Hoardings in a city that hoisted you on a new level
Some of the hoardings/gate plates i came across the city i reside in showed the smooth cruise we have been through.
-No Parking here; tyres would be deflated and sold to customers not known to you.
- No Parking ; No Barking
- Park and ride followed by Park and bite. Here the import of the inflationary hoarding is the need to park your personal transport in which you arrived with all your personal belongings, tools of succession included, and once having parked the car you have the privilege of biting all those who have had the temerity to park themselves and their machines next to you.
- Park and preserve yourself. Having been dethroned from your empires the govt of the day and the season is careful known to ensure that you don't throw yourself as a civil volunteer and better preserve yourself in known accomplished quarters of the city, most popularly known as public convenience stores where release and relieve is the order of the day.
- Don't throw your garbage here; you are at liberty to throw yourself.
- Don't drink and desire. Because once you are drunk the aspirational ammunition that you flow with has few parallels. Govt of the day and season comes out with different range of advisories on the quantum of drinks one should take and the time of the day when actually some rules can be relaxed and you have the freedom to showcase the sword with which you want to axe.
- Spitting is prohibited has taken the form of splitting is prohibited. As you enter a metro coach the one with which you were destined to complete the journey has an entire makeover as the one with whom you depart from metro is entirely a different beast.
As some of these announcements visible from the rooftops of a revolving restaurant resolved the desire of a commoner to sight more such alarming kites, the new and never-seen before declaration could well be on oil and clone. BEcause if the battle against oil has been won and there are more clones than one then all talks on scarcity and sanctity would be truly secured.
Some probable hoardings for future:
-Drive at a speed desired by you as this freedom has been curbed at home and at place of work where you can hardly demonstrate your form.
- Driving at breakneck speed would be welcome as roads belong to your father and sons.
- Drive away your blues by dislodging all those who tried to dethrone you and here the ample supply of goons would be provided at a discount for amplifying your presence.

Writing expedition
It is the litany of complaints that has led to letter-writing expedition. In the National capital where national civil volunteers came to collect clutter and converse, there were plethora of letters that remained undiscovered for long. One such letter which saw the light of the day and tubelight of the night was on a sector on which barely few had spoken.
The letter addressed to a commoner stated the state of preparedness of indian railways. Coming close on the heels of preparedness of india roadways and rashdrivers, this report tried to resurrect the hope that indian railways is truly and temperamentally strong enough to transport any load from any part of the country.
Though 97 per cent of tracks are solid enough to store and secure the passenger movement, enough thought needs to be given before more rails are run with unforeseen ton. No new acquisitions have been made over the years, the letter pointed out, highlighting the department can't be an artful dodger for long.
State of preparedness of indian railways coupled with state of mental health of those taking airways has been doing the rounds for some time. And it is high time before state of the mental preparedness/illpreparedness is spelt out.

Work from home; roam in rome. As i came across this tribe of workaholics through a pamphlet, what was not known was the comfort of working and washing and that too from home front. Another message at a bus stop read earn extra for extraneous considerations.
The third went on travel package which would cull two adults and two children for one among 49 destinations in india and if not that one among 11 abroad for three nights and four days (Sleep Guaranteed). Inclusive was meal coupon of rs 1000 and all coming at never-noted-before offer of rs 6850. Before i could read the fineprint which was finetuned to fit the budget of the future, i was told to not get swayed and seducted as there are other seductive anomalies around.

When the rancour for mid-term polls was laid to rest
When the rancour for mid-term polls was laid to rest
It was the appropriate nature of the appropriate Commander in Chief to step out of the country and engage in pow-wow on a nuclear summit in Seoul. The departure and arrival in Seoul was meant to disengage those who had been clamouring for a mid-term harakiri not realising that the current Lok Sabha term was destined to distress itself on and only in May 2014.
As the Commander set aboard Air India there were journos and those attempting to take the final leap in that realisation. In mid air with no scuffle reported among journos and jet caretakers, there were least meddling by day and night mavericks and here the commander spoke from his heart on the meteoric rise he has had since he took a plunge into politics and the meteoric sentiment that would guide the present Lok Sabha till May 2014. At his best the Commander spoke and those in rapt attention were enlightened and thereby deemed fit to put the mid term polls clamour as a chapter that needed to be closed. Amidst these interactions and with no fair degree of insinuations, the attendees knew that any spiel they try to give to mid term rupture would eventually rip them apart.
So as entitled members of Commander's entourage entered the Seoul sphere they were all eyes and ears to the nuclear set of ambitions that some nations possess and here nuclear deliberations were all about deviations some seek and those having sought the same failed to release the requisite reverberations. The Seoul-Soothing had the desired effect as it empowered the assembled journos to assemble the fractured mental faculties and rise to the occasion to occasionally blast those who seek mid term woes.
As against this the journos who failed to assemble in SEoul and who still had the firepower to not let mid term poll lose its shine and appear lull assured themselves that there won't be dearth of enterprising political pundits who would on a repeated basis resort to the imminent threat the current lok sabha had to its longevity. But they too in the heart of hearts believed that this bunkum from political class was meant to keep spiritually-cum-spirited strong enough to perform for the next round. If one principal political party foresaw mid term polls that was entirely designed to keep hopes afloat that given the 40-odd assembly seats they secured in UP their cadres and cadres-turned-creators should at the most aim at that and nothing beyond. As for the annihilator who annihilated all but some in UP, their logic was that their cadres and conveyors need to keep their sentiments high and not wait for long before they are asked to exercise their muscular form.
So as all had logic to apply and desist on mid term cry, equally logical was the return of Commander from Seoul along with journos who had been enlightened enough to speak as and when they could lay hands to an appealing brief. On return to New Delhi the assembled journos of Seoul and those who had assembled in Delhi hugged each other for a period not known to mankind and post separation the assembled journos lifted from Seoul for New Delhi again assembled on hearing that National Capital was in acute shortage of water and the one meant to wash their inner wear. Not known that their assembly in Seoul could lead to long awaited repair of water pipes and that too for days when they decided to assemble away from home shores. So was the perpetual water woes in national capital enough ammunition to goad political creations to seek another mid term pacification. Probably water woes in capital and beyond could lead to realisation of mid term blues if all are short of clues.
