Ride From Coimbatore To Kotagiri; Ride To Kodanadu View Poiint Keeping A Neat Tally

Ride From Coimbatore To Kotagiri; Ride To Kodanadu View Point Keeping A Neat Tally

As I try to make a post from Net City in Hobart Park Cross Road in Udhagamandalam (Tamil Nadu Province), the stay for the past five days have been fun coming ton by ton. It would be prudent to look back on the ride to Kotagiri from Coimbatore where people welcome visitors with welcome battery. As I took a room in Harri Priya Hotel in 95 Geetha Hall opposite Coimbatore railway station, I was still not sure how I would access Kotagiri and Udhagamandalam visting after eight years hoping to swing with more cheers. On a Saturday take bananas from Ranis Hotel hoping to meet those elements who keep count of digital transaction battle. Post bananas leave Harri Priya with Mr Kuppaswamy arranging an auto with some holding extempore brief on protocol Kyoto. The auto goes past Aroma Bakery, Kavitha Bakery, and here mopeds galore with enough sighting of eateries. Having reached Ooty bus stand there are spate of buses meant to fetch ride to Ooty, and I interested in Kotagiri bus with no stress. Taximan Mr Guruswamy seeks to know about Kotagiri ride, and I revert back stressing the bus ride would be comfortable sighting no double. In bus stand there is circuit bus ad touching places as varied as Central bus stand, Karnataka Garden, Boat House, Botanical Garden, Doddabetta Junction, benchmark tea museum and Rose Garden. 

Leaving From Udhagamandalam Bus Stand In Coimbatore

Leave Ooty (Udhagamandalam) bus stand at 10.30. The bus goes past Indian Overseas Bank, and from here Mettupalayam 31 kms, and this ride expected to give no jitters. Ad of villas, plots across Coimbatore featuring sportsperson Mr Mahendra Singh Dhoni sighted with ease, and enquiries to this effect expected to come from Greece. Hoarding of United College of Arts and Commerce, United Public School and United College of Physiotherapy coming before hoarding of Aksharam International School where discipline is the rule. At 11.10 Kotagiri is 45 kms with ad of Ultratech Cement which is in athletic tent. Christ The King Engineering College perhaps very much in the town with some willing to take the crown. Here I spot lone woman driving moped aware of traffic rules carrying essential tools.  At 11.26 reach Mettupalayam bus stand, leave few moments later with SSVM The Day And Residential School noting registered, and here there be no red alert. At 11.40 Kotagiri 32 kms, and from here noting of Animal Crossing Zone with an understanding one has to go carefully and abstain from poll rally.

We Are On State Highway 15 Hoping To Meet In Multiple Teen

Go past Forest College And Research Institute. As Nilgiri biosphere reserve welcomes one, the ascent begins at 11.50 on State Highway 15, and this stretch has capacity to carry unimaginable load of those who are teen. Here thoughts on Tirumala and Maharashtra with some standing by those who go by the name Cleopatra.  Nalli Hair Pin Bend at 12 PM followed by Kari Hair Pin Bend, Pari Hair Pin Bend. No soon we are amidst Tribal Products Sale Centre, and from here Kotagiri 16 kms with some trying to figure out ancient Greek City Datus.  At 12.17 Mamaram followed by Mulloor and Kottakombai where none would like rumours to fly.  At 12.52 reach Kotagiri where silence is by no means errie.  Take a room in Ramesh Vihar where one has trouble to get the door lock straight, hope in Trilan Cottages in future one won't have to wait. From nearby bus stand Coonoor 23, Dodabetta 23, Beragani 8 kms, and here occasionally one gets rebuked by tutors for not taking the lessons that are latest. 

Ride To Kodanadu View Point; Here AQI 20 And Keeping None In Bind

Board Kodanadu View Point bus at 5.33 (PM). Go past Donnington Road, go past Hillcrest not in jest. Go past Bathma tea, Bank Of India Elada branch with some having the weather hunch. Admission open to Lakshmi Narayanan Visalakshi College of Arts and Science In Chettipalayam, Coimbatore one comes across fully aware who is the boss. Here houses and hopes rest on laurels they have received over the years with no fears. Go past Kodanad Estate. Reach Kodanadu View Point at 6.30 with no desire to meet woman going by the name Ketty. Mind you, the earlier visit was in 2011 when most sported honesty turban. I put in a prayer I keep visiting Kodanadu View Point on and on even if some have to host visitors from West Bengal's Kalimpong. There is scenic pleasure on sighting Nilgiris Hills. Air is breathtaking clean, and would remain so for centuries together with none having airs ladder. River you spot is in Coimbatore which has its set of lore. For miles together one can get a clear view till Seven when India hopes to wecome guests largely German.  AQI here between 20 and 30 and temperature 18 Degress Celsius vis-a-vis Delhi where AQI peaks to 400 during winters and by no means sparing  summers. Summers with temperature 40 with some ever ready to usher in change in weather with slim chance of getting haughty. Meet guys from Setty Mech SME (Small And Medium Enterprises) In Mysuru, seeking to know the month I would be in the second cleanest city of India where probably I could acquire sustaining idea. Leave Kodanadu View Point at 7.25 with well maintained roads, well maintained tea gardens, and here KVP is heaven. 

Confessions On Board About The Need To Let Delhi Have The Lap Of Cheer 

As I took Chennai Rajdhani from Delhi, the deliberation were all about political undercurrents the country was faced with, and those earmarked to show their writ. On SIR (Special Intensive Revision) where million and million voters got deleted from voter list, most argued this was meant to please the ESTABLISHMENT which has pitched its tent. The ruling on SIR was flawed and here some argued courts had erred raising and leaving room for omissions to get to the stage of glut. How can voters numbering 10 million and beyond in just one State the poll panel can exclude them, and here the public is in for a long game. Sensing the ruling was erroneous, was New Delhi trying to replicate the trace that had been left by Nepal and Bangladesh heft which primarily aimed to clear the political debt?

ESTABLISHMENT Guys Making Notings Thrice

To curry flavour with those in political gallery who seem to denote they are in a Ship Of Vallery, the evolution of the past decade has been minus intuition chivalry. Some on board wished some in India's administration smacked less of arrogance, and try to fill in more layers of patience. From the huge bungalows of Delhi where the ESTABLISHMENT guys reside, it would be more apt to have a steady diet with multilayered flats believed to raise noteworthy track that is upright. You provide security entailing millions in outgo with net result those among masses they can't swear to have even one who could be their sincere bro. For Delhi to have the lap of cheer, noteworthy suggestions be made on measured traffic warchest, with those in the ESTABLISHMENT stepping out once a week, and those driving the vehicle having passed the drinking test. For Delhi to have the lap of cheer, let the inaugural session be the ESTABLISHMENT understand the pain the common man is going through, and this has been decade true. For a decade different institutions have lost the Flag of Liberty, and wishing to please those who have innings minus creativity. If you want to make amends, you better give rulings that are in dire opposite to what ESTABLISHMENT savour as all through the year you can't give the platform of flavour.

Ride From Chennai To Coimbatore The Previous Friday

Ride From Chennai To Coimbatore The Previous Friday

Having spotted board of CSI College Of Engineering Ketti, the task before me has been to post stories on South India voyage which having completed six days with grace. It would be prudent to look at Chennai stay, and the ride from there with no fear. Having reached Chennai On A Thursday, Mr Parthasarthy dropped me at Tourist Home in Egmore which declined my request to spare a room perhaps having visitors from Kashmir who could croon. Lakshmi Mohan Guest House came to my rescue with the host Mr John dropping the clue. The room allotted, and in this city for the duration of stay no one looking to be hot headed. The next morning I made a dash to Chennai Central Railway Reservation Centre with counter number 16 guy issuing a ticket to Coimbatore for train number 22207, and here they were in no two minds on accepting cash something visible in New Delhi, and a broadcast on same known to those having power belly. 

Visiting Sacred Heart Shrine, Visiting Egmore Cafe, Sangeetha Eatery And They In Their Prime

After collecting ticket I visited Sacred Heart Shrine abutting Kennet Lane amidst worship session bringing new equation. Visit to Egmore Cafe got me the yummy strawberry milk shake, and the veg sandwich was icing on the cake.The staff young and courteous and looking all blessed. Mind you, this outlet is opposite Hotel Ceylon with no desire to sight the clone. Visit to Mulberry store in Kennet Lane brought me in touch with Mr Madhuvahan from Madurai seeking to know places I have visited in his home town, the place that at one point of time holding the bets on who would take the crown. In Kennet Lane as well Saravana restaurant was up for renovation, and I settling for Sangeetha veg dining place in Shivalaya building with no need to see who were yielding. Freshly prepared meals soft on stomach unlike the September 2025 outing when meals had massive burst of spice, leaving one with the solitary option to open lines of communication with Australia's Dunach thrice. 

Peramur, Tirumullaryul, Tiruvallur Accessed, And Those Reporting To Train Desk

Automan Mr Prasad drops me at Chennai Central station and 22207 leaves at 4.06 leaving none with gigs. Basin bridge comes at 4.14 and few moments later a woman guard can be seen holding green flag, and by no means on exchequer a drag. Vyasarpadi Jiva at 4.16 with Everwin Group of Schools having inmates who are outstanding teen. Peramur 4.17 with train in full flow after 4.18.  Tirumullaryul comes at 4.26 , Annanur 4.26,  Avadi 4.29,  Hindu College 4.31, Pattabiram as well at 4.31 with no pressing need to know who would come out of sleeping den. At 4.31 Nemilichery accessed with Tirunninvarur coming at 4.33 and Vepampattu at 4.39, and surroundings looking to be fine. Rajammal Vidyalaya followed by Sevappet Road spotted at 4.41, and at 4.43 Putlur, 4.44 Tiruvallur where people go on a tour. Essential to load this fact that there are spate of local trains back and forth to Tiruvallur from Chennai Central with television series getting more eyeballs going by the name Vanthu whose first name is Thendral. At 4.45 Egattur with three tracks till now adding to the rule. Kadammattur spotted, and from here there is a bridge over dry river making fewer shiver. At  4.50 Mannavur, 4.52 Tiruvalangadu. And the convoy comes to a screeching halt at 5.07, and the train is in no short of confidence despite after 5 sighting no forest that is dense.  

Mosur, Arakkonam Accessed; Chennai To Coimbatore Passage Should Remain Blessed 

At 5.08 Mosur, 5.32 Arakkonam, 5.33, and here some old Tamil women outside in animated conversation and watching movement of this train with no desire to gain fame. Noting be made that prior to 5.30 lakes sprout, and they maintaining momentum be no seasonal bout. At 5.40 First Underpass spotted. Some young students of class 3 or 4 waving at us from a level crossing, and perhaps they would be aware of benefits of nosing. At 5.42 Chitteri with Second Underpass spotted at 5.48 with some on board wishing to place an order from an eatery. Thoughts here on Chennai to Coimbatore passage, and the need for high speed rail network doling out passengers hour by hour perks.When that would come up not known in a nation that during difficult moments stands lone. Patch of barren land subsumed by patch of green shade is all we can see with no urgency to establish contacts with Mr Lee. At 5.53 Sholinghur accessed, 5.57 Thalangai. At 6 Lord Hanuman STATUE comes to one's notice with Third Underpass refraining from mentioning those who swear by lotus. 

Mukundarapuram, Latteri Accessed; Reaching Coimbatore With No Stress

At 6. 08 Mukundarapuram, 6.12 Tiruvalam, 6.14 Jeymalli International School (CBSE) where students irrespective of weather remain cool. At 6.16 Sevur,  6.18 Pearl Research Park with a halt at 6.19 in Katpadi the talk. At 6.29 Latteri. Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Underpasses spotted between 6.15 and 6.32, and this noted by train crew. After Latteri there are series of houses flanked by green cover with some putting faith in brand Denver. This followed by Seventh, Eight, Ninth Underpasses leaving enough commuting choices. Expansive green cover after 6.38 with Valathoor coming at 6.47 followed by Melpatti with some sporting turban. Salem at 8.48, Erode 9.40 and finally Coimbatore at 11.12 with those deboarding being greeted with ringing of bell.  

Few moments later take a room in Hari Priya lodge with Mr Kadreshan, Mr Marrimuttu at the helm with some disposed to release contact number 04222300580, and calls to be made from room number 66 with no desire to revisit mandate of BRICS. Noting be made that in Chennai it was room 408, and in Kotagiri for 105 one had to wait.

Taking A Train To Chennai In Tamil Nadu Province In South India With No Thoughts On Sandia

Taking A Train To Chennai In Tamil Nadu Province In South India With No Thoughts On Sandia

Having tried time and again to secure a lower berth, and this looking beyond one, I left Safdarjung Enclave home in New Delhi at 1.55 PM on a Wednesday to gain access to South India with some thoughts on PHINDIA. With headquarters in Delhi, PHINDIA motivates teachers to teach and students to learn in surroundings that are witness to irresistible churn. Back to back traffic on Delhi road with thoughts on Thiruvanthapuram (Kerala Province In South India) and expected trains from there to Kalka (Haryana Province In North India) coming in troika. Primarily meant for those likely to visit Shimla (Himachal Pradesh Province), and missing here associates going by the name Leela. Take Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Setu abutting huge market INA, and all of 11 minutes on this road with this stretch feted by some essentially coming from Tamil Nadu's Erode. Back to back traffic on Lala Lajpat Rai Marg  considering none get waylaid by loan shark

Reaching Hazrat Nizamuddin Station In New Delhi

Lal Masjid Madrasa accessed at 2.07 and Lodi Road 2.10 with some carrying Currency Yen. Yen can get you all goodies in life even in a distant locale like Delhi where rumours at random thrive. Passing through Sabz Burz at 2.11 with notable mention of no access to railway station from Nizamuddin East as some want to retain the charm of holding feast. Reach Hazrat Nizamuddin station at 2.20 with some in Gondwana Express train hailing from minority, and by no means looking haughty. Primarily Gondwana Express, Chennai Rajdhani and Andaman Express parked in Platforms 6, 5, 4 with ample hints coming on those taking a tour. It was Mr Ajay who piloted the auto to station and porter Mr Akram Khan who put the luggage on board with Chennai Rajdhani leaving after 3.30 and some disinterested to watch proceedings on LED. With stations as deep as Okhla, Tuglakabad, Faridabad, Asaoti, Palwal, Mathura touched, I could least keep a tab on them as I was missing window seat fun. Pleading to TTE for getting me the lower berth fell on deaf ears and till 8 (PM) there was nothing to cheer. 

Gentleman From Tiruchchirapali Chips In

There was one gentleman from Tiruchchirapali (Trichy In Tamil Nadu) kind enough to spare lower berth, and he taking side upper that came with no perks. Agra (Uttar Pradesh Province) came at 5.40 followed by Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh Province) 6.55, Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh Province) 8.15, Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh Province) 11.22, and having entered the Hindi Heartland the postings on same looked to be true. Postings that Hindi Space could least deliver jobs, and it was South (South India) not necessarily tied in knots. By the time Nagpur (Maharashtra Province) came at 5.10 (AM) rains had touched this section in grand ton. Chandrapur (Maharashtra) at 7.40 and Balharshah (Maharashtra) at 8 with some Tamil Women deboarding with this Maharashtra belt pitching in with happiness courting. Having rained in these regions there is no prime need to get them renamed. After Nagpur there was occasional sighting of Ultratech Cement (India's Number One) ad, and this known to Pitt whose first name is Brad. Sirpur Kagaznagar came at 9.10 and we were broadly in Telangana Province In South India where people by and large unaware of Gujarat folk dance dandia. By the time expansive green corridor after 9.30 seen, there were thoughts on Nathdwara (Pilgrimage Point In Rajasthan Province In West India) with those hosting visitors going by the second name Deora. Warangal (Telangana; South Central Railway) at 11.40 with low rise structures making a splash and one hopes here e-rickshaws would make inroads and stay put despite spate of vehicles doing driving rash. Rash driving one should not dabble with despite malfunctioning in power grid. 

The Warangal Whisper

Has Warangal been lucky to have thick infusion of SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) no one knows as this gallery could well have gentlemen from West Bengal Province going by the name Mr Bose. Go past Telangana Rythu Bhawan, Vignan High School where discipline is the rule. Mind you, right after Balharshah there were scores of MH Carriers trucks perhaps destined to carry load after getting the requisite bucks. At 12 Nekonda, 12.22 Mahabubabad and Khammam at 1.05 (PM) with these places in Telangana yet to spell out Brazilian life and those working for GIFE. GIFE is primarily association of Brazilian social investors known to carry the good work of ancestors. Kondapalli at 2 and tall hills prior to Vijayawada looking to be true. Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh Province) the convoy reached at 2.32 with nothing to rue. For evening snacks and dinner the train pantry took the food delivery from here, and this journey so far had been subjected to wear and tear. The previous day snack was a bit stale and dinner looking average, and Thursday meals to be hailed as it was minus beverage. Announcement on Visakhapatnam Guntur train having arrived with some trains carrying load of Indian Tribe. At 6 Penna river, 6.09 Nellore, 6.20 Kommarapudi, 6.33 Gudur, and all these places in Andhra pool. After 8.30 what to gain was Chennai Central, and this was roughly 29 hour riddle.  

Ride High On Hopes With Some Yet To Figure Out SIR Ropes

This was a ride high on hopes with some yet to figure out SIR (Special Intensive Revision) ropes. Some maintained SIR was dire opposite to the freedom to vote, and with over 10 million struck off from electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu, over 7 million in Provinces of Bengal and same in Bihar, this revision would face resentment in due course of time evoking fine. How could documents like AADHAR and passport be no proof of citizenship looked baffling and mystifying in a nation that seeks to replete success of CHINA GIANT. CHINA GIANT has wonders on table, and in India tenders be clean with none having the audacity to chip in with exposed cables. Exposed cables can get the classified conversation in public domain involving those going by the name Mr Raman.

It was Mr Parthasarthy who dropped me in Chennai Egmore (Chennai City) and I settling for Lakshmi Mohan Lodge on Kennet Lane which has Maha Bodhi Society as well as MMA Masjid and quite close is Sacred Heart Shrine which post visit makes the individual in acts and speech kind. In Kennet Lane Mr John and Mr Purushottam of Lakshmi Lodge were wonderful and hope they drool.

Smart Lodges In South Karnataka With No Thoughts On Filipino Singer Rica

Smart Lodges In South Karnataka With No Thoughts On Filipino Singer Rica

As reports appear in a section of PRESS which is under undeniable stress, smart lodges have taken the lead in the State of Karnataka (Karnataka Is A Province In South India) where temperatures are little to whisper about vis-a-vis Delhi where they maintain their clout. Temperatures for the past 20 days have shown no intent to recede with hours spent on bed during night that unfailingly tease. Unforgettable moments during night where high temperatures with high humidity one comes across with reactions that at random pause. Against this hotness of Delhi, Bengaluru chips in with moderate heat intensity with some maintaining the famed round belly and never losing an opportunity to paint the city with a dash of creativity. Reports on South Karnataka are few and far, most disposed to the idea that affordable lodges have come up minus pub. South Karnataka primarily cruising with the belief that Coorg and Chikmagalur are home to some indefatigable experiences with loads of fun cases. 

Taking A Train Which Should Stick To Its Lane; Driest June In 146 Years 

For those residing in the North (North India), the twist and turn of accessing Karnataka would be less bothersome if a train ride is tried irrespective of those aligned to fly the kite with a new bride. The ride would be peppered with thoughts on provinces the convoy would touch with no pressing need to splurge. The provinces to share and spell could very much be those in the Hindi Heartland to those in Middle Section ever ready to showcase the tribe who do morning errands. Once having reached Bengaluru one could well take a public transport to Coorg and Chikmagalur, and better be in the company of a host who abominates going on a tour. Tour even when season is low and stock markets refuse to glow. These two places in South Karnataka would let one to explore to the last mile as the one who is slated to take the crown is amidst those who report to lands that are invariably fertile. These two spots could bring one face to face with those who are weather boss as June the month deemed to be the driest in 146 years with rain battle looking to be fierce. Rain battle one could not have envisaged as early as April, and as curtains come down on June there would be more than handful with a wish rains have the appetite to croon. Driest in 146 years, and this ably noted in quarters of those who on spotting first raindrop raise cheers.

Visiting Chanakyapuri In New Delhi

Visiting Chanakyapuri In New Delhi

As one keeps a tab on temperatures across India, Delhi reported 36 degrees celsius, Chennai 36, Jaipur 36, Shimla and Mussoorie 26 with sections of Coonoor and Udhagamandalam in Tamil Nadu Province at 19 a piece, and this tally known to followers of Keynes. Followers of Keynes find it hard to figure out in India the uptick in real wages as some argue it has been doctored by those who are yet to step out of cages, and doing so in phases. Stepping out was what I accomplished on a Sunday, having left Safdarjung Enclave home a little before 5 (PM) unmindful of those who let rumours thrive. With subway in Nauroji Nagar functioning hours duly noted, it was time to go past bus stand which invariably send reminders on series of buses that have not been canned, and would be for a fair time on road ramp. It were 479 (Badarpur Border), 544 ( R K Puram Sector 1), 610 ( Wazirpur Depot), 615 (Minto Road), CBD 2 (-)  (New Delhi Railway Station Gate Number 2) with some posting authentic works on Karnataka village Holalu  (Karnataka Is A Province In South India). Mind you, all these places are in the heart of Delhi where temperatures peak and pinch, and some can speak barely. 

Ring Road Market Accessed; Unsparing Auto Fare For Those Who Are Not Guests

Ring Road Market accessed followed by Africa Avenue which hosts sizeable number of guests, this was an outing on a day where some posted thoughts on cricket the sport that comes with rain not much to gain against soccer that lends fame. Perhaps India should keep up the good work on Chess which decades down the line more and more Indians would say YES. Having been in Africa Avenue for a while it was dug up at some section perhaps reminding some bottlenecks had to be erased to put in place smooth water line chase. By the time the road underneath railway bridge was spotted one could see fair number of passengers haggle over auto fare that doesn't spare. As there are no standard charts in reckoning conveying the particular kms docked and particular tariff raised in a city where some turn their gaze to splendid temperature turning a new page. Traffic on city road this day was remarkably low for those who do daredevilry and glow. From Yashwant Place one had to turn left to head towards Akbar Bhawan and take comfort in the fact that Bihar Niwas in Chanakyapuri (Bihar State Guest House; Bihar Is A Province In East India) was all reachable with no sighting of double. By the time I entered Biharika the store inside guest house, air conditioner was in full blast with no break and Bihar taxpayer chipping in for this AC cake. Prudent usage of ACs few have learnt the skills, running ceaselessly get them the thrills.

As Temperatures Vault

As Temperatures Vault

As temperatures vault across India, with fewer conscious enough to remain alert this sustained heat makes more and more blurt. Where they had erred and purred their displeasure not known in a nation where peaking temperatures can put more and more in hazard zone. Hazard zone could well be India-Bangladesh border where those in thousands are stranded facing the summer heat in the open with none in a capacity to carry Swiss Rappen. Swiss Rappen they would not have heard of in distant days as their life some entitled to let it be classed as haze with no need to be wrapped in baize. Thoughts travel back and forth about these guys with no guise facing heat for the sheer fact they don't have papers, and not disposed to take them from border grabbers. Border grabbers rained blows and took their sheets of association making them vulnerable with no delineating vision. The readiness to gel with the commoner looked wonderful prior to polls, post polls they are in for a long haul with day to day reminder of their vague host and role.

Modern Day Queens And Kings 

Camaraderie they can't raise with fellow beings as suspect and suspect surroundings chase them as life is an odyssey on rent in a shaky tent. With each passing day enthusiasm ebbs, and with no axe to grind they are dismissed as miniature and not giants. Hazard zone from where there is no turning back, and against this oppressive heat their day to day belongings get hacked. Yet they strive to stay on course as they are the ones with least greenhouse gas footprints, and they carry the tag of Modern Day Queens And Kings. Modern Day Queens And Kings have to be feted for their neutral stand on who is poaching on green land. Across aisle ACs tempting tinderbox that define the landscape of cities and towns which they engage with no break with massive billing pound. If you turn the gaze on those with machines and phones, they are no less than their forgettable clones, and they wished for once they had AC lawns. One may have the comfort of air conditioners with unlimited edition to play and not realising this earlier than later turning them grey. From AC machines to flights  that transport dozens across sand dunes, the greenhouse gas reading they put on board can be nerve-racking illustrating the load. ACs won't get you the fun, multiple vehicle rides with sole occupant inside would bring ruptures to as unheard of territory as EVMs  touted till the last night as gems. From water that you chased to filter that you raised, all would be in a spot of bother if heat is set to rise with no surprise. Surreptitious claims are being made that plans are afoot to chase away heat blues, they are very much here to leave you with no clues. As temperatures keep the date, visuals may come of maelstrom of emotions that nudged one to act early to check the heat in crate.

When Tatkal Train Ticket Could Not Come Through Even After Intake Of Coffee Bru

When Tatkal Train Ticket Could Not Come Through Even After Intake Of Coffee Bru

Having decided I would be heading to South India, I checked seat availability in different set of trains, and they dropping little hints. Travelling on occasions are no less than ordeal of sorts, and this better realised when temperatures peak and peak with substantial numbers able to figure out this weather trick. Travelling that too on sustained weak ticket (Upper Berth Ticket) can be nightmarish even for those residing on terrace. Terrace guys do have the comfort to know when there would be downpour with few putting forth monsoon would be minus roar. Terrace guys do know the art of fixing the lacunae encircling tatkal train ticket with some whispering success after taking bath from a bucket. For over 15 days I tried to figure out tatkal train ticket availability online with each passing day suggesting that it was devoid of shine. What all one could avail was the message of high traffic, and by the time windows opened there were  intimidating sessions looking less therapeutic. 

Tuesday Was The Day Of Reckoning 

Tuesday was the day of reckoning as I decided to access railway reservation centre where passengers invariably carry calendar. Having visited this spot in the month of February, this visit this month was on a different trajectory. Humongous was the collection of people, equally alarming was the appearance of a monsoon rebel. Against this scenario I bided time hoping against hope that I won't be asked to pay the fine. With number 15 marked against my name I was hoping for a miracle equally true for those who had faced recent poll debacle. Poll debacle for the sheer fact that polls in some sections were rigged, and this made possible by those sporting wig. By the time it turned 9.30 (AM) came the message that cash payment had been done away with, and UPI (Unified Payments Interface) payment and debit/credit cards were being accepted even from those who resided in colonies gated. This was horror of sorts, more horror in store when window booking opened for sure. Those wishing to make UPI Payments were facing network issues (no internet), and those making card payments having little clues. By the time my turn came all seats in South India bound train taken perhaps suggesting more finding it ripe to visit Territory Deccan. And the woman personnel at the counter finding me in dilemma of sorts, and I by no means interested in taking a ride in a yacht. I came home wondering where I had erred as I had reached the reservation centre around 7.20 with I having been briefed by railway HOD  (Head Of Department). I wondered would I be successful to take a commute to South (India) with puzzle on ascertaining seat availability not looking to be a bout. Where was the rationale to do away with cash transactions as in parts of country  some handed the responsibility to dig to unearth gold on occasions lose directions. After 11.30 I again made a round of reservation centre having discovered there were 50 seats vacant for train destined to leave on July 1, and here the counter man could not gel with the idea that lower berth would be spared as side upper berth he cared. With side upper berth allotted I am in a fix, and this reservation centre foray shrieks.

Not Able To Fix This Lacunae

Railways to date have not been able to fix the tatkal ticket inadequacies, and shortcomings on this front likely to stay plump. Where is the need to do away with cash transactions as India is a nation where majority cannot endear themselves to those with right connections. Connections to gain a reprieve from mind boggling inflation to those delineated to take regime's dictation. This dictation scolds one to fall in line else depository would  initiate action. Here a large number go to bed unfed and yet the regime wants digital route edge. Digital edge won't come for the next 20 decades what to talk of 10 trillion ticket. Ten trillion ticket dream is being promised to all forgetting this nation's sovereign debt is $ 2.58 trillion toss, and by no means giving the brief who is the boss. As I make umpteen attempts to figure out any train with available seats to leave before July 1, the predicament shuttle that some are in illustrate none can have fun.

Thoughts On The Way To Middle Section Of Delhi

Thoughts On The Way To Middle Section Of Delhi

Having reached Middle Section Of Delhi on a Thursday, the ride saw me immersed in thoughts on Mangla Lakshadweep Express train I boarded in 2011 to reach Manmad in Maharashtra where inroads would be made by designs Daidra. It was a year when Maharashtra looked simple having inmates sporting dimple. It was a year when this province could take comfort in the fact that investments touching its base would quadruple with no sighting of a rebel. Rebel for the very fact that home investors could sign the deal here in Maharashtra with no pressing urgency to go to Distant Davos to meet entities going by the name Bose and pose. These voyages to Distant Davos or destinations having wash wash ton echo, and better be we squared up to each other rather genuflecting to a leader with a rider who is known to dither. 

Seafarers Not Hit By Missile; Taking Strides Agile

It was a year (2011) when foreign visits were shrinking each passing month with no Indian seafarers hit by wash wash ton missile, and yet having the audacity to hold one to one meeting with the man known to fire revulsion and bile. Deep-seated resentment that nation at large at present has against wash wash ton is easy to figure out keeping none in doubt. If the nation can't stand up for their soldiers and seafarers then who to expect to take up their cause with no pause. It is high time high-octane policy of tilting towards one power be nipped as future transgressions would be hard to rip. It is time to introspect, and not time and again in foreign shores trip. Nothing of that seen in 2011 or 2018 when a maze of stumble here and a maze of tremble there were by and large classed rare.

Pack Of Milk To No Pack Of Thrill

Two thousand and eleven a year when one pack of milk across board could be availed for Rs 28 as against Rs 62 when cartons after cartons don't release clue. Milk that too at this stupendous rate seems to gel little with the middle class which has receding choices and deemed fit by administrators to not make noises. Middle class is in the crosshairs for long and strikingly seen in unheard of places like Kalimpong. With no thrill on hand, middle class can't sum up sentiments despite floating with South African Rand. When I boarded this train duly disposed to the idea that it would consume over 16 hours to complete the commute in a nation where TTEs appear to be in brute majority, and some having the desire to flaunt ID. This train ride is over 15 years old and looking back to places with chiselled details like Barrackpore they seem to be no less than gold. Let freedom of expression take wings, and from Barrackpore to Behrampur unveil the new set of kings.

Having Accessed Middle Section Of Delhi Again In A City Whose Thoroughfare Is Busy Anticipating No Rain

Having Accessed Middle Section Of Delhi Again In A City Whose Thoroughfare Is Busy Anticipating No Rain

Having anticipated there won't be any trouble, I stepped to head towards Middle Section Of Delhi again in a city that visibly has fewer with taints. This city could well be the bedrock of spirituality if in the long run it could have measured traffic guarantee. With Mr Ram Hazoor Singh of Indian Oil Petrol Pump dispensing change, I could well think of travelling in a city bus coming with added comfort plus. As I longed to board CBD 2 (-) New Delhi Railway Station Gate Number 2, the wait saw me keep a tab on series of buses with no bruises. Primarily the connect they provide with buses like ISBT Sarai Kale Khan (567), Nehru Place (DS-28), Nehru Place (442), Noida Sector 62 (392), Sarai Kale Khan ISBT (711 A), Shahdara (623), Badarpur (479), ISBT Anand Vihar (543 A), Safdarjung (568, 628), Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (588), and this city keeping a track of unmanned ATMs in a jiffy (Mind you, all these places in the heart of Delhi). ATMs do give the comfort of collecting as well as correlating cash, those be on vigil where there is an intentional party bash. 

Thoughts On Pockets In North To Those In West Lot

Having boarded the said bus at 9.30, some of the spots it touched were West Kidwai Nagar, East Kidwai Nagar, South Extension, Andrews Ganj, Gupta Market, Lajpat Nagar, Nehru Nagar with thoughts on Himachal the Province in North India and Kopargaon tucked in Maharashtra Province with some willing to speak on Canadian credit union Tandia. There are directions to Mathura Road, India Gate, Nizamuddin, and having made note of CROMA A TATA ENTERPRISE store and Honda Authorised Service Centre, we are in a city where there are services of car rental minus cartel. As we are close to Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin, thoughts again on Maharashtra and temperatures peaking there and drip irrigation module almost on verge of ageing. Thoughts as well on observations made by TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) that campus recruitment would in the near future shrunk, and in due course junk. All along the bus ride some peppered with the belief that staying hooked to a cell can give updates on those at home ringing the bell. Ringing bell to welcome visitors from South who feign ignorance about those who have vote clout. Right after Golf Club, the bus turns right to Subramania Bharti Marg and in quick succession accessed Delhi Zoo and National Stadium where some while crossing this stretch think of holding all-powerful AGM (Annual General Meeting). Mind you, there is back to back traffic, and this won't get reservoir of support from traffic addict.

ITO Accessed, Delhi Gate Next

At 10.14 ITO gained with no thoughts on Kyoto crane. Kyoto Protocol of '97 legally binds developed nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to this date some would note there have been least submissions. When the Powers Of The North (Developed Countries) be candid enough to submit themselves to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and not take pleasure to see the Powers Of South (Developing Countries) in division. In ITO there is Pearey Lal Bhawan, Shankar's International Doll Museum with the urgency to be shown by city  administrators to keep Delhi Gate well lit during night with no resolve to get in a fight. As one goes past Parsi Anjuman, there are thoughts on Japan and peaking temperatures that can't be canned. Thoughts on Mount Abu in Rajasthan Province, Colaba in Maharashtra where too peaking temperatures make some skip milk in pack of tetra. Peaking temperatures all around can be no fun, from North To South, East To West it hits the alacrity signals of even those who are not plump. We are on Jawaharlal Nehru Marg as we touch the base of Zakir Husain Delhi College and Civic Centre, and here some in animated conversation bordering candour. Having alighted here, the approach to New Delhi Railway Station Platform 16  bring us face to face with those who are teen.

Leaving Safdarjung Enclave Home On A Friday

Leaving Safdarjung Enclave Home On A Friday

As One Headed towards South Section of Delhi, it was Friday with none to spill the beans on who would have fun in the fray. Left Safdarjung Enclave home at 7.15 in the morning with those areas abutting Gate Number three likely to hold tourney. Tourney on who was likely to reap a windfall as this summer heat is making most crawl. This unsparing summer is making most withdraw from day to day activities, nothing of that seen in the decade of '80s. Eighties was the best decade for India as it proudly staged Asian Games with most of the contacts with South East Asian Nations fetching requisite gains. This was the decade when a ride to Ajmer pin pointed that one would as well travel at some point of time to Jaisalmer. Mind you, Ajmer and Jaisalmer are important sections in Rajasthan Province holding the prospects of making discoveries that would enthrall those who would be in corridor of twins.  

Decade Of Eighties For India

This was the decade when one party had secured brute majority in Lower House of Parliament with those taking potshots at the leader not in a rocking tent. This was the decade when any one could debate and decipher with the man residing in Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) after 1987 was the one from South India, and having prime connect with those from North India. As these thoughts looked intertwined while making a foray to South Section, the passage through Central Market Safdarjung Enclave looked to be neat and tidy, and in this part of Delhi some time later some would be required to furnish ID. As one went pass Green Fields School followed by a reminder that there were in A2 wing houses from 40 to 68, in no time there was sighting of Embassy Of The Republic Of Mali where visitors do come on festive occasion of Diwali. From directions to Chanakyapuri to JNU (JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY) spelled out there were none with notable pout. As one strolled towards ST. THOMAS CHURCH  in church road, it was time the establishment in New Delhi could instill confidence that people of different faith could vote rote by rote. Having been in service road of Africa Avenue, the stroll to Swami Venkateswara Mandir Marg could spell for some that in all likelihood there won't be a drop in GST revenue. GST on a host of items should evaporate as some insurance firms are still levying excessive premium despite GST Tank abandoned, and this heard in corridors of London. London be at peace with itself, prayer coming from as far away place as Delft. Having been to Lord Venkateswara Temple R K Puram and stayed for a while it was time to take a return ride in a public transport that doesn't bite. 

Walk That Was Home To Varied Ideas

It was a walk to South Section mirroring Middle Class expectations and aspirations. It was a walk when one was mired in thoughts about those hawkers who were being evicted from public space in the city of Kolkata (Kolkata Is Capital Of West Bengal Province) where at random calls do come from Quetta. It was a walk when one would have looked prime to spare thoughts on Jakarta Metropolitan Region which is considered to be the most populous and bubbling metropolitan region of the world spanning provinces of Jakarta, West Java and Banten home as well to those who are followers of Albert Einstein. Indonesia as of now looks fertile to do business, and those committed would have innings steady and not tenuous. It was a walk decked with hope that regions of the world that have been pounded would kiss peace at last, and this uncertain stretch would be a forgettable past. It was a walk that gave a clarion call that one has to stay balanced and unvarying as inflation is least sparing.

Hale And Hearty Is Middle Section Of Delhi; Disenfranchised For No Dirty Deed And Signals They Should Read

Hale And Hearty Is Middle Section Of Delhi; Disenfranchised For No Dirty Deed And Signals They Should Read

Having gone past Lajpat Nagar subway, there was prime need that it had sufficient lighting during early morning and later in the evening as one never knows who has sight on whom and ever ready to send signals and croon. As the bus turned left and here thoughts were on depleting ground water levels in North India, and here most bereft of an idea. Difficult to have the glory of 19th century when the talk of receding water level kept none edgy. The water and the whisper this century is all about the wastage that one comes across in cities and towns with some section maintaining this is equivalent of squandering of public money on security of those who have taken the crown. Caribbean nations never had it that bad, India needs to revisit frame in which security of go-getters is seen as trap. 

Thoughts On Kerala And Ernakulam With SIR Looking Bizarre

As ad of Ultratech Cement ( World's Number One Cement) hogged the spotlight, the bus veered towards Hazrat Nizamuddin Shrine where e-rickshaws were in play with thoughts on Kerala and Ernakulam by no means turning grey. Here in Hazrat Nizamuddin Shrine people mark attendance from as varied locale as Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and J&K with noting made of car rental services in Delhi NCR (National Capital Region) that at no point should remain barred. As all are not comfortable in taking out their public transport, and here hiring vehicles for multiple visitors coming from Circle Dupont. As there are directions to Connaught Place, New Delhi Railway Station, Khan Market my bus goes past Dr Zakir Hussain Marg, Kaka Nagar with accessing Delhi Zoo most looking to be eager. The bus never losing an opportunity to keep date with Bhagwan Das Road with some maintaining the SIR (Special Intensive Revision) exercise which led to almost 10 million voter deletions in Tamil Nadu Province, almost 7 to 8 million in Bihar Province, almost 7 to 8 million in Bengal Province would boomerang as there would be resistance far and wide with notable commentary coming from places next to river siang. Commentary would be the poll body is at fault and in due course the deleted voters would oppose to pay this toll. 

They Won't Take It Lying Down

Disenfranchised for now, this section of people won't take it lying down, and there would be repeat episodes of some having to do away with their crown. Marginalised section to those in minority have been picked one by one to get them disenfranchised, and with no due diligence on hand this excess of poll body would be short of fun. You want to play with the future of India and sooner than later you would be left alone placing bets whether you can reach home zone. This was the sum total of deliberations on the way to Delhi Station, and in the station where people by and large content to take dictation.

Reaching ITO; Leaving From Super Bazar Connaught Place

Having reached ITO at 10, Bureau Of Indian Standards to area around Delhi Gate under CCTV surveillance was all one could make out this muggy morning with Rewari in Haryana likely to stage this tourney. The bus goes past Zakir Hussain Delhi College, Civic Centre and here they match steps with candour with those paying rental. Reach Delhi Station Ajmeri Gate at 10.12, and from here the threat of trespassing does not look to be real. As announcements on series of trains like Howrah Rajdhani, Dibrugarh Rajdhani, Nanded-Amritsar Express, Agra-New Delhi Express, Ranchi Rajdhani one tries to figure out the poll body's feud with public at large is in public domain keeping no one in doubt. This feud would fester for long inviting diatribe from as unheard of places as Kalimpong. Board DTC bus 433 from Super Bazar Connaught Place with those seated inside saddled with grace.

Gaining Access To Middle Section Of Delhi Where Cauldron Of Protest Can Engineer Long Shades Of Rally

Gaining Access To Middle Section Of Delhi Where Cauldron Of Protest Can Engineer Long Shades Of Rally

As one stepped out of Safdarjung Enclave home on Thursday eager to understand, eager to preach why usage of public transport some ditch, the mission to explore Delhi looked familiar where in due course would come atelier. Atelier where artisans and artists would showcase their talent in a city where due process should be followed while looking for a tenant. Atelier that could sum up the expansive mood of those wishing to share their works coming on the back of long series of jerks. Jerks from receding water supply to power that can't be 24x7 ally.  Delhi is home to over 14 million people, most chasing their dreams having occasionally sighted their double. 

Taking A Bus To Head Towards Middle Section Of Delhi

As I inched towards Nauroji Nagar bus stand in the heart of Delhi, there were series of buses with no bruises heading towards Badarpur (479), Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (727), Safdarjung (578), Nehru Place (442), Sarai Kale Khan (978) with the expected meet between China and North Korea not looking to be raw enlisting praise from those going by the name Revah. As I boarded CBD 2 to New Delhi Railway Station, there were thoughts on Ajmer Shrine (Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah), and trains going to Ajmer from Delhi Cantt which on occasions have fresh coat of paint. Go past Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Setu, the corridor I took in 2025 September to reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Station for Chennai (Tamil Nadu Province In South India) bound train carrying enough fame. As the bus went past West Kidwai Nagar, East Kidwai Nagar, thoughts were on Mughalsarai and would this territory give a Commonwealth Summit try? Go past Kalyan Jewellers, Tanishq store, Khanna Jewellers, Punjab Jewellers, and some from Darjeeling and North East States at South Extension bus stand waiting for a longish ride with no Delhi tales to hide. 

Existential Dilemma That Students Find Themselves In

Delhi tales have all been about education sector in India in a spot of bother with paper leaks to OMS (Online Marking Scheme) receiving flak, and the ministry concerned least willing to keep a track. For how long students running into millions and millions be at the receiving end of a system that is well short of claps of wisdom. Corrective measures that it could not initiate the previous year, millions all set to lose this year. Why play with the future of students as they are considered to be most enlightened soul holding aloft the message that at every education passage they need not be expected to pay a hefty toll. These 12 years have brought little cheers and with home budget looking all exhausted would the students have the calibre to pay extra for exorbitant school fees to coaching centres that make them time and again sneeze. One is astounded by the heft of vacillation and indecision in the corridors of power and these dour settings visiting hour by hour. Let this existential dilemma that students find themselves in be resolved for good as any power play that exceptionally talks about select business houses alone can be prelude for irritating times thereby losing the velocity to chime. 

As the bus waded past Andrews Ganj, Lajpat Nagar, Vinobapuri, CROMA A TATA ENTERPRISE  could be sighted with ease. By 9.45 the bus had turned left heading towards Bhogal, Hazrat Nizamuddin where OPUS Paints store receiving rave reviews with no sighting of a rebel.

Having Been To South Delhi Section Again With No Sighting Of Rain In Chain

Having Been To South Delhi Section Again With No Sighting Of Rain In Chain

Times we are in with the chorus inflation is the new king, I stepped out another day matching steps with those who were young and not grey. Precisely at 7 in the morning I left with moments spent in Udhagai with Mr Deepan and Mr Satyan (City Palace Restaurant) at the back of my mind in a year 2018 when Middle East looked to be fine. That was the year, that was the occasion when prime land of South (South India) could be accessed with ease with enough chanting of peace. That was the time sections abutting Middle East could give a clarion call that expatriates to newcomers could reap a bounty haul. Jobs were on the shelf with some acquiring with pride certification of TELF (Teaching English As A Foreign Language). Nowadays some are astounded by the sheer heft of uncertainty in Middle East almost touching 100 days with most of the nations yet to clear the haze. Jobs on decline to prospects of host of industries finding strenuous to chime, the 100-day dust has piled up thanks to a politico who has realised it is arduous climb to get on amity truck. 

From Home Turf There Are Rebel Who Can't Bluff

The war, the strife and the trouble emanate from his home turf where he knowingly knows there are sizeable rebel who can't bluff. The garrulous man could not stop at one, invading host of fields where petty conversation was fun. He is fluent in expansive designs and bewildered looks his convoy losing each passing hour shine. As against this paramount observation, let the world rise to say no to those with distracted card to play and a sequence that is in disarray. 

Churn And Chiselling Thoughts

Churn and chiselling thoughts on Middle East do convey that irrespective of a tall order LPG Refill should find place in home runway border. LPG Refill prices have shot up by a mammoth proportion, and here we do not foresee any less induction. As these thoughts crossed my mind, I leaped to gain foothold in South Delhi Section gaining hour by hour traffic traction. Going past Gate Three to Central Market where passage is free, the sum total of accessing Africa Avenue tied to a search for those that report for jobs of train crew thereby fighting away career blues. Moments later I was in ST. THOMAS CHURCH and here some dissecting the inflation battle they wanted to dodge. Before closing hours of seven I was in Lord Venkateswara Temple R K Puram Sector 3 with prized moments spent with those who artfully glee. Heat predominant as it tried to bake the earth, and cardinal rule one would be required to engage cool tool. Cool tool like ACs to flights with fractured chassis purchased on staggered wages may lead to greenhouse gas emission exacerbating global warming with a debate lingering would heat be ever receding? Heat widening to heat never in hiding one would have to live with as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) add to the day to day trick brick.

Having Been To South Section Of Delhi Which Has No Road Named Hailey

Having Been To South Section Of Delhi Which Has No Road Named Hailey

Having been to South Section, the walk has been to gain access to Ber Sarai and R K Puram (Ber Sarai, R K Puram Are In Heart Of Delhi) with fewer known to develop interest in sports Carrom. Carrom nowadays some play as if to suggest those inclined are the ones who pray. Carrom is well suited for a region like Iran which was invaded by Administration In The West for no fault, and this Washpinton would realise with dose of stress and jolt. You could never bring peace in any region and herein alarmed by a peaceful nation like Iran where people are in no dire confusion. Shame to Washpinton for letting the world reach this stage where inmates find themselves in a staggered cage. No nation nowadays is safe as one never knows from which quarter missiles would rain giving teething trouble and pain.Weird is the leader, weird is his outlook as newspapers across world have slammed him and his cook. You are in a trivial pursuit and you are out and out rude. For how long residents of Iran would have to stay indoors disposed to the idea of playing carrom as they can't step out as they could well sight in action Barron.

Walk On Different Days Inviting Praise

Coming to walk on different days inviting different praise has been with the intent to secure uniball eye pen in a city where people in the middle hours get witty. Starting from Safdarjung Enclave, going past Gate Number 3 where passage is free and roundabout there is Jerusalem Mar Thoma Syrian Church where the visitors learn the art to put in a prayer with no fear. House 147 and here people occasionally sport brand Raymond, and browse with no grouse. Browse to know the weather in Middle Section Of India to Section abutting South where no happenings are trivia. Going past Central Market where down the years sensing shortage people would be storing water in a bucket and in Green Fields School teachers try to impress discipline is the rule. As one went past Embassy Of The Republic Of Mali there were in proximity people going by the name Mr Ali. From here there are directions to JNU  (JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY), Chanakyapuri where some drop hints on Hindi/Telugu movie Peddi. Having gained insights on Africa Avenue where tunnel road/ elevated road down the years would come up to ease movement of traffic at the moment looking maverick. 

Reaching ST. THOMAS CHURCH 

Once having reached ST. THOMAS CHURCH ( Established 1972) which all along has conveyed the message nipped in the bud would be conduct of leaders who release from time to time sessions of purge. All religion are same, adherents get fame and gain. Once on service road Swami Venkateswara Mandir Marg came in no time with those in attendance in IIT Hostel Bus Stand trying to figure out who all would have to pay fine. From here Ber Sarai just a stone's throw away where admirers of uniball eye pen play. Mind you, the first contact with this set of pen was in Puttaparthi In Andhra Pradesh Province and followed by Munaf Stores in Guruvayur In Kerala Province where seldom people drop hints on territories having sand dunes.  On another outing to R K Puram Sector three I could figure out this set of pen was in abundance in Chawla Book Depot, and some familiar with tech gadgets that come from the House Of Vippo. 

On some of these outings laid bare was the issue of inflation intoxicated King not losing wing. Inflation it is hard to fathom and administrators should double down on measures to rein in as none seem to win in this uncertain ring. To gain solitude is a hard battle on hand despite some boasting of budget grand.  In these uneven times, solitude looks elusive as there are vehicles all over the place, and traffic temperament is decided by those residing in Rajasthan's Tonk where global warming is as visible as to Delhi's Don.

Gaining Access To Middle Section Of Delhi In May Host To Different Play

Gaining Access To Middle Section Of Delhi In May Host To Different Play

Having been in Delhi for almost three months with thoughts on South Indian Provinces coming back and forth, there was a ride in isolation to Middle Section Of Delhi with newspapers giving little clew on inflation rally. Board CBD 2 (DTC bus) with exchange of trivial messages between air and train crew. As there were Haryana Roadways' buses coming from Narnaul and Kaithal, thoughts were on Ajmer (Rajasthan Province) and Gandhinagar (Gujarat Province) where one can't figure out the leader who is as well a reader with no rider. Go past Kalyan Jewellers, Tanishq store which clients do visit after taking a South India tour. As message one came across of travelling without a ticket is a punishable offence, thoughts veer towards General Coach train passengers headed to Mughalsarai and Varanasi in Hindi belt, and they be spared from stone pelt. What if in Hindi belt some can't pay for general ticket as prices of essential commodities are broad surpassing double digit. Here thoughts on Nagpur (Maharashtra Province) and Amreli (Gujarat Province) where forbidden temperatures make one stay indoor foreclosing option to take out high inflation rally with no word on perfume dior. Thoughts as well on Tamil Nadu Sampark Kranti train leaving Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin Station  (Hazrat Nizamuddin Shrine Is Nearby) reaching Habibganj, and herein no need for evacuation. Rakes of Indian Railways are old and there is a dire need to replace them as high temperatures make them vulnerable, and here few on board can get bold. 

Going Past Varied Locales In Delhi

As public transport went past Andrews Ganj some were having juice, and as the bus ride flanked by Lajpat Nagar, Vinoba Puri, Nehru Nagar and Ashram spots, the Ashram Underpass is much to praise inviting season to season gauge. Moments later gain access to HDFC Bhogal Branch followed by Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin where people from all over world come to put in a prayer, and this section releasing enough care. Go past Dr Zakir Hussain Marg, Supreme Court with some yet to spell stand on those who could not vote. Thoughts on Chennai in Tamil Nadu Province which is expected to be lashed by rains, and this State has forests dense making fewer tense. Few moments later there is ITO, Delhi Gate, Haj camp, and here there are thoughts on airline of the past PAN AM. No lessons in guessing when it would hit traffic ramp. The bus goes past Zakir Hussain College, Civic Centre with some holding brief on temperatures to rally in winter.

This voyage to Middle Section Of Delhi was necessitated by the need to visit New Delhi Railway Station which is home to little traffic for some duration. Ashram Underpass which came before 2025 evoked response from those taking a ride inviting no taunts. This ride commensurate with the belief that inflation won't be brief. Sweeping statements would be released from the quarters of those holding power that inflation won't hit not even one including those trying a ride in a bus or a ride in range rover where accelerator is the guest.

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana V

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana V

Having the audacity to do three provinces at one time, can the decade of '20s raise a roadmap with none to track. Going to Anjanadri Betta Hills from Anegundi to hitting the Hubli trail with some finding the weather to be trendy, the gut feel all about I coming across people from Chennai's Guindy. Chennai's Guindy to hear and share in detail the success tale. The threat perception less talked about in a nation where keeping prices steady is day to day bout, I could sense Viruparagadde won't be tense. From Hubli ( Karnataka Province) as I entered Coimbatore ( Tamil Nadu Province), there were collection of people opening doors. 

On A New Curve

From the ride in a cramped bus to Kotagiri, staying with no intention to meet those named Lilly, the thrust in this small town essentially conveying there is no pressing need to adjust. Had it not been for inclement weather I would have stayed more, unwinding stories for sure. Once at Udhagamandalam, the search for veg puff to Coonoor on a new curve, the handshake moments with the likes of Mr Mohammad to Mr Antony showed this part of Tamil Nadu home to India's A Team on a new turf. Minorities largely Muslims and Christians gel together in this Tamil Nadu belt, all having same aspirations with no friction.

Credit To People For Unity In Diversity

If provinces of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Telangana could essay a path of unity in diversity, the credit would go to people at large and life fit to be looked through prism of a voyage. Let us hail the undercurrents of South with residents partaking benefits of measures intended to uplift them, and most comfortable in surroundings gem. From the hills of Udhagai to plains of Hyderabad, clarion call would come that attempts to raise division among people would backfire even if division monster is on hire. From the hills of Coonoor to plains of Chennai, the art of letting prosperity touch those that on sighting visitors do not close doors and take honesty vows. From the hills of Wellington ( Tamil Nadu) to plains of Bengaluru, the art to let association of ideas to leap with no blip is sum total of deliberations, and a Dispatch To Delhi To See The Nation In Unison.

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana IV

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana IV

Having reached Coimbatore, it was a chance visit to Aroma Bakery where I had vada and black tea with some eager to detail Japan movie Harakiri. Released in 1962, it was some sort of a thriller with repeat audience trying to figure out the leader. The leader who could do no wrong to leader of today tracing good number of youngsters in unemployment pond. Why unemployment won't lose thunder in the coming months as those with qualifications won't find jobs that demand patience. Vacancies are on a decline, the '80s track of mixed economy was somewhat fine with less reportage of anomalies, and this leading the gathering to "say cheese".

Manageable National Debt-To-GDP Ratio

As attempts to unfurl Harakiri remained unfinished, I looked back on occasions I got drenched in Udhagamandalam as the place had been lashed by rains with or without sighting of sage. Udhagai in the months of May and June receives bountiful rains with hints coming as early as Feb-April when one hits treadmill. Treadmill to be in shape as calls do come from Middle East to report for work dawn to dusk bringing their set of keys which they can trust. Nowadays Middle East and trust are poles apart, few finding merit in having yoghurt.  Handsome dividend await guys who are transported to Middle East where efforts are made off and on to look at the roadmap laid by Greece. Greece has been able to win laurels for bringing down national debt-to-GDP ratio with some discussing the same in Japanese retail chain daiso. Greece's attempt to get the fun package from tourism is a mixed bag and here Udhagai should introspect if tourism can be the sole bet. It should try to initiate proceedings where returns do come from other sectors with tea gardens to coaching centres coming in abundance.

Taking A Ride In A Metro In South

As I left Coimbatore and reached Hyderabad, taking a room in Padmaja Lodge came handy in Secunderabad. On May 28 took Hyderabad metro from Secunderabad East to Ameerpet and from Ameerpet to Miyapur. The ride lasting little over 40 minutes with some evaluating the fun of having doughnuts. This stay in Secunderabad good, and the prospects of making traffic free in some section dovetails well with the blueprint of metro gaining traction.

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana III

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana III

The year 2018, the month May with no intention to meet Kolkata Gentleman Mr Dey. Mr Dey to this date would be keeping correspondence with some in Udhagamandalam hoping to hear from them on new initiatives kicked in to keep affairs steady in this Tamil Nadu town with fair number of people alert to not get belly round. Weight they would not like to put on, looking incredibly graceful and refined for eon. Besides correspondence Mr Dey would be recipient of whatsapp shots conveying the rich character of this place with due reminder monotonous has never been the pace. The rhythm and reservoir of support this place enlists primarily shows it takes pride in having undercurrents brisk. Undercurrents on areas as familiar as keeping prices under control to lend a helping hand to visitors in big cities and towns who have been trolled. Trolled for getting the satire gain a lift from a dramatic situation to those remaining unemployed for long despite doing no wrong.

Visits In 2011 And Thereafter

Visits to Udhagamandalam in 2011 and thereafter have been with a belief that notings on nature and those staying neutral would be duly followed with due load. Nature tends to give a leeway, and this understood in every quarter including areas short of subway. In Udhagamandalam, Coonoor and Kotagiri where temperatures seldom go beyond 24 degrees celsius during day at this time of the year marks onset of season with enough dose of fusion. Tourists would be coming all the way from Srisailam in Andhra hoping to peak with those who go by the name Sandra. Meeting Mr Antony, science and maths tutor, Mr Kiran running Hotel Green Valley all doubts about air quality were laid to rest as AQI has never been an irritating episode unlike some big cities where it is never-ending enigma coming rote by rote. On AQI one puts in sustained prayer it should not encircle this South India bastion where it is keen to keep postings mild including on ration for long duration (Ration is being denied in some sections of Hindi Heartland to those who have nothing to hide). From water fighting fit public to not let nuisance of plastic be fantastic, the administration here would like to see inmates add paean to the song acoustic.

Leaving Udhagai For Coimbatore

As I left Udhagai on May 26, 2018 for Coimbatore, I could sense the traffic in some sections not looking therapeutic, letting one to believe it would get a makeover over a period of time irrespective of guns having a sharp recoil to those trying to stay away from situations coil and interested to do transactions in dime.  The thunder and treat of this hill town suggested that it would from time to time put in measures where water is saved to the last drop to having visitors for whom options do the talk. Reaching Coimbatore at 5.30, I took bus number 36 from Gandhipuram, all praise for city palace cafeteria decorum.

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana II

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana II

Having Arrived In Udhagamandalam on May 22 with an understanding there would be fewer challenges for train crew, the first outing was towards Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary on a Wednesday which sees visitors erriday. On Thursday set out to explore Nilgiri Mountain Railway which was conferred World Heritage in 2005 in a season when rumours were not rife. Nilgiri Railway Co constructed the railway from 1886 to 1899 between Mettupalayam and Coonoor employing 'Alternate Biting Teeth' technology. In Jan 1903 the railway was purchased by the govt and construction between Coonoor and Udhagamandalam was completed in 1908, and that was A Grade.

Taking Nilgiri Train In Udhagamandalam 

As I stepped into Nilgiri train which left Udhagai at 12.43 PM, Lovedale came at 12.54 with three tunnels on the way with some holding hands to pray.  Ketti at 1.07  Aravankadu at 1.42 with a prime noting " Water Is Precious. Don't Waste Water". At 1.54 Wellington and at 1.58 Coonoor where at random people come on a tour. Precisely from here Kotagiri 22 kms, Lambi's rock nine kms,  Dolphin's Nose 12 kms with those marking attendance primarily from news agency Reuters. The rush and risk of taking a train back to Udhagamandalam with no ticket as all seats had been taken made me set in search for a bus, and leaving after 4 and reaching Udhagai after 5 was a ride with no stress. 

Leaving For Doddabetta Peak

On May 25 left for Doddabetta Peak. It was raining cats and dogs and I taking shelter next to Mr Arun and sister Aruna studying in a college in Avinashi Main Road Coimbatore, the section by no means recording uproar. Doddabetta Peak and roundabout is witness to steady stream of visitors when schools are closed, and colleges do not host debates on who would take the prime political post having skipped  morning toast. Morning toast skipped, the monumental folly of issuing a whip is integral to a regime staying in office, and the administration that could rein in runaway inflation even after having no meeting of mind with Mr Davis.

As I left Udhagai on May 26 to head towards Coimbatore and later for a brief spell to Hyderabad (Telangana Province), the stay mirrored expectations of middle class who keep aloof from those administrators who unfurl promises in Distant Davos. Distant Davos no need to visit as a nation's debt can be in triple million digit. This Udhagai chapter was sweet and as South India residents would realise this hill station welcomes visitors with different beat, some with shoestring budget, some carrying credit card through which one can with caveat thrown in leap to bat. Let Udhagamandalam for centuries put together host tourists from all over the world, those coming from Africa to those working for those firms with astounding EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Amortisation) with no common spotting of santita. Udhagamandalam during rush season sees awful lot of vehicles on road, solution may well lie in taking a hint from a man in Tamil Nadu's Erode.

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana

Reflections On A May Visit To Karnataka, Tamil Nadu And Telangana

Leave Delhi on May 14, 2018 to head towards Bengaluru where it is poised to have a weather pattern vastly different from Rajasthan's Churu. On a mission to explore South India States where people invariably have dates, had the courage to take meals from Swathi Deluxe in Majestic bus stand which  down the years would host visitors from distant Pyongyang. Train to Hospet saw me deboard on May 16 with I accessing Anegundi which is powered to usher in long innings. Visited Lord Hanuman Temple in Anjanadri Betta Hills which to date has moderate climate with some refusing to place order for doughnut. 

Leave Anegundi To Take A Room In Viruparagadde, Take A Room In Hampi

Leave Anegundi on May 17 ( Thursday) for Viruparagadde to take a room in Mowgli Guest House, and here inmates seldom browse. Meet Mr Sujith, Mr Pawan ( National Institute Of Creative Communication ) while taking a boat ride to Hampi; stay here for three days with none resorting to a car chase. Stayed in Pushpa Guest House in Hampi run by Mr S Raghavendra whose associates at some point of time would have visited Province Andhra. There was a Lord Venkateswara Picture in the first floor room and I taking this opportunity to inform them that I am too ardent devotee of Tirumala Lord and in the '90s Famed Laddoos used to come to R K Puram's Syndicate Bank (New Delhi) looking broad. Why Tirumala Laddoos have stopped coming to New Delhi no one knows as here some stores at night seldom close. 

Leave Hampi For Hubli, Reach Coimbatore, Reach Kotagiri, Reach Udhagamandalam

Leave Hampi on May 20 and after taking South Indian delicacies from Naivedyam Restaurant in Hospet take a train to Hubli with none having come across women going by the name Lily. In Hubli take a room in Hari Prasad lodge in Gokul Road, taking as well meals from Akshay Inn Airport Road with no certainty of proceedings resembling drought. Flights from Hubli to Bengaluru and Bengaluru to Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu Province) on May 21 when the summer in South India is fun. On May 21 visit a centre to cancel train ticket from Coimbatore to Hyderabad as one doesn't foresee any sizeable reward. On this day take a bus from Coimbatore Ooty bus stand at 4.15 reaching Kotagiri at 8.05 PM with no necessity to hold AGM (Annual General Meeting). Take a room in Majestic and leave Kotagiri for Udhagamandalam (Tamil Nadu Province) on May 22  reaching at 3.05 PM when ships have no agonising moments concerning their crew.

Exploring Udhagamandalam And Beyond

Leave at 10. 37 AM on May 23 to explore Udhagamandalam and beyond having come across hoarding of goal in life: Living In Harmony With Nature. Perhaps global warming leading millions to fiddle with nature leading to rupture. Come across on a repeated scale pronouncements on plastic ban, and here plastic has been canned. Reach 9th Mile at 1.10, Pykara Dam at 1.20 PM. A board shows Calicut 139 kms, Gudalur 29 kms and this is the latest. After reaching Pykara boat house meet students of DG Vaishnav College Chennai, and hoping aircrafts won't come face to face in this maddening air race. Reach Gudalur at 3.42 and thereafter Masinagudi, Maravakandy Dam (Constructed in 1951) and Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary which has 63 tigers spread over 321 square kilometers, and this ably reported by news agency reuters.  Reach Moyar Lake at 6.20 and leave Masinagudi at 7.10 with I accessing Udhagai (Udhagamandalam) at 9 perhaps conveying the residents here retain month to month shine.

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey V

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey V

Having been to Rajasthan on occasions I cannot count, the commute from Delhi has been amplified by a broad range of buses to trains with fellowmen dissecting works of Keynes. From macro thunder to business cycles that linger, the residents are in the know fuelling speculation that at its own convenient time it would glow.  Here coming across some men I could sense growing disquiet about big cities sparing none who don't break the logjam in Parliament to logjam on street which is akin to paying rent and facing the commuting heat. Trivial it may look for traffic gridlock to stay in a big city, Jaisalmer has been spared this distress with winning hours coming in a tray. Torment and anguish that one is subjected to while driving and diving in a city like Delhi, the city of Jaisalmer there is no rush hour to rush shower, as all are content with taking their sweet time to open the store or to write a will on assets in hill. 

The Fun Begins Here

From the fun of watching tourists roam the streets, to those essentially from Sweden matching the local beat, JSM has seen it all, and if weather does not turn nasty, it would from season to season reap a rich haul. There were those disposed to the idea that their vacation spot staying power be spread by word of mouth as they engage services of people from different faith as India is a huge nation with each province blessed with a varying tale to narrate. JSM has convenience stores more than dozen, the small city with a population reading of under a half million is easy to govern. Roadside robberies to king sized lotteries one does not come across, here peace chants are all about no one is the boss. Respect to guests, respect to those on the rolls convey the art of bringing all on board as this is a province over seven decade old. In March 1949 princely states of Jodhpur, Jaipur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner came under Greater Rajasthan Union, and ever since then there have been spectacular sightings zillion.

Art Of Doing The Impossible

JSM to Jodhpur the art of doing the impossible would chip in irrespective of caveat king. Households along roadside to households inside towns and not looking giants raise a prayer that they get saddled with openings in their home turf with least migration share. One looks fulfilled in his or her backyard, soothing session from changing mood of the heat is the reward. Come a behemoth or colossal loss of face from the ship that could not dock, for JSM to Jodhpur sighting those staying in India's Western Ghats won't like to keep their itinerary hiding.

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey IV

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey IV

Prior to leaving for Rajasthan, I checked the status of premier train from New Delhi going all the way to Abu Road (Rajasthan Province) where contacts are primarily established with those in Abuja rote by rote. Abu Road would have looked fine as there are cafeteria that are simple run by those who sport dimple. Here in Abuja National Assembly and Supreme Court work in concert to deliver justice to the common man, and youngsters coming in for praise for being outright frank. Frank one should be in conduct and if those in foreign shores maintain minorities rights are shrinking in India, New Delhi should take remedial steps to begin a new chapter enlisting minorities in the driving seat facing from no quarters heat. Minorities should not face the backlash for the reason they repose faith in one particular religion, they are as human as any other group with a vision.

Disturbing Reports On Those To Be Denied Welfare Schemes

Having come across reports entailing sections like minorities and others in the provinces of West Bengal and Bihar whose names don't figure in voter list (SIR-deleted names) won't get benefits of welfare schemes even by no chinks. And here New Delhi should ensure aid dole out irrespective of caste, creed and colour for all sections roar with no uproar. West Bengal and Bihar would face opposition to no end if welfare schemes exclude one section of people for no fault, and this SIR exercise is dirty and would lead to proceedings drought. 

Visit Of 2014 To Visit Of 2026

Coming to those in Abu Road, who establish contacts with Abuja, they are guys with a mission to hit the ground running, and not fuming. They spent hours to acclimatize themselves with the high temperatures in distant shores of Nigeria as well as abreast with the gains one make by taking a public transport in Algeria's Cheria. Coming to prime train to Abu Road ( 12958 ), the commute it promised was before 5 in the morning, and I shed all plans to explore Mount Abu where in action is revue. With Mount Abu dropped and accessing Ajmer tied in knots, I had to settle for Jaisalmer via Jodhpur. Last time I visited the place by taking a connecting train from Jaipur reaching around 12 in the afternoon in the month after June. 2014 was the year, no need for minorities to relinquish the Platform of Aspiration with fear. As for 2026 outing, the range of accommodations to range of evaluation got me on a pedestal of hope, with those in attendance praising Pope. Perhaps from Sweden to The Netherlands the message has stayed firm that the Pope aims to bring healing touch to fields that have been torched in an exercise bordering hotchpotch. Pope would like to see a world freed from disputes which at the moment look to be huge. This outing to Jaisalmer saw a fair sprinkling of tourists coming from France, and in this territory there are a good number of Muslims with peace chants. To these French tourists torrential appeal was made to visit SAM, some 50 kms from here, which in moderate climate is a must-visit fair.

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey III

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey III

Ever since I returned from Rajasthan, thoughts come back and forth on a province and on those who port from one mobile operator to another sensing an opportunity not coming in brevity. Port they do in the face of statements and claims from a mobile operator that services would stay undisturbed even if there are visitors who have been to a pub. Perhaps from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur I could not come across standalone pub or a chain gaining fame courtesy a well crafted blurb. Perhaps drinking and the idea may be anathema for scores of people as their kids visit schools that are double. Open drinking I could not spot as people by and large understand drinking next to a theatre, drinking next to a tutor who of late has been waylaid are undercurrents of a community that dither. Dither on issues as essential as sending wards to schools, to sending children to have a session in pool. Dither whether the smart electricity metres installed would do a world of good or generate bills for restaurants, malls and households essentially conveying excessive moolah rule. Perhaps in the Hindi Heartland express orders to stop their installation may come into due play sensing electoral plaudits, post polls the bills may be in varying digits. That has been the correction schedule that provinces in this belt have employed in the run up to poll that fewer find cool.

Fewer Jobs, Fewer Water Knobs

Having stayed primarily in western part of Rajasthan, Jaisalmer is nicknamed "Golden City" and Jodhpur "Blue City".  Have the inhabitants been able to chase away midlife blues in the face of shrinking job space to contracting cricket craze which is hit hard by a mat of haze. Packed buses with no bruises to Jaipur, Jalore, Shergarh, Pokhran, Ramdevra, Jaisalmer, Tiwari, Osian, Bhopalgarh, most in western part, may illustrate the hip and happening template somewhat opposite to jobs that have a shut gate. A vendor here, a visitor there may be scouring for water in deep heat, this section of the province has a different writ. Water batteries remain charged may be a prayer, do ground realities convey a different trace fear?  As of now, nerve-racking it may look for some inmates to log miles in search for water, this elusive resource keeping them on tenterhooks with none having designs to be a NTA tutor. The moment this territory which is in the thick of Thar Desert gains renewed water beat, much of the perturbation would be in isolation with no added fleet. You sweat in the sun, alarming proposition may look to have no fun, one hopes water and the noteworthy chase the country would evolve with a new churn.

Those Flocking From Distant Places

Oasis Haveli to Shahi Palace in Shiv Road to Renuka in Chainpura to name a few in Jaisalmer kept the cash registers ringing when there was no dry heat, does the innings of somnolence wrapped in innocence point to a flat market when tidings are sluggish and weather oppressive. For now there were set of people all over the place coming from as distant zone as Howrah in contact with those in Dausa. These guys could make out that negotiating 2245 kms from the Province of West Bengal to Province of Rajasthan may get them suntan, and here in this city they would collect requisite followers and fan. These Bengal guys knew inside out that spending anything less than a week may not get them the architecture of this place as it has well defined yellow sandstone ace. From Bengal to Bengaluru tourists would continue to flock taking in stride the prized moments spent here, and memories down the months to share.

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey II

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey II

Having been in Jaisalmer for six days, the unscripted visits to Jaisalmer Fort brought me in contact with host of people who had views on water tanker minus anchor. Here water tanker which may not make it to the Fort and would go careening down the steep path, and this known to those who don't welcome a ride in yatch. Though there are six water wells all shut, there are days when there is no water flow and this aberration is a blow. Coming across Mr Nandlal, Mr Kishan Gopal, Mr Lakshman Gopal, they were well versed with the briefing on South (South India), able to place Goddess Meenakshi Temple In Madurai and Lord Govinda  ( Lord Venkateswara ) Temple in Tirumala hosting devotees round the year with enough dose of cheer. Perhaps one among them came from Karachi and settled in Fort, able to visualise developments across country, and those destined to make big entry. In Tamil Nadu Province Tamil Star Mr Vijay has hit big, can this play out in Hindi Heartland brick by brick? 

The SIR Pack

As for the Fort it is over 900 years old, having come up during King Jaisal's reign in 1156, the time when no one had the audacity to play SIR trick. Perhaps the SIR commotion has reached the Fort as well with some maintaining that SIR exercise is primarily meant to shut doors on marginalised and those in minority who never presided over affairs that would make them look haughty. And this electoral roll revision googly some add paean as if to suggest sections of land have to be in chain. When the decision which poll body finds wise and fit on who would vote and who would not, and in the crosshairs are simple fellows who don't feel the need to maintain contact with those residing in Greece Island Delos. Droite may be the outlook of the poll body and the administration down the months would have something else to realise given the new findings leading to repercussions coming as no big surprise.

Renditions On Water

Mr Pankaj Bissa, Mr Kushal Bissa, Mr Kailash Ojha were other gentlemen I met in Fort and all worries were centred on water and the intermittent passage hitting the homes some alarmed by sighting of turncoats. Water scarcity in Fort looks real so does other enclave in Rajasthan primarily Mount Abu where some find it handy while functioning with machines of DELL. When Rajasthan The Province would get over this dispute no one knows in a nation where host of Riparian States deem fit to let this chapter close. Riparian Provinces need to better watch out for saving this reserve and prudent usage one should not dodge.

Valid Passage To Ajmer

As I completed and hailed my extempore visits to Fort, the next job on hand was to get a valid passage to Ajmer, and this came true through Jodhpur where some set of people have visited Australia's Uluru. Holding spiritual thrust, this is a must-visit for those who are vigilant dawn to dusk. The Ajmer travel rigmarole was easy to unpack despite I reaching the destination in the middle of night and coming across people of glorified height. Visit to Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Shrine was done with ease and hope peace tidings breeze in and win.

This task to explore Rajasthan was a good deed as one has maintained India despite deviation and divergence here and there is a treat. Treat to soak the natural air from Udhagamandalam to Udaipur, and this is no less than a fair. Treat to come across different set of people with different mindset who all along praise those who are not in loan debt. Treat to get the word out that India is a nation with a whisper of dry spell here and a deluge there and yet few subjected to wear and tear.

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey

Looking Back On Rajasthan Odyssey

Having decided I would be visiting Rajasthan Province, it was a toss up between Ajmer and Jaisalmer with a hint or two on Mount Abu on which reports seldom come in South Paper Eenadu. By no means an egregious folly to take a Tatkal train ticket from Sarojini Nagar Reservation Centre in South Delhi, as all attempts to get online ticket came a cropper despite some keen to have mineral water of the brand TATA COPPER. Tata Copper is fast making inroads in Indian market as it comes from the House of those who after meeting near and dear ones offer rose. Rose to placate them from rising prices of milk which fewer households sensing erosion can take in bulk. Rose to gain belief and hold steady that fuel consumption and alike in these uncertain times are visible cheats hitting belly.

Taking A Train To Jodhpur In Rajasthan

Left on a Monday on the way to Delhi Cantt with visible sighting of Bhikaji Cama Place, R K Puram, Moti Bagh, Nanakpura, Dhaula Kuan ( All Places In Delhi ) with Jodhpur bound train (26482) leaving at 3.11 PM. From a station where passengers desire there be connectivity to South India where Tamil, Telugu, Malyalam movies come with their set of sensation highlighting evacuation. Traversing areas as diverse as Alwar, Bandikui, Dausa, Jaipur, Phulera, Makrana, Degana ( All Places In Rajasthan ), the train made it to Jodhpur after 11 on day one. The ride in this city to Jalori Gate left me with sole option to take a room in Hotel Durga Silverline from where accessing Pal Balaji ( Lord Hanuman Temple ) was fine. With Jaisalmer on itinerary, took a bus from Jodhpur Central bus stand with the ride peppered with a message vote karein vafadari se, chayan karein samajdhari se (Vote With Loyalty, Make Wise Selection). Does this message hold relevant when the fire of SIR is making millions and millions getting denied vote on flimsy grounds rote by rote. In a nation of FIR, this SIR fire if not reined in would hit the base of those having illusions of being all-weather King. Reach Pokhran at 4.33 and on the way to Jaisalmer there is KASHIDA Exclusive Range Of Handicrafts By Artisans Of Western Rajasthan, and here some would be wise to spend South African Rand. Notings on Date Palm Safari look appropriate and I reach Jaisalmer at 6.38. This ride released the brief that even in winters the temperatures have the intensity to bake the earth and Rajasthan weather deliberated in distant Perth. 

Connecting The Dots In Jaisalmer

Taking a room in Camel Country in Chainpura Street followed by wonder of wonders in Hotel Renuka with no need to reflect on East Africa neighbourhood store Duka. Are these stores reaping a windfall little is known as Africa still struggles to pace itself as a safe investment zone. Hotel Renuka room reminded one of SUPRABATH TOWERS In Tirupati where Mr Jay Chandra Reddy was at the helm and like Mr Yash Purohit here who was kind enough to host me with notable mention be made of Irish bree. Interactions far and wide kicked up the debate on water and the prudent usage in a nation where from season to season come indispensable message. Indira Gandhi Canal coming into force in 1974 may have tide over the crisis but those living in Jaisalmer Fort are yet to have choices. From Mr Manohar Lal Purohit, Mr Yash Purohit, Mr Giriraj Purohit, Mr Narain Singh to Mr Talpat Singh would have bemoaned the shortfall in tourists during lean season sensing the high temperatures and low adventures. Even SAM the territory most visited in winters during summers has no footfall despite no one anticipating across border any major brawl.

Interactions were as well on 400-odd homes in Fort with 5000 people staying there and hoping to cash in on during winters as in some season there are no secured tethers. Raging unemployment, raging lawlessness and the aid that most expected the govt to release for small and marginal farmers in the face of fewer drip irrigation mechanism in place as tourism alone can't keep steady hope and be in 365 days race. Jobs and jobs all thundered, restraint in their criticism of a regime that seems to run short of zing. Sand dunes, which peaked during '40s and '50s, may have given way to more roads and more homes, some faring exceptionally well and not exacerbating climate change tolls. With six days spent here, there was no mismatch on roads to take, lanes to skip as a city of under a half million can still lend the idea that has no haze trace. From unemployment to underperforming sectors of economy, the country has seen it all and region like Jaisalmer would evince interest Winter or Fall.

Having Been To Ajmer Shrine, The Ride To City Of Delhi Where Some Take Stock Of Media Rally

Having Been To Ajmer Shrine, The Ride To City Of Delhi Where Some Take Stock Of  Media Rally

Having been to Ajmer Shrine (Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah), and having reached Station on time, the train departed with fewer seats occupied with no anecdotes to hide. This stay in Ajmer was primarily to do with a must-visit to Ajmer Shrine which is witness to a rush post nine. Frisking should come into play as we believe in all Religion With A Vision. When the train went past Kishangarh, few kms from Ajmer, there were appearance of bunch of freight trains with some having fresh coat of paints. Passengers are well aware the shortfall of revenue the railways make up by putting in more and more freight trains which are by and large minus frisking, and they are notable A KING. Railways do carry politicos of different beat and different heat with some wondering why questions can't be put to those running the affairs of country and these guys issuing express orders that Opposition Party Events should not find mention and entry. This diktat from treasury benches is doing no good; democracy can take more than baby steps if Opposition Groups are seen through the prism they are prude not rude.

Media Not Been Fair To Opposition

Opposition does not deem fit to welcome pot boilers and the regime in order is yet to have sleepless nights from ascent of dollar. This episode and those emanating from Tamil Nadu's Erode could very well take the sting out of baffles of Mainstream Media and give them praiseworthy idea. Mainstream Media for how long would give a miss to events of those in Opposition Space not known as treasury benches are yet to establish contact with distant Rome. If the wheels of fortune can make those at the helm take space in Opposition chase, this could be very much in the realm of anticipation if set of EVMs in the Corridors Of Establishment not fudged, and those doing the same not blushed. This was sum total of deliberations with a woman who joined the chorus after Jaipur (Jaipur Is Capital Of Rajasthan Province) where good number boarded the train with some having thoughts on Middle East in the month of February at a time when The Administration In The West had not gained infamy by declaring a war with no bar. 

Lush Green Fields Could Be A Lollipop

Lush Green fields which came before Jaipur could be a lollipop if the slew of godowns sighted do the talk. While Jaipur came at 7.33 (AM), lush green fields were spotted prior to nine and later, resilient were those serving breakfast on board, some probably hailing from BEAWAR where at some point of time Tamil would be the new flavour. BEAWAR figured prominently in Ajmer-Merwara State Of Rajputana. Ajmer Shatabdi coming from Delhi passes at 9.17 and with Alwar accessed there were series of flats looking of the same pattern like in Gurgaon (Haryana Province) which in some locale is called GURGAON NOW. Rewari (Haryana Province) came at 10.20, Palam at 11.20 and Delhi Cantt at 11.25 with notable mention of those having honest traits in areas like Nanakpura and take goodness vow. From Bengal trains do go all the way to Rajasthan including Jaisalmer where people are expected to pay fare with no airs. The time taken to complete this commute could be over and above 40 hours as people in Bengal take rice and reflect on innings pious.
