Is Park Street in DElhi different from Park Street in Kolkata?
THe Park Street in National Capital is in the vicinity of Talkatora Garden. THe bus stop has been marked Talkatora Stadium and adjacent to that is Park Street Central SEcretariat Club. Further on the road is Shankar road and on the right is Mandir Marg.
The Park Street which i discovered few days ago is entirely different from the Park Street in Kolkata. For one, the discovered dot in New Delhi is not broad enough. Perhaps for a few government accommodations and other such structures including the behemoth Talkatora Stadium nothing more is illustrative about it. THere could be other milestones which one may not be aware. The Park Street in Kolkata is synonymous with Metro Station as half of the commuting traffic takes the metro. THe doors of the metro here and here alone open on the opposite side as against all other stations in the same direction. From Park Street neither Esplanade and nor Bhowanipore is far.
As i took a bus the other day from INA, there was this gentleman probably going to office he cared. The gentleman was snoring, strong enough to make others get on his trail. For the period i could occupy the seat of DTC, he snored with least signs of shiver and fever. He went beyond the stop i deboarded probably to do with the snoring snow he was under which would fail to accentuate once he reached his office gate.
I got down in nick of time to take 610 for onward journey. THe driver careful enough to stop when i flagged and this showed the new understandable breed that had taken over and by no means brat.
Against this the day to get the wall clock repaired was an exercise in waiting as the shops i visited either had no personnel or if some had they had their shutters down . Back again to INA, i came across different hoardings. Some read : Aage rasta bandh hai", "Guide map for residential flats"
One elaborative hoarding was on how the so-called ailments could see correctional course if one had been kind enough to read the fine print. It read: "Get cure to your ailments"; "clear all the existing and existential myths"; "attain important goals in life" and rounding this piece of creation with "great success in life and money attraction".

AS i go past a bus shelter
AS i go past a bus shelter
As i go past a bus shelter to look for other modes of transport that could transport me to my destination, i spot one bus heading towards central sectt., overflowing with passengers who wish to report for work after having seen politicos of all possibilities who shake and shirk. The bus is of an older make from a DTC depot strong enough to carry load for enlightened souls in a manner they desire their life to flow.
With no will to wilt under pressure my wait comes to a premature end as i board a blueline bus long after they lost their fame. Me or those seated in the bus showing no urgency to reach the destinations where no one would be tempted to treat as beast, the blueline boarding is by no means meant to fight away our blues.
Minutes later i deboard and try to distinguish the crowd tempting enough to give traffic rules a big shout. Walk past a boundary wall which suggests that it has been raised with MP Local Area DEvelopment Scheme Lot, there are other boundary walls i come across on the way and here pedestrians are positive enough to spray them with their liquid craze. Sprinkling such walls is their desire they hold ever since they leave their home to conceive a day where they could freely roam.
Further on the way i spot 511A and 448A buses goaded enough to carry guided elements. And few minutes later i reach a new cyber den where the xerox of the voter card breaks into two with nothing much to serve as a clue. Here in the cyber den different elements with different degree to which they could apply their mind enter and exit still primarily built with people quite serious with their career and the life getting a better view. One entity enters holding hope that he could get a railway general ticket from here and that brings how enlightened this soul has been with his life tales that he never shared. Can one get a general ticket from a cyber den? THat shows the generosity of a cyberwallah to generalise a cyber place from where ticket of all hues could be dished and shaped.
As i write this i a reminded of the generosity of tvwallahs who were clued to their poll agenda the other day and throwing caution to the wind by not deliberating debating on the quake that shook the national capital region and its periphery. Not a word on poll vaulted curd day was spoken on earthquake perhaps leaving commoners to imagine that electoral shake is all that matters. THis electoral shake build against a war chest that few warriors can wage.

The week gone by (Feb 26th to March 3)
The week gone by (Feb 26th to March 3)
As i fiddle with the mouse to lay the roadmap for the prevailing week, it is not just the mouse that is irritating; even the keys seem to have failed to go past a state of disorder. THis disorder is definitely different from the spate of disorders that media across electronic to be followed by those on print tonic is motivated to manufacture on the electoral battle that won't have strong electoral dividends for one party and those defined as their gems.
As a result to essay the week gone by i assess my possibility of possessing a new workstation with enough workaholics around. All talks the previous week on bearing the assembly polls would have on commoners and those released from conditioning camps was nothing more than a hogwash and in order to hog the limelight the anchors and anchors-turned demonstrators anchored their ship on 100 hours of non-stop notings on a poll that began in January followed by February and with results likely to throw enough March Query. Polls were supposed to have least bearing on Indianites what to talk about the UPites.
It was a week when whispers in the corridors of power were constructive enough to suggest the suggestive remedies that needed to be dished out for those afflicted with tv ailments that were antagonising enough and repeatitive rusty to talk about those on poll firmament as if all other pavements had been cleared of litter and lust. A week when poll pundits were sensible enough to sensitise the surmountable public that though opinion polls had been barred there was nothing stopping the emergence of exit polls where those who exited from polling booth were candid enough to give their views to the electronic crew. The voluble public would be commended for committing themselves to a poll process that was commensurate with the agenda of ensuring the rise of the political class and decimation of so-called civil reps who not long ago desired to have yearly blast.
It was a week when oldies made the electronic beat with odds stacked heavily against them on the nature of manmade mantra2012 they were yelling with least recognition that stable and secure were the twin strengths of a govt in its second and final layer. Aberrations were not strong enough to raise upheaval and 2014 was all set for parliamentary struggle.
A week when Cricksri truly deserved to be in the finals of CB series for their true conduct and content. A week when hockey hoist was much desired funda and there won't be any small congregation at any of its adda.
A week when growth guerrillas for umpteen time goaded the public to gloat over the expansive growth trajectory that was about to come but few stood convinced by this theory.
A week which not for the final time showed the clutter the tv hosts create by summoning the courage to summon those to their tv studios for endless and enduringly agitative debates on polls ; coverage akin to civil reps holding the nation to ransom and yet cameras failing to cover other feats/feasts of notable ammunition.

Upping the UP Ante has no durability
Upping the UP Ante has no durability
Perhaps in the liberalised economic sphere it is the political theatre that is yet to come to grip with liberal ideas. THe state of UP roots for an upheaval that few states can match in the run up to polls ; proximity to the National Capital alone can't figure out the procrastinated political churn.
Against the Parliamentary polls the stand alone advantage that a State Assembly poll may flaunt gets subsumed by the fact that there are over 500 seats up for grabs. In the assembly polls that are underway it seems as if UP alone would shed light on aspirational and assimilation qualities of a politico as others in resurgent mode in other states revvying to raise their benchmark have least reverberation.
Till the '90s one could understand the fascination for UP and those upping the UPheaval Quotient as those destined to be king or with king clink had their dimensional dexterity drawn from this state. If Andhra ascension saw the first clear break from UP stake, the aberration and profound to say the least was with a least defined tenure by those from South of Vindhyas and other states who hopped on to the bandwagon. This was followed by the state again tasked to send its rocksolid Lucknow Lever to the helm. Later the lever and leeway the state could provide withered away and after tons of third front tired experiments, those with their names registered in other states took the throne.
With 85 parliamentary seats and 403 assembly seats the gargantuan scale on which the operational character of politicos gets illustrated is no misnomer. Chieftains have come and floundered amidst their feat to complete innings. Some have continued on the back of support emerging from nowhere and some have raised their battle all alone. The second rung leadership and the second thoughts some among them have that if country's destiny is to be rid of debilitating agendas, then what better way than let the UP Upheaval run its full course. For one the non stop 100 hours honours for politicos and their prevarication, largely emerging from UP den, has least level of resistance as these very malfunctioning and yet manly enough to occupy seats for mauling those who had the mandate to set the manmade 2012 poll meter. Grand could be the coverage but there is nothing grandeur about it.
Prudent would be between six months and one year down the line, the electronically enshrined guardians selected 100-odd constituencies at random and amidst all constraints conceived a ground report on the candidate who had the final poll thunder and how his/her report card read. Purge of the politico elected and purge of such men from electoral arena could well be the enduring and running poll. Against this the Clamour for exit and by no means clinically prepared poll is illustration of the least illustrative ideas they brim. Such debates of dissension and dimension have enough oldies with enough odds stacked against them.
Tomorrow UP shrill campaign would wither away as another state would join the fray and again other set of debaters would join the chorus amidst the churn they could not cure.

Summer specials and bedbugs
With proliferation of ads on summer special trains to run during the period the summer is to last, these trains of no truncated capacity would be a trendsetter for the truckload they wish to carry and create an enabling environment for entities desiring to conceive.
Railways across country is known for its fascination for carrying the destined passengers to their destinations and yet not get puzzled by rotational number of those who on rotation resolutely explore the benefits of travelling on board when there is enough commotion. Not to talk of commotion on board but the one appearing as no less than a siege at workstation or the one they believed had conducive conditions and they could breeze.
It has been ages since railways raised to the occasion to occasionally transport those who wished to relocate to a new destination for a period the summer specials were on and in anticipation that they were to wither away these relocated entities withheld their temptation to carry on and henceforth decided to descend to their place of origination.That way the summer specials and the simmering discontent summarised the tales of travelling public.
Elaborating on the elaborate nature of railways to raise summer specials is the need to give a break to those who desire to part with friend-turned-foes who have foisted an agenda of rotational retribution and rage. There are others who seek refuge for the constant cruise the bedbugs seek and here availing the railway services is the order of the day.But there aren't inbuilt guarantess to suggest that railway and its services won't be deprived of bedbugs who occasionally get tempted enough to try new locales.
If an assurance of assimilation to the coaches minus bedbugs are handed out, the rush to these summer specials would be rejuvenating to a point where those who on earlier occasions had given in to the might of bedbugs would be trendy enough to give barrage of hugs. It is all about hugging and those who dare to do it even when separation is their fate.
