The Ride To Bengaluru And Beyond

The Ride To Bengaluru And Beyond. Much of April Session was on a discovery trail to find out the exact momentum I could gain to reach ANJANADRI Betta (birth place of Lord Hanuman). As I left Safdarjung Enclave home on a Tuesday the sighting of bumper to bumper vehicles made one wonder what would be shape of traffic 20 years down the line. There were near misses on Electric Vehicles (EVs) and it would take at least 10 years to see them play to a new tune. While stuck in traffic snarl the thoughts were on Bhagalpur Katarni Chura and if one had this with curd it could be soft on stomach. The point at which there were traffic imponderables that very section may have housed lush landscapes 200 years ago. Thoughts were as well on Bengaluru Anand Rao Circle and milk flow from a vendor that was high on nutrients. As one entered Wing 1D of Delhi Airport the sighting of premium bus lanes may not dilute weird response from onlookers who give thumbs down to VIP Culture. Delhi is home to VIPs who skip taking ride in EVs. Security personnel (CISF) Mr Sayan K R Ray seem to be a content person with no airs. Met an aged couple from Tibet settled in and around Hubli for over 50 years. Here thoughts were on Gujarat places I have visited and the sense I could make of people residing there. Came across Security Personnel Mr Maidul Ali prior to boarding the aircraft. The interaction with a student pursuing BSc Economics from Shiv Nadar University revealed if intake of students is increased by a mammoth proportion the quality of education disbursed would look dishevelled and disproportionate. The liftoff was around 2.15 with the machine hobbling in the air on occasions and touchdown a little before 5 PM with an urgency to collect the baggage and leave for Kempegowda Bus Point. The Ride in the bus symbolised that on Indian roads if travelling back and forth to airport can test your patience and make you sit up and take note of the series of flyovers that have not cemented to reality in prescribed time. By the time I made entry to Bengaluru's Anand Rao Circle it was well past 7 PM and I made a dash to Vasuda Residency with a prayer that stay be minus hiccups. A little after 2PM the next day I left Bengaluru with weather where there were ample rains and and ample gains. Reaching Hospet Outer and then taking auto ride (EV) to Anegundi consumed no less than eight hours and by the time I was in Vaibhava Guest House it was almost 11PM. I was in pursuit of marking attendance at ANJANADRI Betta in Anjanadri Hill and next morning I set on a course cruising with the advantage of clean air and next to nil traffic on road.

STAY AT DELHI CANTT RAILWAY STATION AND MAKING MENTAL NOTE OF TRAIN MOVEMENTS. While walking towards Sector 12 R K Puram in New Delhi went past Delhi's first World Trade Centre witnessing construction at Nairoji Nagar. Though this endeavour would provide employment to a large numbers the day the construction is complete and the said infrastructure is ready for roll out it would have to grapple with occupancy issues. While walking further one could spot Green Energy is the future hoarding at the bus stand. Join the revolution. ElectriVa. Electric Vehicle Charging Station powered with solar. This is a commendable move. At Delhi Cantt RAILWAY Station there were spate of announcements for different sets of trains. Delhi Sarairohilla Bandra Garib Rath which left Sarairohilla at 8.20 am and later left Delhi Cantt at 9.17 am was expected to reach Bandra in Mumbai in Maharashtra State in India around 7 am the next day. Ashram Express/Mandore Express stationed on platform 2 with the number of passengers who deboard huge. Train number 12985 from Jaipur to Sarairohilla running on time. Train number 22451 from Bandra to Chandigarh arriving on PF 2 at 10.25. Train number 04436 from Meerut to Rewari running on time. TRAIN number 12371 from Howrah to Bikaner running on time.

Ad on be a responsible citizen. Do not waste water. Ad on accept sweet greetings. But do not accept sweet treats. Ad on do not try boarding/deboarding a moving TRAIN. At 10.16 Meerut cantt Rewari Special TRAIN arrives on PF 1 leaves at 10.18. At 10.16 Jaipur Sarairohilla TRAIN arrives on PF 2 with a large number of passengers deboarding. At 10.27 freight train can be seen stopping and moving later. The stay at Delhi Cantt was for over an hour. Later took orange colour bus for Dhaula kuan,Reach home from Dhaula kuan by auto with automan Mr Dinesh at the helm. These visits are primarily meant to escape wrath of goon driver Rahul and terror that emanates from A1/255. A day later visited HAZRAT NIZAMUDDIN STATION with clear intent to speak to people at large who despite hardships radiate bonhomie of high scale. These visits are mandatory as they bring into focus the torture faced by common man like us and how to get out of this torture smeared colony lane landscape.
