Visiting Chhatarpur In New Delhi In India

Visiting Chhatarpur In New Delhi In India 

It was on a Wednesday that I decided to visit Chhatarpur in New Delhi with the aim to put in a prayer or two at Goddess Katyayani Temple and scan the surroundings in and around. Left home at 9.15 am with the chance to meet Pigeon Feeder Mr Surinder. Jama Masjid is the largest mosque is what I gather at bus stand hoarding in Nauroji Nagar in New Delhi. Sight DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) bus number 567 going to Kamruddin Nagar, bus number 578 going to Najafgarh, bus number 518 going to Hazrat Nizamuddin Station. As I walk on Rajmata Vijayraje Scindia Marg/Ring Road Sarojini Nagar Market Marg the tall and robust trees are a delight and hope they stay there for decades/centuries. I go past Water Boosting Station Sarojini Nagar. Meet Coconut seller Mr Govind who is drenched in sweat. A query on how much he is able to earn elicits response that on occasions it swells and on occasions dips. 

Meet automan Mr Ramesh Chand, meet bag seller Mr Ram Khelawan. Sight bus number 544 going to Badarpur Border. Come across Zepto 10 minutes Grocery Delivery Ad on an auto. From Pilanji Village automan Mr Satish takes me to INA Metro Station in New Delhi. I am in INA  Metro Station at 9.52 am. At the metro station Mr Sher Singh does frisking. Board metro headed towards Chhatarpur at 9.57 am. I make mental note of Delhi Metro's Expansion which includes Rapid Metro, Magenta Line, Pink Line, Violet Line, Blue Line, Red Line and Airport Express Line. Reach Chhatarpur at 10.12 am. I can see scores of vendors making lassi (buttermilk). As I descend stairs and walk towards Goddess Katyayani Temple I go past Sai Temple and Lord Hanuman Tall Statue. Shoe keeper Mr Kundan Rathore keeps shoes and after washing hands I proceed to temple. 

In Sanctum Sanctorum In Goddess Katyayani Temple In Chhatarpur In New Delhi

At the sanctum sanctorum housing Goddess Katyayani the priest and other guy are in commotion of sorts with no thought that some devotee has come and they should maintain decorum and silence. Despite this predicament  I stay for a  minute or two before Katyayani Ma (Goddess Katyayani) and leave the sanctum sanctorum blessed. Thereafter I am out of temple.  Soon after I start walking towards Chhatarpur Village with expressive intent that I would have black tea. Fruit Vendor Mr Mishra gives me banana. Queries to different tea vendors on black tea shows that they won't be in a position to dish out the same. I hail auto driven by Mr Ravi and reach Chhatarpur Metro Station roundabout. Here two sweets shops going by the names Bikaner Sweets and Aggarwal Sweets are in no mood to oblige me. With no success in black tea I board metro towards MG (Mehrauli Gurgaon) Road in New Delhi. Deboarding in MG Road when it is sensationally hot and here I can't spot any tea vendor. Automan Mr Santosh Yadav takes me to a place where there could be probability of black tea. But none of that is visible. I hail another auto driven by Mr Rajesh Kumar and head towards IFFCO Chowk Metro Station. With no success in black tea here as well I am too tired to venture further. I board Metro from IFFCO Chowk and deboard at Green Park Metro Station. I take cool drink coming in 200 ml from Jain's Special Dahi Balle outlet. I hail auto driven by Mr Chand and reach Safdarjung Enclave home well after 12.20 pm.

Better To Have Buttermilk In Summers

In Summers it is better to have buttermilk as they have next to nil calories (salted one would be preferred) than having cold drinks. Buttermilk from Nehru Place in New Delhi I haven't had for years and hope to have salted buttermilk some day. That Wednesday the visit to Goddess Katyayani Temple was smooth and I was visiting this temple after more than two-and-a half year hiatus. Goddess Katyayani like Vaishnodevi in Vaishnodevi Temple in Jammu And Kashmir State in India raises the bar on how to be benevolent and treat people coming from different religious backgrounds with respect. That Wednesday with no success on black tea it somewhat mirrored the mood swings the vendors have and some can't be blamed for that as it was too hot to step out. That Wednesday the visit to Goddess Katyayani Temple was something to brood and rejoice. Are they serving cool drinks in and around Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai in Tamil Nadu State In India? 

The Supreme Court's ruling that no slums housing the poor would be demolished in Sarojini Nagar in New Delhi should be praised. If those governing the country can't rehabilitate the poor these so called leaders have no right to demolish the slums. 

I sometimes believe that how people take flights to different destinations in this scorching summer. I am finding difficult to do stories as those in khaki have fiddled with net connection.

Sunil Kumar Mishra (Sunil Mama) (Maternal Uncle) From Balua Bazar In Bihar State In India Whom We Knew.

Sunil Kumar Mishra (Sunil Mama) (Maternal Uncle) From Balua Bazar In Bihar State In India Whom We Knew. Born and brought up in Balua Bazar in Supaul District in Bihar State in India, Sunil Kumar Mishra aka Sunil Mama traversed a path which had its share of ups and downs. He was My Mummy's younger brother. My Mummy Hemlata Rajhans was pursuing studies from Banasthali Vidyapith in Rajasthan State in India when he was born on October 2,1956. My Mummy was thrilled to see him when she reached Balua Bazar from Banasthali Vidyapith. Having done schooling from Vikas Vidyalaya in Bihar and higher studies from Modinagar in Uttar Pradesh State in India, his business foray was a success given his business acumen and the high bar he set for himself. He was groomed to initiate innings in business as his ancestors had replenished skills in the same field with tightrope acumen. He learnt a lot from his father Kamal Narayan Mishra whose business forays were beyond the State of Bihar. When Sunil Mama was pursuing studies from Modinagar he would often visit us when we were in Old Rajinder Nagar in Delhi. When we shifted our residence to Safdarjung Enclave NEW DELHI in 1977 Sunil Mama made it a point to visit us quite often. That was the time when Shiv Shankar Rajhans Uncle(Bhagalpur,Sultanganj), Pramila Jha didi(Canada), Karuna Shankar Rajhans Uncle, Gyan Shankar Rajhans Uncle (Canada) and their family members visits to Delhi we cherished. There were occasions in early '80s when I would troop out of house and my mummy would send Sunil Mama to trace me. Those were simple days with most leading a dignified life with aspirations that maintained/ensured connect with relations every passing week. That was the time when my grandmother Kiranmai Rajhans in Sultanganj asked my Father to bring Munna alias Shambhu Nath Jha to Delhi and get him settled. My father left no stone unturned to see Munna learnt the tricks of staying in a big city. With support coming from my Father munna changed jobs and was able to proceed with stable source of income. In April 1984 Sunil Mama got married and our entire family was in Balua Bazar. Those days we relished staying in Balua Bazar for the very fact that humogonous surroundings coaxed us to stay longer. The Green Gateways was the added comfort.To this date the green surroundings entice you. Sunil mama got married to Nibha and was blessed with daughter Ruchi and son Shivam. Sunil mama's business had hit a new high in the '80s and he dwelt in happiness for the returns that it invoked. His younger brother Govind Mishra (Govind Mama) after completing graduation from Kirori Mal College in Delhi University went to Bihar and stayed in his Patna residence in Ganga Tower to pursue MBA. Later Govind Mama joined him in his business in Ranchi. In '87 May we visited Bihar as Karuna Uncle's eldest daughter Baby was to get married and Sunil Mama came to receive us at the station. We stayed in Bihar for over five days and Sunil Mama making it sure we were at ease. Eighties and '90s were the times when his business expanded to Deogarh in undivided Bihar and to Himachal Pradesh as well. In 1995 his brother Pramil Mishra (Pramil Mama) came to Delhi from Bihar to undergo training in advertising to secure a new job and Sunil Mama arranged his flight journey back and forth. I can still remember that he came in January 1996 to New Delhi to seek health advice and he stayed at our place. Like my Father Gouri Shankar Rajhans who provided employment to many from Bihar and beyond Sunil Mama as well was committed to see employment opportunities reach vast sections of people. His visits to Delhi were not few and far in the '90s and as he came face to face with myriad of challenges his visits to Delhi scaled down. In 2000 and beyond the Grow More Venture was no smooth cruise and he began to face challenges from unknown quarters. He was determined to nip in the bud these set of challenges and on occasions he had his share of success. His visits to KOLKATA right from '80s to 2000 and beyond were innumerable. Sometime after 2000 he visited Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh State in India and given the rush he was not able to sight the Lord in the sanctum sanctorum. Given the twists and turns his business took in the latter half of 2010 and beyond he began to stay put in Patna with occasional trips to ancestors place in Balua Bazar. He would be remembered for relentless effort to see his business going and to stay rock solid in uncertain times. He helped many in distress and when difficult times descended he waged the battle alone. He was a fighter and would be remembered for the relief that he gave to scores of people.

VISITING HAZRAT NIZAMUDDIN RAILWAY STATION IN NEW DELHI

VISITING HAZRAT NIZAMUDDIN RAILWAY STATION IN NEW DELHI

Left home at 8.55am. Meet pigeon feeder Mr Surinder. Meet Mr Mannu and Mr Santosh Kumar Verma in Ring Road Market Sarojini Nagar. The subway to this market opens at 6 am and closes at 10 pm. Take soap from A One Centre Shop. The boy dispensing soap is Mr Ayush. The road to Sarojini Nagar market is lined with trees on either side. HOPE THESE TREES ARE NOT UPTOOTED AS THEY CLEARLY DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN FAULTY POLICIES LEADING TO ASSAULT ON NATURE AND VISIBLE GREEN SPOTS. The information pertaining to availability for SUV,Sedan in multi level car parking shows the audacity of those who own them in the vast city of Delhi. Go past Sarojini Nagar Market Shoppers Association. At metro station Mr A Pande dispenses token. Mr U R Rao does frisking. Take metro for Sarai Kale Khan NIZAMUDDIN STATION at 9.37. 

Stations on the way are Delhi Haat INA, South Extension, Lajpat Nagar, Vinobapuri, Ashram and Sarai Kale Khan NIZAMUDDIN. Reach Sarai Kale Khan at 9.49. Reach station premises at 10. On the way to railway station from metro station there are shops on either side doing brisk business. There are different vendors selling different wares. Hope they do well in their endeavours. There are scores of e-rickshaws as well giving enough hints on employability index in and around RAILWAY Station. As I reach NIZAMUDDIN side of station from Sarai Kale Khan side, I can spot a large number of passengers who have alighted from different sets of trains and waiting for appropriate transport that would take them to their destinations. As I walk I can spot different vendors with NIZAMUDDIN bus stand beehive of activities. Take bananas from vendor Suresh. Later come back to the station and take seat on PF 1. 

Spate of announcements for different trains. Train number 12059 Janshatabdi from Kota in Rajasthan running on time. Train number 12269 Duronto Express from Chennai in Tamil Nadu State in India arriving on PF 6. Humsafar Express arrives on PF 2. Train number 22868 Durg Humsafar to arrive on PF 3. Train number 04439 Palwal Ghaziabad Special to arrive on PF 3. Train number 18478 Kalingautka Express to arrive on PF 2. Train number 12715 Sachkhand Express from Nanded in Maharashtra State in India to arrive on PF 3 and proceed to Amritsar in Punjab State in India. Train number 12629 Karnataka Sampark Kranti to arrive on PF 4. There is information pertaining to cloak room which has been shifted to PF 1. Train number 12521 Trivandrum Rajdhani to arrive on PF 3 at 12.30 pm. Train from Indore to Amritsar to arrive on PF 1. Train number 18472 Utkal Express to Puri standing on PF 2. TRAIN NUMBER 12189 Mahakaushal Express from Jabalpur to Hazrat NIZAMUDDIN arrives on PF 5. Indian RAILWAY engine 37203 carrying ad of City Union Bank. 

Queries on black tea did not yield much with one gentleman Mr Sameer putting in detail that there are no restaurants in the station and black tea can't be secured. Outside Hazrat NIZAMUDDIN STATION Hyderabad's famous biryani available. There are scores of passengers arriving and departing with announcement made for Train number 12625 Kerala Express arriving on PF 2 at 12.52 pm. Meet Mr Parashar from Ahmedabad. As I head towards metro station with notings made of TRAIN arrivals and departures the very fact that people board trains at different intervals is to do with the fact that they have assignments to attend to. Those going to Amritsar prefer to take TRAIN as the taxi fare that they would be required to deposit to reach airport from their residence would be more than what would be required to reach Amritsar by TRAIN plus they would have to put up with tantrums of airlines ground staff and the belligerent pilot. In Sarai Kale Khan NIZAMUDDIN metro station at the ticket vending machine Mr Sanjeev Kumar shows his inability to dispense token as he insists on change. The ride from Sarai Kale Khan NIZAMUDDIN metro station starts at 12.05 pm and I reach Sarojini Nagar Metro Station at 12.20. Automan Harthbal takes me to residence with I putting myself at ease in inside room as I can't face the wrath of goon driver Rahul BY STAYING IN THE FRONT ROOM. When we would be freed from the clutches of this goon driver we don't know. We pray we are saved. I am facing difficulty in doing stories as my laptop which developed cracks due to mishandling by the laptop repair personnel has not been returned even after more than 10 days. I have important assignments to attend to and my laptop has not been returned. AS FOR BLACK TEA THERE WAS NO SUCCESS IN CHHATARPUR REGION IN THE HEART OF DELHI WHEN I VISITED THE GODDESS TEMPLE. HOPE THERE IS SMOOTH FLOW IN DAKSHINESWAR AND KALIGHAT TEMPLES IN KOLKATA IN WEST BENGAL STATE IN INDIA.

STAY AT DELHI CANT RAILWAY STATION AND MAKING MENTAL NOTE OF TRAIN MOVEMENTS

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.

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.

VISITING DELHI CANTT RAILWAY STATION IN THE HEART OF DELHI

Visiting Delhi Cantt Railway Station In New Delhi City In India As I stepped out of house with a mission to scan proceedings in and around Delhi Cantt Railway Station, it was a chance meeting with fruit vendor Mr Kalu who was fortunate enough to not carry mobile something that a large number of people have disdain for. Meeting pigeon feeder Mr Surinder after two years was blessings of sorts. Different sets of people could be seen carrying veggies in auto and carts with ample proof of securing earnings to meet their needs. Stepping out of house was no mean task as criminal driver Rahul provocations and criminal proceedings had to be avoided at any cost. I am in dilemma of sorts mental agony included on how to stay calm given this driver's criminal invasions. Not a single day passes when driver Rahul doesn't steal your peace and leaves you in enduring pain. For how long I would have to suffer at the hands of criminal driver Rahul whose cruise to cause pain multiplies every passing hour. As I left home with a surety that I would be freed from this criminal driver clutches for the period I stay in station it was sensationally hot outside with my thoughts on those who work tiressly to see through visible/invisible challenges. As I moved on I spotted DevikaSadarr hoarding inviting investments in the heart of Sadarbazaar Delhi. There were fleet of DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) buses carrying enough passengers. I walked all the way to sector 12 R K Puram to hail auto. At Sector 12 R K Puram there were fleet of buses waiting for CNG refill. The auto driven by Mr Sandeep began to move at 8.48 am. At HP Petrol Pump Mr Dharmendra Prasad Dwivedi was kind enough to give change. At DhaulaKuan there was signboard of NHAI (National Highway Authority Of India) welcomes you with Jaipur 268 km and airport 10 km. The traffic is signal free at DhaulaKuan and that is a big achievement. We go past Rajputana Rifles and Taurus Gate. Reach Delhi Cantt RAILWAY Station at 9.12 with auto fare coming out to be roughly Rs100. Here a special mention needs to be made of spate of e-rickhaws giving enough hints on employment opportunities in the vast city of Delhi. At platform ticket counter there was information pertaining to passengers booked and earnings in the month of December. Employment opportunities that city of Delhi provides increases manifold with functioning RAILWAY stations. Fruit vendors underneath flyover at Delhi Canttrailway station is a sight to watch with our best wishes to them. Yedu Kondalwada Venkatramana Govinda Govinda

It was a treat to watch SRI KODANDARAMA SWAMY BRAHMOTSAVAMS 2022 proceedings with alert priests, women, girls in dancing posture and two elephants who looked to be tired but ever ready to bless. Devotees on Friday (April 1, 2022) visiting Tirumala stood at 56,958, other figure 26,029, on Tuesday (April 5, 2022) stood at 66,381, other figure 28,509. WE pray we are saved from terror emanating from A 1/255 S J Enclave (goon driver rahul) and A1 /275 (here plain clothes cops reside in this lady's house since 2011 tasked with the objective to keep a tab on our movements and create reign of terror) with goon driver and lady leaving no stone unturned to disrupt water supply and unleashing reign of terror. We can't sleep in our room, we can't watch telly in our room, the water supply has been disrupted, we take bath with just three mugs of water. The terror that emanated from A 1/255 is difficult to forget with goon driver rahul making our stay in colony difficult. The terror that goon diver rahul unleashed over the years is difficult to spell. We have been provoked million times over the years but we have decided to stay inside.

It is by watching SVBC (SRI VENKATESWARA BHAKTI CHANNEL) we try to erase our pain as we can't step out. Thanks to SVBC we are trying to stay normal. Watched on Gemini Full Kick Ugadi Special, Mazhavil Manorama featured Ennum Sammatham, Manorama News had a story on transfer of IFS officers, report on silverline project as well, Polimer News featured 7 Mani Seithigal with a report on Meenakshi Amman Temple, ETV Telangana had Telangana leader K T Rama Rao speaking on Food Security Act and Food Corporation Of India.

SVBC's Naadaneerajanam Featured Bharatanatyam By A Group From Bengaluru; Full Attendance At Srivari Kalyanotsavam

SVBC's Naadaneerajanam Featured Bharatanatyam By A Group From Bengaluru; Full Attendance At Srivari Kalyanotsavam

Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC) had in its Naadaneerajanam featured Bharatanatyam by Natya Bhairavi Dance College And Team, Bengaluru. Bengaluru is Capital of Karnataka (Karnataka Is A State In South India). The next day Naadaneerajanam featured Vocal Sri Amruth Narayan And Team, Chennai. Chennai is Capital of Tamil Nadu (Tamil Nadu Is A State In South India). Srivari Kalyanotsavam in Tirumala saw after two years gap devotees in full attendance and hope same tidings continue for decades to come and be the ritual essence. Watching these three presentations reminded me of making innumerable trips to Bengaluru and Chennai on way to Tirumala, Rameswaram, Madurai, Kanniyakumari, Coimbatore, Kanchipuram, Udhagamandalam, Ahmednagar and other places and the aforementioned places having enough aces. These acts of travelling have been with twin purposes of having conversations with people at large and putting in a prayer or two that secured enough targe. Bengaluru And Chennai oscillate between happiness and average tidings with weather that facilitates rain settings. Law and order is average to good and no worrisome feature that would make commoner brood. We understand law and order would stand tall across South India with none whatsoever brawl. 

Groceries Procured With No Furore

As groceries were procured from Garg Store Central Market Safdarjung Enclave New Delhi the list comprising brown bread, mother dairy's cow milk, monaco biscuit, mineral water, honey and broom the outflow of cash was Rs 646 with delivery man Surendar quite upright and keeping a tab on yearly calendar. In the second round delivery man Ramu delivered mother dairy cottage cheese, bhujia (fried savoury) and brown bread with bhujia leading to discomfort and better it would be avoided was what I heard. The next day items procured from Garg Store comprising laung (cloves), diet chips, chikki (indian sweet), makhana (fox nuts), kapur (camphor), curd, kanodia mustard oil and outflow of cash was Rs 780 with delivery man Surendra buddy.  As households across India make attempt to prepare a weekly budget that would see outflow of cash with nothing known about unfolding shipment racket. As Mr Sharafat Ali the key maker came to make keys his mannerism suggested he was a man at ease. As for Mr Naresh the one tasked with keeping old newspapers came to deliver services his shop in central market is beehive of activities with some having heard of England's market town Devizes. As heat wave has been issued across Telangana (Telangana Is A State In South India) hope the denizens are able to put up a brave front and some having heard of bamboo flute quena.
