IMpressions of a city
Seeking to secure my base in the national capital, i decided to reach out to Nizamuddin Station the other day. It was a day when post infusion of energy drinks made possile by intrusive character of repeatedly appearing in tv and print saw commoner like me take a bus from Jhandu Singh Marg. It was at Medical which is witness to appearance of all shape-and-size vehicle that i could summon the courage to finaly take a bus that would take me to Sarai Kale Khan. INstead of turning left it headed towards Noida and i deboarded in time to take a third public transport that took me to Sarai Kale Khan to have the desired Railway Station blast.
With Sarai Kale Khan bus depot playng host to buses from different destinations i could sight among them one bus heading twards Taj Depot in UP. THe walk towards the railway station mirrored the little and yet noticeable city life where cheek by jowl premises have an infusive life of their own.
With platform ticket in hand i was amidst a tribe split among those out to board trains and those who deboarded. PLatform 1 saw senior station manager office; a new structure probably replacing a food joint. At the reservation building those willing to revolt was no less as the crowd assembled there to seek tickets had gone past the sheltered building and storing every possibility to hit the road. With no declaration hoarding that spelled the trains that originated and enlightened from Nizamuddin the best course was to leave the reservation blues for other day.
Out again amidtst the commuting traffic i boarded one blueline which had no back support to a seat i wished to occupy. One heavy man was seen in ruminating mood on a seat with enough backsupport and later the discovery doled out details of he being the blueline driver. Left the blueline bus and took the favourite DTC only to be told the one going in the vicinity of munirka would be 417.
Post 417 boarding and a seat secured the bus was running to its capacity as it left the Nizamuddin area. Perhaps the stretch through Geetanjali Marg was time-cosuming as unsettled roads settled to a reality where vehicles of different hues skirt different challenges to rediscover themselves. On hoarding read "PG Accommodation for those willing to be boys, PG Accommodation for those willing to be girls". Others had signboard on beauty salon and gym. None could find them tempting enough to step inside as more were finding it a big lure to board a bus. Goverment Buses built on a premise that people with different and dissecting mental faculties board them have these clinically clutter-free instructions on seats meant for ladies and aged and the bus movement is clinically tied to the doors remaining shut.
AS the bus went past Qutab Minar i, for one, began to believe the Qutab's ascendancy would accentuate my link to munirka. INstead of munirka i was in mehrauli and this was more to do with not seeking a second opinion on 417.

Weeks gone by (March4-10; March 11-17)
Weeks gone by (March4-10; March 11-17)
Given the uncertainty that hung over the poll outcome - five states had expressed the desire to orderly host polls to their running-out-of-fuel assemblies - the outcome was overwhelming enough in the State of Uttar Pradesh for one party to outsmart overexposed opponents who were omnipotent till a point the evms showed the willingness to be elaborately explained. THe bickering post poll outcome was fewer as parties after parties took stock of the defused situation. As one party, whose tally showed 22+6 in its kitty, was naughty enough to take stock of the stalking rivalries among its party members which nearly kept them away from total decimation and other desired fame.
AS had been customary the ageing and ruptured leaders gathered in the heart of the Capital and tried to gauge the factors that didn't bring out the anticipated decimation. Post Gup shup and talk grind, the leaders had secured enough goading ammunition to appear in tv theatres and elaborately exchange ideas and fascination they had for leaders of other parties.
What the Grand Odds-stacked Party could arrive at was at the finding that had it not been for stalking rivalries among its cadres, the improvement could well have been in double digits even if that meant not going past teen figures. Once the party ticket and those who successfully ensnared them had been declared, those who failed to secure them made a declaration that their followers would be stalking those who stalled their efforts to flaunt the party ticket boast. IN a retributive gesture, their followers who were supposed to function as campaign functionaries, set out to stalk movements of ticket-secured entities thereby lending more support to stalking base than spreading a good word about a leader who had refused to be a rage.
Stalking did not abate on the polling day itself as on the day the counting was to commence the stalkers were in the vicinity of booths with their tools to hand out minute description on all those who dared to vote for those who secured party nomination gainst their wish. THat was the sum and substance of taking stock of the stalking trait one party had been subjected to. Mind you more such taking stalk stock is in the pipeline if they don't show spine against their allies who force them to be kind.
Apart from EVMs elaborate functioning that the weeks gone by elaborately explained, the past two weeks saw the holi holes in the pockets of those who were holding on to the fort despite knowing well such celebrations not always gell. Smashed and smeared faces were before us suggesting the suggestive remedies they would have to apply to get past holi cry. As some observers clinically clever enough to observe thundered that holi clebrations could have been muted as two principal political parties had ceased to be UP-Prized entities.
THe two weeks were witness to presentation of railway and general budgets, with the protagonist of one refusing to prostrate before WB behemoth Gate and let nuisance get better of polity. THough things have defused for now, it was not easy to disassociate the tendency of debate creators to hone their debating skills on a fare that leasts hurt them in any sphere.

Those entitled for unemployment allowance of Rs 1000
Those entitled for unemployment allowance of Rs 1000
As per party manifesto of a political force, unemployment allowance of Rs 1000 would be provided to those who have been sizeably deprived from getting gainfully employment. The list of those who are entitled for this allowance has to be exhaustive enough to exhaust any chance of any new dole seeker staging a right to include. To prevent the inevitable, the list on those who have a right to unemployment allowance could be sizeably elaborative.
Besides those who are not employed, the list could include those who wish to get employed and yet don't find offers tempting enough to get their skills deployed. Second those who were employed at some point of time and yet had to reach a stage of unemployment due to their sizeable bum.
Third those who never wished to be employed and nor willed to enshrine in salary-cry need to be handed out these sizeable inducements. Fourth those who wish to be employed but don't have the necessary will to give a try. Fifth those who have a wish and will and yet their near and never seen ones are not giving them approval and this is leading them to seasonal fear.
Finally the list could include those who are gainfully employed as seen through the prism of those who dared to employ them and yet the employees do not see it as a case of gainful employment as the numbers of hours s/he work and the numbers of hours s/he shirks are not commensurate to the compensation tag they wear.

Is Park Street in DElhi different from Park Street in Kolkata?
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".
