Postings From Jaisalmer On A Train Ride To Jodhpur From Delhi Cantt Railway Station

Postings From Jaisalmer On A Train Ride To Jodhpur From Delhi Cantt Railway Station

Leave Safdarjung Enclave Home At 1.10 PM On A Monday, the day the city is least prepared to take under its belt the weighty traffic with no thoughts on Canadian Town Inuvik. Go past Embassy Of Cambodia where there are guys in white and black attire perhaps waiting for visas to travel to Phnom Penh to gain. As usual there is back to back traffic on Delhi ring road, less seen in Tamil Nadu's Erode. Go past Bhikaji Cama Place. Go past GAIL Leading The Change To A Cleaner Future with those having withdrawn from Paris Accord in coming months may not be able to park themselves next to a yacht. Go past Sector 12 R K Puram. Go past South Moti Bagh (Mind You All These Places Are In The Heart Of Delhi). With Directions to South Campus (Delhi University), Satya Niketan, Nanakpura not on hold, and some in the city residing with the name Deora. Reach Dhaula Kuan at 1.25, and from here Jaipur 295 kms, Mumbai Expressway 40 kms with none appearing to be doofus. There are directions to Arjan Vihar, Janakpuri, Uttam Nagar, locales in West Delhi, with some maintaining contacts with fishing villages Koli. First red light spotted at 1.28, second 1.30, third as well at 1.30, and these lights not necessarily next to a place seeking ID. There are thoughts on Shimla, Mc Leodganj in Himachal Pradesh Province where people recall works of Keynes. Perhaps this Delhi Cantt area would require flyovers down the years given the insurmountable traffic bringing at this moment no cheers. Thoughts on how I gained rail ticket by visiting Sarojini Nagar Reservation Centre come to the fore with no uproar. 

Seeking Tatkal Ticket From Reservation Centre; Beginning Of Train Ride

Having reached reservation centre a day before train ride was to commence at eight in the morning, I was clueless on how entry would be made in the register deciding the first come first served basis for those including barristers. Once entry was made around 9.30 the rail personnel appeared verifying who all had come early and filled the requisite train forms for tatkal ticket, and expected to carry luggage in train minus trolley. Getting hold of my form, he asked for my mobile number. Having understood I was not carrying mobile, he said he would chip in with his number as OTP was required to be dispensed with to gain tatkal ticket, and this somewhat looking rigid. Around 9.55 I was at the counter hoping to get the ticket to State Of Rajasthan, with least likelihood there would be calls later from Turkmenistan. By the time the clock struck 10, Mr Jaideep the rail man was helpful enough to book the ticket. At 10.10 I got the Jodhpur ticket primarily in tatkal bracket with no pressing need to carry tennis racket. With these thoughts on Sarojini Nagar Rail Counter at the back of mind, the ride in Delhi Cantt was past Kirby Place with I reaching Delhi Cantt  Station after 1.38 in a nation that should slam the campaign of hate. The Jodhpur bound train (26482) leaves at 3.11, and no sooner it started to move it stopped. Uttar Union Mazdoor Union (North India Workers Forum) board could be seen with ease, and hope with Railway Board they are at peace. Flanked by series of flats, Palam comes at 3.19, and Shahbad Mohammadpur at 3.25. Few moments later Bijwasan followed by Gurgaon, and the latter should witness no water supply erosion. High rise flats in Gurgaon poles apart, and hope the residents have sweet time and not tied in day to day knot. M2K Olive Greens, Pareena flats can be sighted, and hope here confessions at some point of time candid. Here thoughts on Air Deccan Flight I took from Madras (Now Chennai) in March 2005 after returning from Tirumala, and there was no monopoly of sorts, and govt during that time not tied in blackmailing plans-cum-plots.

Unscheduled Stoppage At Garhi Harsaru

Locomotive of GEMA positioned at Garhi Harsaru station. The unscheduled stoppage at Garhi Harsaru for unknown reasons despite students taking tuition. Here thoughts on Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu Province) and West Bengal, and some in these sections hope to reap a rich haul. After Ichhapuri station there is sighting of second rail track reminding some guys railways have the day to day running knack. Thoughts here on Ajmer Dargah as well which I visit with none to come across as a rebel. Pansari cha (tea) instant premix offered as part of snacks is too sweet, let it be moderate irrespective of train fleet. Annoucement onboard of train passing through neutral section, there would be temporary suspension of overhead electric supply, with no thoughts on Ericsson. Ajaraka comes at 4.40, Harsauli at 4.55. Sighting of Aravallis after 4.55, here the authorities better watch out for illegal mining, and those doing so after dining. 

Reaching Alwar, Reaching Jaipur, Jodhpur; Train To Jodhpur Way Back In 1977-78

Alwar comes at 5.12, Bandikui at 5.48. Dausa at 6.05. The convoy stopped at Jatwara for no reasons. Thoughts on SVBC (Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel) and Tirumala In Andhra Pradesh Province where people are blessed with peace innings. The train commute to Jaipur from Delhi Cantt can be done done under three hours as the convoy was stopping after every 15 to 20 minutes chase thereby hitting the base. And here it took four hours with enough moments of pause. The dinner from Base Kitchen Jaipur is piping hot, and something to relish in a nation that has hamlets going by the name Oasis. With series of underpasses right after Ajaraka Station, it is to the benefit of commuters who gain lessons on weather from day tutors. After Jaipur Phulera comes at 8, Makrana 8.40, Degana Junction 9.12 with enough water in the well. Train personnel Mr Gagan from A S Sales helpful enough in getting the tea as sitting for straight eight hours can be no fun which most agree. Meet onboard Mr Gautam Jain settled in Jodhpur with his son working as CA in Pune getting clients even from distant Hapur. Mr Gautam Jain used to take train from Old Delhi Station in 1977-78 which used to leave at 6.30 PM with fare in 8 reservation coaches at Rs 100, and there were 12 unreserved coaches whose passengers were expected to reside after reaching their destinations in varied lodges. The train would reach Jodhpur the next day at 6.30 in the morning with none yawning. Meet as well Mr Paras Yadav having gained B Tech degree from IIT Jammu and working for PIDILITE Fevicol in Jodhpur. Perhaps toying with the idea to write CAT (Common Admission Test) for pursuing MBA in Indian Institutes Of Management (IIMs) at a time when the nation is seeking a drive to keep space safe for pedestrian movement. Pedestrians have a right to take a march out if space meant for them is encroached, and from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer none should poach.

This ride consuming all of eight hours was meant to reach a destination known for tourist attractions with visitors coming in multiple and working for brand Apple. This ride came on a day when travellers across length and breadth heaved a sigh of relief with no untoward movement seen in Sir Creek.
