, Vellore, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Arunachalam, all high beaming spots of South India where people are busy to unfurl new central idea. My bus leaves at 9.13. There is an ad of Bhim app featuring sportsperson Mr Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Ad as well of Dream Believe Achieve at MBU (Mohan Babu University) which hands over the clue. Go past RBL Bank, Madras Tiffin Centre having understood this city invariably hosts varied tender. Go past Birla OPUS paints store. Heritage milk and milk products making waves in Tirupati and beyond noted, and this in the coming months would be lauded. Go past PEPS the great sleep store. Go past Sri Mulasthana Yellamma Temple. Bus of Shiloka - A Birla School parked and few moments later there are broad roads that drop hints even when it is pitch dark. 

We Are On National Highway 140

We are on National Highway 140, soon followed by Candor School Tirupati. At 9.56 we access Heritage Parlour followed by board of Astral pipes India's number one, and this looking to be no hype. There is traffic diversion at 10 followed by first toll plaza at 10.05 in a season when India can jive. Go past Pavithra Grand, Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple Nendragunta. First Sri Lakshmi milk tanker spotted here, hope to see more coming with their set of lore. Few moments later a lone woman spotted speaking on cell while driving scooty not to be seen in regions that are UT (Union Territory). Hotel Saravana Bhavan accessed at 10.16 followed by Hotel Saptagiri. With Niva river in proximity, and from here Kanipakam Temple is roughly 17 kms something to brood in this South Indian province that is huge.  

The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru II

Quintessential happiness was what passengers desired as the Bengaluru bound bus moved on negotiating 250-odd kms giving to none jitters. Garuda Tours And Travels bus off and on used to overtakes us with passengers inside feeling blessed with no pounding they expected from sessions of crush. Quite notable at this moment was a woman in black attire driving bike with her associate pillion riding in a nation where price stress keeps on padding. Price rise and the incremental chase to douse the same has met with little success despite some storing at home roundabout tree buxus. Go past Irani Dude. Kanipakam Temple 0.5 kms from here for which one has to go left, and as one reached Bahuda river, this was followed by spotting of second and third milk tanker; getting the authentic supply nowadays most hanker. Go past Sri Mayuri Restaurant at 10.40. Soon after there is Chitra Coffee Bar, with thoughts on Kodanadu View Point (Tamil Nadu Province) where seldom people throw in the air coin. 

Idols Of Lord Ganesh Lined In A Series For Upcoming Festival

Idols of Lord Ganesh lined in a series  for upcoming festival, and this spotting visible even after 30 kms, and this is the latest. Go past Bharat Benz, Ashok Leylands plants with hoarding of Vidyavahini College and those who scored well, impromptu was the felicitation bell. Go past BMREV Industries. Go past Andhra Spice. Here toll plazas manned by a good number of women who after a long day in the Sun have lemon. Go past Sankrantipalli (Andhra Pradesh Province), go past Mother Dairy store, and this is for sure. At 10.55 Bengaluru 163 kms, and as we stop at Nandi Food Plaza there is TATA EV charging zone with calls to keep it going received as well from Rome. From here Bangarupalayam few kms away, and hope the trio in chess have awful contest and play. Fourth milk tanker spotted, and this reported to those residing in cottage. At 11.30 Kolar 83, Bengaluru 146 kms. Go past NKR TOWERS, and hope none get seduced by foreign powers.

Reach Palamaner; Special Mulbagal Dosa

Reach Palamaner at 11.37. Nearby there are a good number of Muslim institutions with good number of Muslims residing with no need for the next two decade to engage in paratrooping. At 12 go past Srinivasa Grand, and few kms away there is Special Mulbagal Dosa, and the art of preparing the same is fetched a month for over a million guest who least desire to travel to West. Reach Halekuppa (Karnataka Province) at 12.05, and as we are in Mulbagal Section there is new set of roads being laid by engineers who have at some point of time worked in a port. Here mopeds galore with contact man yet to come from Mangalore. With Mulbagal Dosa Corner spotted, and this secret is well guarded. Soon there is Usmani Taj Family Restaurant followed by Hanuman Granites with Bengaluru still 93 kms looking to be tight. At 12.32 go past Thirumala Filter Coffee, no need to eavesdrop on conversations in Assembly Lobby. Here thoughts on Repco bank in Tamil Nadu on which reportage is extensive by group Eenadu. Soon Woody's pure veg from Woodlands group accessed, and as we go past Nandini Palace we reach Kolar with some skipping coffee in terrace.

Lakes Sprout; Spotting TATA NANO Car; Thoughts On Nandini Milk 

As one goes past Amrutha Veg here lakes sprout, and this is visible for miles ahead lending to some their better and bread. Lakes would have been bountiful had constructions not taken place with maddening pace. At 1.07 go past Sipani fibres plant. At 1.48 HDFC Bhattarahalli branch accessed, with some manning the afternoon desk. At 1.55 we are in K R Puram, and here oranges galore with no need to raise uproar. Here lone TATA Nano car  spotted which were in good numbers in Kotagiri, Kodanadu View Point and Udhagamandalam with more likely to put in a script on business acronym LUM. Sweet products made from pure Nandini milk ad on bus, and this milk intake takes away the stress. Nandini milk has been creating waves at every corner and chase. At 2 reach Benniganahalli (Perhaps There Is Famous Benniganahalli Lake). Go past Gopalan Mall hoping against hope none get in a brawl. We reach Varthur road at 2.10. Few moments later go past Resurrection Church, Sri Balamuri Ganapathi Temple, hope no community is subjected to sessions of purge. Go past Ulsoor, Ulsoor lake. Reach Majestic in Bengaluru by 3.30 in a nation that would be flanked by different set of leaders at different point of time recouping losses at their prime. At 3.30 very much known about few set of leaders who abide by constitutional morality, and that would be no less than 24×7 duty.

This was a ride that would not have come at a more appropriate time than July the month when rains had not pitched their tent. This was a ride encompassing two provinces (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka) essaying the belief that flavour of either can be touched provided the roads are good, samaritan come in flood. This was a ride that talked about tall educational institutions that dotted the space with a new base. This ride constantly reminded one that unity in diversity chapter gets better illustrated in this section with a vision. This ride had revelation of sorts that items as elementary as dosa and milk are much in vogue in this region not saddled by divisions.

Visiting Lord Govinda Temple In Tirumala On July 14

Visiting Lord Govinda Temple In Tirumala On July 14

Having secured SSD (Slotted Sarva Darshan) token on July 13, all eyes were on proposed visit to Tirumala coming after two years, this very period witness to churn in layers. Tirumala visit was not on my itinerary when I left New Delhi as the rush and the release from compartments was too much for me vis-a-vis multiple visits to temple on a single day when tokens were disbursed in Tirumala hills for those who pray. This time as well the rush to secure tokens was sizeable with some having collected as early as 12.30 AM with gates to reach token site only opening after 6.30 in a nation where dissent has been disfigured by those carrying candy. Candy with a will to govern, and make the other considerable lot run. 

Gaining Token, Leaving For Tirumala Next Day

With token in my hand I had one-and-a half day at my disposal to make a case for those who could not chase token with success despite having at home tree buxus. On July 14 left at 12.45 PM by APSRTC (Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation) bus AP OZ 3 5356 for Tirumala with notable reminders on the way to not feed the wildlife, overtaking prohibited, keep ghat road clean, and drive slowly as one is amidst wildlife crossing zone which is much in play in July, when sections of India are dry. Spate of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh tourist cars (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh Are Provinces In South India) make an appearance with some inside putting in a prayer with patience. All devotees coming to repose faith in Lord Govinda, the presiding deity of Tirumala. Reach Tirumala at 1.45. Reach ATGH Circle at 2.20. Begin to walk and having criss-crossed different corridors, the line stops at 3.30 only to move at 4.26 with no firm appeal issued by grouping BRICS.  At 4.58 reach token check point only to be followed by frisking with none multitasking. Enter compartment number 10, and from 5 to 8.14 stay inside with some holding forth on political undercurrents that should not be a surprise. Those who were sent to compartments prior to 5, their gates open at 5.30 and probably before 7 they would have come out of temple as break darshan is from 7 to 7.45 with no room for rumours on bike. 

Reaching Sanctum Sanctorum (Bangaru Vakili)

When our gates open there is second layer of frisking with the young lot having the aura of invincibility to wade into pushing and shoving gallery known to have fascination for retail brand yoving. By the time I reach Sanctum Sanctorum (Bangaru Vakili) it is 9.18, and here I am overwhelmed by fleeting glimpse of Lord Govinda Lord Venkateswara and that sketch would stay for long perhaps for eon. Fill in pages next to Vayu Lord from 9.30 onwards. Huge collection of devotees savouring every moment, though getting to temple is no less than a tournament, grand and gracious is the bit spent in Bangaru Vakili, and I would take this temple tryst lapped by page conversation list. By the time I come out of temple it is 10.55, having understood this sacred place gives wings to righteous tribe.

This was a visit to Tirumala on the back of 11-day visit to Chennai, Kotagiri and Udhagamandalam, with earnest appeal coming from home quarters that I better visit the place which people of different faith chase. Tirumala has been in my daybook since July 1995, hope the visits swell with growth momentum enmeshed with a tale to tell.

Precautions To Tail While On A South India Odyssey, And Some Finding This To Be Easy

Precautions To Tail While On A South India Odyssey, And Some Finding This To Be Easy

One had lost count of number of times I got drenched in Udhagamandalam as it was lashed by rains for six neat days with some finding the need to wade into mineral water Kinley praise. The drizzle with a whistle was visible all over the place, and this not difficult to gauge. One had lost count of number of times I had white rice in Chennai, Coimbatore, Kotagiri, Udhagamandalam and Coonoor, and this looking to endure. White rice that could not set the agenda straight in a nation where dissent is somewhat getting glazed. 

Bathing Amidst Cold Water

One had lost count of bathing that I subjected myself to with cold water as hot supply off and on was something to bother. These 18 straight days in South India left one with thoughts on why this territory is home to rains with no gains. These 18 straight days I was denied milk by all cooks with looks, and abstaining from the demand to ascertain availability from roundabout hill with no submissions on when to pay the power bill. One had lost count of I leaving North Lake in Udhagamandalam minus sweater, and with temperatures dipping to a low of 17, some finding this apt to visit canteen. 

Precautions To Tail Divisions To Nail

Ever finding it suitable to visit Kotagiri, Kodanadu View Point and Udhagamandalam (All Places In Tamil Nadu Province In South India), there are precautions to be tailed and divisions to be nailed. These territories where Hindus, Christians and Muslims zero in on in equal numbers, and unity in diversity dictum is humongous. The pronouncement to share the meal and share the turf is equally appealing in a province that provides touch of healing. Let the word be out as soon as one accesses Kotagiri sweater be underneath shirt as receding temperatures one would find hard to adjust with no speculation to rest. Trilan Cottages be the place of stay in Kotagiri as it can give handsome view of the town with some checking with the name Brown. Let the word be out that Annalakshmi Drive In Veg Restaurant in Kotagiri be the one to be tried time and again, here none slammed by chapters of cane. Annalakshmi Drive In Veg Restaurant I missed in Udhagamandalam, and here it should be thrown open to public once it gets inaugurated with all guarantees on surface added. The most common belief that Udhagamandalam has fewer standard cafeteria in a nation where officialdom would like to maintain contacts with influential people in Asia. These 18 days Sun barely came out in one snatch here and one snatch there, and one better be advised to carry Vitamin D supplements as so far they have retained their dominance. These 18 days reminded one that if ever stepping out for Kotagiri and nearby areas better watch out for rains criss-crossing different lanes.

Gaining Sarva Darshan Token To Reach Tirumala

Gaining Sarva Darshan Token To Reach Tirumala

Having reached Coimbatore, dynamic pricing had kicked in for Sabari Express train ticket meant to transport some to Tirupati from Coimbatore, the ride lasting less than seven hours with some carrying reading glass. The train (20630) left on a Saturday after 4 PM (Scheduled Departure Time 3.40) stopping at Tiruppur 4.23, Erode 5.10, Salem 6.10, Morappur 7.04, Jolarpettai 7.53, Katpadi 8.56, Chittoor 9.46 and Tirupati 11.10. Mind you, the train is very much in Tamil Nadu province when it reaches Katpadi and thereafter enters Andhra where there are some women going by the name Sandra. 

Gaining Sarva Darshan Token With Reporting Time At ATGH Circle 9 PM On A Tuesday

Exiting from the train, I hired auto to reach SUPRABATH TOWERS where Mr Reddy allotted me room number 405, and it was really hot with no room for rumours to thrive. The next morning a little before 6.30 reached Bhudevi Complex to gain token to walk from Alipiri Gate To Tirumala. Time and again announcements were being made in Telugu (Telugu is primarily spoken in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Provinces) reiterating all tokens had been exhausted and pilgrims better reach Tirumala to join free darshan queue where normally it takes over and above 24 hours to gain fleeting glimpse of Lord Venkateswara Lord Govinda. By 8.30 the crowd began to disperse having understood no more tokens would be disbursed, and one better take bus. The next day I got up at 2 AM and joined Sarva Darshan Token queue at 3.25 in Srinivasam Complex. At 7.33 I gained token for next day with reporting time at ATGH Circle at 9 PM. I felt blessed as it primarily indicated that I was being called by Lord Govinda to Tirumala to have his darshan (Fleeting Glimpse) and savour every moment spent in sanctum sanctorum (Bangaru Vakili). I felt elated that I had secured the token, and next day I would be on the way to Tirumala to seek blessings of Lord Govinda whom I was visiting after two years.

The Ride from Udhagamandalam To Coimbatore

The Ride from Udhagamandalam To Coimbatore

Having stayed in Udhagamandalam for six days, it was time to leave this city having had the intensity to explore back and forth, the city abutting Kodanadu View Point where AQI of 20 it quietly holds. AQI of 20 and sitting pretty holds promise for a province  that knows how to get out of situations that are tense. Have had the honour of visiting Lord Murugan Temple and Goddess Mariamman Temple in the heart of the city with these two spots holding good number of devotees from as early as '80s.  Leave Hotel Green Valley at 12.32 with host Mr Kiran hailing from Kasaragod in Kerala as ever cheerful, this meeting of mind coming after eight years with no fears. Mr Kiran is large hearted and a man of principle, and his entire staff going by the names Mr Ishant, Mr Aditya, Mr Shakeel, Mr Najeed won't at any point of time turn rebel. Automan Mr Ramesh drops me at Udhagamandalam bus station. Board bus with Kerala number KL 15 A 2987 with all likelihood this ride may mean some may have to sport turban. Go past Hotel mountain view, go past Milky Mist store, go past Aavin Junction, go past Chennai Silks store where rumours at no point of time should get the added floor. At 1.10 Coimbatore is 83 kms, and this noted by those who report for news agency Reuters. The commute is flanked by Board of Ooty The Queen Of Hills. Thank You And Visit Again in a nation where there has been no press conference in a decade in lane. At 1.21 reach Yellanhalli, and as one went past Beijing Bites one reached Aravankadu with no tales to hide. This was followed by Coonoor where enquiries were made about Venkateswara Lodge in 2018 when in proximity were those in sweet 16. From here Madurai is 285 kms giving no jitters. 

Reminders All Along

Reminders all along: Never overtake at curves. Few moments later pass through Nandagopal bridge. At 2.12 reach Puddukkadu. From here Coimbatore 50 kms. At 2.30 go past Kollar Forest Check post. There are so many curves on the way it takes a toll on your happiness quotient irrespective of those garnering share dividend. You can't keep away from this thought that on this stretch taxi ride should be tried, and this would be a welcome ride. Reach Mettupalayam at 2.30 and stop at Dhanam Mess and leave from here at 3.03 in the face of understanding on Sir Creek. From here Salem 63, Erode 104, and reach Mettupalayam bus stand when most hamlets on rumours shut door. When Coimbatore (CBE) is shown to be 32 kms, and from here flyovers galore which though not wide is happy spot for even those commuters with budget tight. Here Thoughts on Ajmer Dargah. At 3.40 Madurai 255 kms with news not looking to be latest on climate that some detest. Few minutes later Cochin 194, Alappuzha 204, and reach Gandhipuram bus stand at 4.25 with some suggesting vehicles need to stick to lane drive. Take auto at 4.32 with Mr Silvaraj at the helm with Nanjappa road looking to be in bad shape, and Madras Bangalore road broad, and more would like to ape. Take room number 76 in Haripriya Lodge opposite station where people come on vacation.

Coimbatore Automan Mr Mohammad Amrish Disciplined

With Automan Mr Mohammad Amrish taking me to S K Decoration at 898, Raja Street, Near Five Corner Coimbatore 641001 to get pen and register with this gentleman looking to be most disciplined, and this statement of facts to be made again and again by visitors. In Udhagamandalam in Net Technologies there was one Mr Chandra Sekhar who was quite cooperative and affable, and hope all through he has visitors who maintain long distance travel. ootynetcity@gmail.com

As for next destination, I took ticket of Sabari SF Express from Coimbatore to Tirupati. Hoping to be with Lord Venkateswara Of Tirumala.

Visiting Boat House
Boat House was on my itinerary. As the ticket is priced Rs 25, they insist on online payment,and as one goes past entrance gate there are destinations as varied as Chennai, Madurai, Dhanushkodi waiting to be explored in a province that has stayed still witness to no uproar. Perhaps one could take time out to visit these places provided one is not down with body pain, cold and cough. Being in pink of health should be of prime consideration in a nation where lessons are to be taken in aviation. As one collects popcorn (9942969473), innumerable boats on lake with pedal boats on left, row boats right, and here there are characters whose credentials are upright. Reminders come back and forth to smile as you are on CCTV where one need not furnish their CV. Reminders on Selfie prohibited while on boat. Boat not allowed to be used without life jacket in a nation where PRESS Freedom comes with caveat. Here there are people from Kerala, West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh with odd or two coming from Delhi where temperatures and AQI can't keep a neat tally.  Here I meet Mr Rupak. Based in Chennai and working for pharmaceutical company hailing from Kolkata in West Bengal which should not see much of a brawl. 

Chocolate on offer in Ooty goodies store In Boat House
- roasted pista
- miky fruits and nuts
- nut milk
- roasted almonds
- white almonds
- roasted cashews
- chocolate beds
- fruit and nuts
- bitter nuts
- chocolate chips
- caramel chips
- caramilk
- emuli chocolates
- choconutties

As Madam Mary is at the counter, the filter coffee from a store nearby is good. Hunger pangs get me to take South Indian meals from Lake Side eatery where the staff is courteous, and who don't carry the narrative largely nebulous.  As one comes out there is a jeep TN 73 AN 7169 having name of Madam Shabana Azmi. While taking a walk back to North Lake Road I came across Mr Thomson of Reflections (9047137356) lodge where enquiries about room tariff could bring one in contact with City Sheriff. This visit to Boat House was believed to reignite commitment that environment issues would get due weightage in The Nilgiris which is home to adventures and people willing to cross century club as it is affable climate hub.

Taking A Bus From Udhagamandalam To Thalaikundha, Going to Kodappamund High Hill Tea, Train Ride To Coonoor

Taking A Bus From Udhagamandalam To Thalaikundha, Going To Kodappamund High Hill Tea, Train Ride To Coonoor 

As I reached Udhagamandalam on a Sunday, thoughts were all about preparations I had to undertake before I set on a South India Voyage which welcome visitors from as far distant as Hong Kong who have gained benefits of JC JoyAge.  The day I am supposed to leave for South (July One) seven days prior to that I had stopped taking milk to keep tummy in shape as one never knows from which quarter there would be trouble wave. Thousand issues criss-cross your mind while mapping out an itinerary as irresistible has been the invite from South since July 1995 when India in world theatre was quite loud. Once in Udhagamandalam, frenetic was the search for cyber cafe with the one going by the name Net City Internet run by Mr Naren functioning irrespective of rains. This time round I could not do even one story from their store, and herein Net City Technologies (Shop Number 5, 6, Kavitha Complex, Thendral Restaurant, Hobart Park Cross Road) had the legitimate roar.  Net City Technologies obliged me on occasions more than once to do stories which tried to reason out the South India queries. 

Ride To Thalaikundha

On a Monday with nothing much to do, I decided to board a bus with no stress.  As I took a bus to Thalaikundha, there were reminders on the need to keep city clean and green. Go past Govt Medical College The Nilgiris. Thoughts on snow capped Udhagamandalam if ever possible and would there be occasional sighting of polo bears, and this may come around if environment one cares. Having reached Thalaikundha and from here Masinagudi 68, Mudumalai 61 and Mysuru 152 kms. In Thalaikundha there is liquor bottle and plastic waste collection kiosk functioning dawn to dusk. Thalaikundha is known for greenery and rolling hills situated along the Nagapattinam-Coimbatore-Gundlupet Highway getting its share of visitors from Maharashtra's Mumbai. Mind you, the ride to Thalaikundha had less reservoir of support as the bus was cramped, and some visiting their camp. 

Ride From Thalaikundha To Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand

The ride from Thalaikundha to Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand was bumpy with reminders never overtake in curves, and as there is SBI Indunagar branch there are some wishing to hold out an olive branch. Go past Nest 'n' Mist Bakery. Go past Eucalyptus oil factory.  From here fuel station 3.6 kms. Some women from Muslim community in animated conversation with Hindu family in the bus knowing fully well strawberry shake can lend you the right guess. Go past The Cliff School. Go past Suji Suriya's Chocolate Factory. Go past Finger Post. Go past Snowfall Rooms and Cottages. Go past Long Wood Cottage. Reminder plastic straws would invite fine of Rs 1000 with some holding brief on Chinese manufacturer Suzhou Douson. Go past Woodside School. Go past State Bank Of India branch. Go past Holiday Home For Central Govt. Reach Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand at 4.53 with no need to tie a lone man to a tree. This ride coming on a day when I had barely spent 24 hours in the city where rush hour tourist traffic noted in May- June make some croon.   

Going to Kodappamund high hill tea 

From Udhagamandalam bus stand there are buses with no bruises to Tiruppur, Erode, Salem, Madurai, Trichy, Kotagiri, Mettupalayam, Coonoor, Coimbatore, Sathy, Gobi, Masinagudi, Mysuru, Gudalur. The bus for Kodappamund leaves at 3.40. Ad of Repco bank offering 8.25 per cent interest for senior citizen. Go past Ettines road. Go past Sri Shanthi Vijay Girls Higher Secondary School, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank. Ujjivan Bank began operations in 2017. As of date, it has 777 branches.  At 3.55 there are directions to Kotagiri, Doddabetta. Once I get down at Kodappamund I have to trudge to reach High Hill Tea in Doddabetta Road.

With contact numbers 9843931200 9942723400, this store I have visited in the past offering

Meet Mr John. Retired Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) on Madras-Coimbatore, Madras-Udhagamandalam section. He is drawing a pension of Rs 42660 from month to month. I was in the city in the first and second week of July and rains have been there for the past six days and before that there were none. Meet Mohammad Ibrahim working in UAE. From Mangalore he came to Coonoor, from Coonoor to Wayanad, and from Wayanad to Udhagamandalam. Knows Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi. There were network issues some faced whole booking unreserved train ticket. No special quota. Only single queue. As majority face career blues. When my turn came to take ticket, I insisted on having a window seat as with that opening one can greet. 

Train To Coonoor Leaves

The train for Coonoor leaves at 12.18 PM. First tunnel 12.23. Here Green Colour Home may hold future lessons. Second tunnel at 12.28. At 12.30 Lovedale comes.Thoughts on Lord Murugan, GODDESS Mariamman temples in Udhagamandalam. Third tunnel after 12.37. Thoughts on how Delhi traffic would be after 15 years from now when contacts would be rare with Kalimpong. Ketti comes at 12.43. Expansive green cover after 12.46. Thoughts on Karnataka Express, Bengaluru Rajdhani trains from Delhi to Bengaluru carrying passengers even from Churu. Train comes to a screeching halt at 12.55. At 1 comes Aravankadu. Thoughts on Mangalore and fruits from there which on occasions may turn out to be rare. At 1.26 Wellington. At 1.33 reach Coonoor. ATM of Ujjivan bank in functional mode vis-a-vis South Indian Bank, Indian Bank which have shut doors. Take meals from Hotel Sri Lakshmi Pure Veg in DVD complex TDK Pillai road Coonoor 9443017237 / 0423 2238889. A word of praise for gastronomic delight with prospects of this eating joint looking to be bright. 

Return Ride From Coonoor To Udhagamandalam

Meet Mr Murthy from Coonoor who knew the city inside out and the season when inflation is the reigning bout. Take bus from Iyengar Bakery at 3 PM. Welcome to Wellington Cantonment Board. Go past Tea Board India Coonoor. Go past Boy's Company which at random sees visits of the rank attorney. Go past Ave Maria CHURCH. Reach Aravankadu at 3.10. Few moments later Sharon Prayer House. Few moments later Green Hill Guest House, Nilgiris Matriculation School where students invariably drool. Go past Yellanalli. Milky Mist Van passes by. Board of Go Green. Throughout Retain Sheen. Greenery Holiday Inn (Rs 999) breakfast included notably recorded in a city where some firms have to subject themselves to audit. From here Mysuru 128 kms. Few minutes later Ettines road. And finally, we are in Udhagamandalam where if ever snow peaks there would be beating of drum. These visits to Thalaikundha, Kodappamund High Hill Tea and Coonoor were on separate days amidst luncheon meet with guys which kept up the pace. 

Temperatures And AQI Keeping It In Steady Trait 

With temperatures in Udhagamandalam between 19 and 23 degrees celsius and AQI between 20 and 48, it illustrates this region has strong traits. Those owning tea gardens and those wishing to own the same may be in for a good game. Let us raise a outlook that for seasons together Udhagai (Udhagamandalam) would have a weather that won't keep one in a spot of bother. Let us hail the sentiments that guide Udhagai which for centuries to come would fly. Let the word come out that Udhagai and Kotagiri undercurrents other regions ape irrespective of their configuration and shape.

Ride From Kotagiri To Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu Province

Ride From Kotagiri To Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu Province

Mr Devraj is the taximan who gets me a ride. Leave Kotagiri at 2.23 PM as the bus is cramped with no standing space either even if some are bent to ride a tiger. As taxi moves on, Iyengar's Bakery is not hard to spot. Gasoline refill at Indian Oil pump done with ease with none at this hour likely to make calls to Greece. From here Gudalur 75, Udhagamandalam 25 kms. Go past Pandian Park dropping hints on directions to Horasholai. With Orasolai accessed there are directions to Anna Nagar, Kamraj Nagar and Udhagamandalam. Go past West Brooke with no urgency to look for a new cook. Thoughts on if Delhi could have been amidst hills, and that would have given this theatre new wheels. Thoughts as well on if one could take a taxi from Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh Province) to Delhi as trains are yet to ascertain the new tally.  Lush green surroundings guide you, and here there would be none with career blues. From here for Coonoor turn left and for Udhagamandalam head straight. At 2.41 it begins to rain. There are twists and turns as we keep on the road with no intentional recce by leopard. Story could well be on Coimbatore and the Camaraderie and those making grand entry.  At 2.53 reach Peror.  As one goes past S N Valley Tea Factory, thoughts on Pamban bridge before Rameswaram in this very province where most are likely to complete new innings.

As noting is made of Tea Park 100 mts from here, Aavin parlour can be spotted here and there. Plastic And Litter Free Nilgiris Welcome You one can spot with High Hill Tea Shop which I visited some years ago with some familiar with Australian Sport Trugo. Ooty Cauvery Silk And Handicraft Emporium accessed with fewer under stress. Go past Kodappamund. Go past Kota's Emporium. Go past ST. Anthony's Shrine. Go past NDCC Bank (Charring Cross Udhagamandalam). Reach North Lake Road Udhagamandalam at 3.25, and gain access to Hotel Green Valley which welcomes visitors who have participated at different point of time in different set of rally. Mind you, the jeep MDN 8159 which I spotted in Kotagiri was one in million of that race bent to keep up the chase.
