The Ride From New Delhi Railway Station To Kalka In India

The Ride From New Delhi Railway Station To Kalka In India 

Having boarded Kalka Shatabdi it was time to spare a thought for the audience that was not rowdy. Having pulled out of New Delhi Station a little after 7. 40  it was no time to get dotty. Mr Rajesh Mehta was the TTE (Train Ticket Examiner) who was humble and polite and taking a seat next to me was his right. At 8 am reached Subzi Mandi station and two to three kms from here there was an open space where some persons were relieving and there was an urgent need to have a toilet base. The train gains traction, slows down and again gains traction and for the moment there were none in action. Spot board of Jahangirpuri where enduring peace would sustain was the query. 

Reaching Samaypur Badli Railway Station At 8.10 With Fairly Clean Station In Karnal at 9.25

Reach Samyapur Badli Railway Station at 8.10 with enough sighting of Samaypur Badli Metro Station in the vicinity of which some students take tuition. At 8.12 came Khera Kalan, at 8.16 Holambi Kalan, at 8.23 Rathdhana, at 8.27 Sonipat, at 8.31 Sandal Kalan, at 8.33 Rajlu Garh, at 8.34 Ganaur and there was no uproar. At 8.38 Bhodwal Majri Station witnessing construction of sorts was spotted and here I was reminded of Kanniyakumari Station (Kanniyakumari Is A City In Tamil Nadu State In India) Visit in 2016 that was elevated. At 8.40 came Samalkha, with Panipat coming at 8.50 and stoppage here was for two minutes with some in state of gaiety. Since 9 am one could spot tracks under repair with workers at work and no one trying to be track repair shirk. At 9. 12 came Bazida Jattau, at 9.19 the train gains traction and in 9.25 Karnal with clean surroundings came into action. At 9.30 Taraori, at 9.32 Nilokheri, at 9.39 Amin and at 9.45 Kurukshetra where the train stopped and here some passengers hopped. 

Functioning Of A PSU

At 9.55 Dodakheri, at 9.58 Dhirpur and right through the journey I was witness to someone talking about functioning of PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) and the constant conversation gave the clues. Perhaps a civil engineer in NBCC and from his tone it looked he had made a fast buck while accepting the estimates of varied projects and this showed irregularities in NBCC functioning buckets. It was high time to put NBCC under scanner and no one was milking the same with handy skills of pruner. Irregularities in NBCC may come to the fore, civil engineers and others making fast buck is the aberration that needs to be corrected for sure. We wish well for NBCC and other PSUs and hope none are milking and leaving them with enough bruise. 

Slew Of Underpasses

At 10 came Dhola Mazra railway station and sight slew of underpasses for the next 50 odd minutes with Shahbad Markanda coming at 10.03, Mohri at 10.10 and it was time to have black tea which did not come for free. Mr Khem Raj Joshi gave the tea and that was the lee. At 10.25 came Ambala Cantt and here the train halted and this was followed by Dhulkot at 10.38, Lalru at 10.44, DAPPAR at 10.46, Ghaggar at 10.48 with the train coach having a sizeable weight. Since 10.55 slew of high rises could be spotted and much famed Chandigarh (Chandigarh Is Capital Of Haryana And Punjab States In India) coming at 11 with some having heard of game necessarily called gammon. Do not litter with a fine of Rs 500 was the board one could spot, would this invite admiration from a large lot? At 11.37 came Kalka and it was here I had to deboard and take grub from Bhojanalaya (Refreshment Centre) whose staff was not cold. This journey lasting four hours gave a glimpse of India with graft episodes that were vey much visible on table and here monitoring would clear the dust and rubble. India for one needs an experiment at introspection, would this pay off give the greedy enough cushion?  On Other Side India's Agriculture Sector Raises Stirring Notes And Here We Need To Salute Farmers Who Float.  

Devotees on Friday who visited Tirumala (Lord Venkateswara Lord Govinda Temple) the figure stood at 73,358, other figure being 41,900.

Leaving For New Delhi Railway Station To Head Towards Kalka In Haryana And Kasauli In Himachal Pradesh In India

Leaving For New Delhi Railway Station To Head Towards Kalka In Haryana And Kasauli In Himachal Pradesh In India

Peeping through Delhi-South India sector air fare the perennial high tariff suggested there were millions who took this route no matter howsoever were the business returns crude. I for one was in no mood to travel to South India and the all thorough day gaze was meant to see if the said fares would dive to invite praise and would have a consistency base. Even if the fare fell I won't be swayed to go on a South India trail as South India is too distant from New Delhi to hail.  As I set myself to the task of booking a train ticket to Kalka (Kalka Is A City In Haryana State In India) this was the first train journey to be undertaken after over two year hiatus alone knowing fully well who all came to New Delhi City from Rome. The Indian Railway website IRCTC was the one to log on to declare the intent to travel the proceeding hours would have uninterrupted tales to unravel. It was a tatkal ticket (tatkal ticket is a high premium ticket given by Indian Railways) with seat number 23 and nothing to glee. Concern was whether the ride to Kalka would engineer feats of acceptability in a nation where corruption is very much in the kitty. Concern was whether I would be able to travel to Kasauli (Kasauli is in Himachal Pradesh State In India) to visit Manki Point where there is a famed Lord Hanuman Temple which I visited way back in June 2014. In June 2014 I walked all the way to Lord Hanuman Temple in Manki Point from Kasauli Bus Stand and returned on foot as well with enough sighting of those on boot. Concern was whether I would be able to avail black tea at different places I was supposed to visit and the aforementioned places witnessing no heist. The bag I was supposed to carry was small as the large bag with heavy load could very much get me in a brawl. All through Friday the thoughts were on the State in India called Himachal where in the interior parts there are enough sighting of tubewells. My experience in the State of Himachal has been a mixed one in the past with vituperation coming in short spell even in areas having carrel. In India vituperation is rampant across North and those indulging in the same are no less dolt. Perhaps the hill stations in North India have no rescue plan and electric vehicles alone and alone could be the balm. Entry of petrol/ diesel vehicles coming from other states/provinces a steep entry fee of Rs 5000 for every day should be levied and this could well be electric vehicles introduction and most would heed.

Leaving Safdarjung Enclave Home at 6.20 am 

On A Friday left home at 6.20 am searching for an auto. I hailed an auto driven by Mr Brijlal who demanded Rs 200 from Safdarjung Enclave to New Delhi Railway Station ride and this steep fare suggested Rs 30 odd that I used pay in the mid 90s for taking Shatabdis ( Shatabdis are fast moving trains run by Indian Railways connecting different State Capitals) was an era to be inquisitive with enough queries. Rupees two hundred was too steep and I had to content with no tale to weave. The gentleman Mr Brijlal talked about zebra crossing and those who crossed in a red light could well be fined and the chances were no blight. As I went past INA, Safdarjung Flyover and Sunehari Bagh Road there was sighting of black colour taxis which were on a float. Go past United News Of India and Sansad Marg where some have imaginary tales emerging from the city of New York and occasionally hug. Reached Connaught Place at 6.39 and go past Sri Lanka Buddhist Pilgrims' Rest and here those taking shelter are avid guest. Stuck in Chelmsford Road for over 10 minutes and reach New Delhi Station at 6.53 when still over forty minutes were there for Kalka Shatabdi to speed and flee. For one the parking space on Paharganj Side of New Delhi Railway Station should be done away with if traffic snarls are to be erased and not lit. If not that for every private vehicle taking refuge in this parking space a steep parking fee of Rs 500 for every hour should be imposed and there could be less car coast. From the bookstall where Mr Chaudhary was at the counter took toothbrush and other essentials and began to move to Platform Number 2 where I would sight Kalka Shatabdi Train Crew. On Platform One there was an ad of Tamil Nadu Tourism a State I have visited in the past where people have heard of terminology Humism. Kalka Shatabdi arrived at 7.25 on platform two and departed at 7.43 with some having heard of German Admiral Spee. The train slows down and began to gain traction emerging from a city where vituperation is in action. Ahmedabad Rajdhani could be seen entering Platform One coming from A State where there are enough gem. As the train began to move it went past coach care centre with train ticket examiner having successfully shunned the hot weather. Some talked about high inflation across India and faulty policies of regime making it halt and beam.

Stepping Out On Tuesday And Wednesday In New Delhi In India

Stepping Out On Tuesday And Wednesday In New Delhi In India

As the air fare for Bengaluru (Bengaluru Is A City In Karnataka State In India) on Wednesday Night inched closer to 14 (Rs 14,000), it was to time to skip food from adjoining canteen. The said city has received rains in quantum and residents have heard of South Eastern France City Menton. Menton is considered to be a winter resort with idyllic surroundings and with no sighting of drought. God has been kind to Menton and blessings would come in plenty no matter whereabouts not known about attendee. 

Stepping Out On A Tuesday

On A Tuesday leave home at 7.10 am. Spot bus number 623 breaking all traffic rules and crossing red light while going towards Shahdara in New Delhi. Spot two Nagaland trucks bearing numbers NL - 01 N 5705 and NL - 01N 5709. Nagaland Is A State In North East India where long lasting peace is a charade. We hope peace reigns. Go past Speed Calming Ahead Go Slow Board. Go past Delhi Tourism And Transportation Development Corporation Limited (Travel Division) Delhi Govt. Reach INA Metro Station at 7.32.

Shoekeeper Mr Sheesh Pal is kind enough to hand over shoes. Start walking towards Karol Bagh. Go past Ramjas School and D.T.E.A. (Delhi Tamil Education Association) School. Mind you D.T.E.A school is in adjoining area in Mandir Marg as well and this is a reflection on number of people from Tamil Nadu (Tamil Nadu Is A State In South India) residing in Delhi. Spot Ad Of Namaste India Milk. Spot buses going towards Rohini, Uttam Nagar and Inderpuri. These are locales in the very heart of Delhi.  

Delhi Housing Over 14 Million People

Delhi is a vast city housing over 14 million people and majority of whom carry on with their lives with no ill will and hatred. As I near Karol Bagh spot ad of Drishti IAS, NEXT IAS. IAS (Indian Administrative Service) is one of the three wings of All India Services, other being IPS (Indian Police Service) and IFS (Indian Foreign Service)). Probationers undergo training in Mussoorie and hope they maintain discipline. There could well be notable absentees here. Reach Karol Bagh at 8.17. Go past Schneider Electric, Cool Point and Clothes 'N' More. Reach Lord Hanuman Temple In Karol Bagh and leave soon. Employment that Karol Bagh and precincts provide is no less and this a welcome sign for the city of Delhi. At Karol Bagh Metro Station spot different ads. LUKMAAN IAS The one and only by S Ansari. Edukemy. Success meets you. Shabbir Bashir. These are IAS coaching centres. Metro starts from Karol Bagh at 8.29. Reach Rajiv Chowk at 8.40. Wait for Qutub Minar bound train. Metro starts at 8.47. Reach INA Metro Station at 8.59. Hail auto driven by Mr Sadiq Hussain. Mr S Ansari, Mr Shabbir Bashir and Mr Mr Sadiq Hussain come from minority section (Muslims) and they are doing wonderful job in the city of Delhi. Reach home at 9.10. Tuesday was the day when summer was at its peak and stepping out was a necessity to get circulation in the legs. 

Tuesday on SVBC (Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel) information was shared with the audience that trek from SRIVARI METTU to Tirumala has 2388 steps. Hindi Khabar Channel had a story on dilapidated state of affairs as far as govt schools in Himachal Pradesh ( Himachal Pradesh Is A State In India) is concerned with around 8,000 schools having just one teacher and in 10,000 schools across Himachal Pradesh State there is just one or two room. Schools need uplift and here Delhi Model could be applied. 

Electric Vehicle Charging Station At West Kidwai Nagar Are Yet To Get Functional As There Are Least Electric Vehicles In Delhi

On A Wednesday leave home at 7.45 am. Mind you there are two ElectriVa Electric Vehicle Charging Station next to West Kidwai Nagar in a space of 100 metres. When these Charging Stations would become functional with electric vehicles alone making inroads in the city of Delhi is a query that seeks response every day. Meet vendor Mr Mohammad Shamim who is a Muslim and knows the tricks of staying in a BIG CITY. Sometimes when I go through West Kidwai Nagar I am reminded of my different sojourns to Gujarat State (Gujarat Is A State In West India) notably Somnath, Dwarkadhish, and Okha.  Reach INA Metro Station at 8.07. Frisking by Mr Prakash Kumar Kamat. Metro leaves at 8.15. Reach Rajiv Chowk Metro Station at 8.25. Reach Jhandewalan Metro Station at 8.33. Visit Lord Hanuman Temple . Hail auto driven by Mr Manish. Inside auto there is a message in Hindi Language Naari Ka Samman (Giving Respect To Women). Reach Karol Bagh at 8.48.

As I step out of metro station Spot Food Bus Of India. Take apple juice at 9.53. Frisking by Mr Rahul Sharma. Mr Deepak Kumar is kind enough to give token. Wait for a less crowded metro. Metro starts at 10.05 am. Deboard at Rajiv Chowk at 10.17. Qutub Minar bound metro starts at 10.25. Reach INA at 10.37. Reach home at 10.47 with auto driven by My Ainuddin Chowdhury. At INA Metro Station I spot a woman in blue attire and a woman in Vaishno Devi was also spotted in blue attire in October 2017. Hope they are having a smooth sail. Wednesday was the day when thoughts were on Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and when would Electric Vehicles greet the residents of Delhi. With fuel prices showing an upward trend it is high time electric vehicles make their way in different parts of India and the common man getting the much-needed relief. We are living in uncertain times and survey of the mosque should have been avoided. Flames of hatred should be doused with due respect to people irrespective of their religious affiliations. 

Al Jazeera And CNN Channels Are Doing A Wonderful Job.

Accessing South India By Air Is No Fair

Accessing South India By Air Is No Fair

In South India bound sector the air fare is on a rise and this is a surprise. Hovering in thousands between 9 and 12 and this is the ringing bell heard in airports that swell. Are these air fares meant to please fat purse segment and rising steadily to remain permanent? Why Accessing South India from centres like New Delhi leave a big hole in pocket as these air fares sky rocket. Accessing is a big ask as planes fly over intermittent territories splashed with grass. If that was not all procuring one policy saw outflow of huge cash intermingled with IGST of close to Rs 5500 and this showed regime's writ and their kindred. This IGST is draining out honest man's reserves do you have a count of those running ACs with no break in offices with fat purse and enough bulwark?

Places In South India To Access

Places In South India To Access Where Weather Is No Stress are Bengaluru, Mysore, Chikmagalur, Munnar, Coorg, Vythiri, Kotagiri, Udhagamandalam, Kodaikanal And Beyond even places witnessing scorching summer like Rameswaram could be advised for a short stay which occasionally receives visitors from West Bengal's Kalimpong. As weather looks fine in Bengaluru with rains pounding Chennai which is thousand and thousand miles away from South American Country Peru, the onset of monsoon in South India is not far, hope the monsoon is widespread with no bar. 

No Information On Devotees

With no information coming on number of devotees visiting Lord Venkateswara Temple In Tirumala on Sunday in Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC)'s Adhyatmika Viseshalu we were surprised to see no noting on this front, hope Adhyatmika Viseshalu doesn't function from premises on rent. The largesse shown by South Indians is a force to reckon with here in large swathes of North India stepping out early morning could be a hit. North India simmers the entire day with scorching summer on tray. Kerala for one could be accessed by avid traveller this summer as monsoon hopefully would have arrived by June with some taking drinks in rummer and knowing fully well their kimmer. As we watch proceedings from South India on channels like SVBC, Polimer News, News 7 Tamil, TV 5 Kannada, Sun, Jaya, Manorama News, Mazhavil Manorama, ETV Telangana, ETV Andhra Pradesh and Gemini, it is time to think of surroundings with none whatsoever ennui. South India gets the dutiful attention it deserves, side by side one can't forget the North India buzz. 

This Summer To Get Going

This summer to get going calls for requisite intake of water; coconut water to buttermilk to lassi  (buttermilk and lassi are different) and one need not be fussy. Summer we hail for the consistency shown in raising resistance and here Ajmer is one place which is not tense. With Summer right at its peak those on short fuse not in small numbers hope myriad of challenges faced by humanity is met with deft response post intake of cucumber. Airports across places in world witnessing high temperatures have to ensure things in order the folks working there having heard of Hungarian political leader Kadar. Political folks too take flight journey at tax payer's expense having the aroma of cense. For how long one would have to shell out high premium which is a quantum jump from previous outgo and this shows the insurance company in no ho. Let's celebrate honesty and resilience of Indians, they have thousand and thousand miles to trek and having heard of Guamanian. The world over the order to be restored is the crying need and hope each individual on earth is getting the requisite feed.

Watching Adivo Alladivo On Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC)

Watching Adivo Alladivo On Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC)

Adivo Alladivo on SVBC on Saturday featured singers Ms Bhaktiki, Mr Yashwant Kumar, Ms Shalini, Mr Gopi, Ms Vasudaprada and Mr Tarak Srinivas. Judges were Shailendar Garu, S P Shailesh Garu and Sai Krishna Garu. Shailendar Garu observed Lord Rama told us how to lead life; Lord Krishna told us how to deal with life. In Life the aspect of tenacity is very important. 

Special mention made by judge of Ms Vasudaprada and Mr Tarak Srinivas. I relish watching Adivo Alladivo. 

In SVBC's Adhyatmika Viseshalu on Saturday there was two set of report from Tirupati, report from Delhi, report from Bhubaneswar, report from Nellore, report from Srikalahasti, report from Ananthapuram, report from Cuddapah, report on SVBC Online Radio, report from Kurnool, report from Nalgonda, report from Chittoor, report from Telangana's Dharmapuri, report from Telangana, report from Kamareddy. Devotees who visited Lord Venkateswara/ Lord Govinda Temple in Tirumala on Friday the figure stood at 62,000, other figure 32,303. 

In SVBC's Adhyatmika Viseshalu on Sunday there was a report from Tiruchanoor, report from Odisha (preparations for Kalyan Mandapam), two set of report from Tirupati, report from Delhi, report from Srikalahasti and report from Chittoor. There was no mention of number of devotees who visited Tirumala on Saturday. 

Visiting Sarojini Nagar Market In New Delhi

Had the opportunity to visit State Bank of India. Leave home at 10.10 am. Automan Mr Kumar is at the helm. Meet security personnel Mr Jagmohan. Mr Aditya is the new personnel at the bank. Use of cellular phone inside branch premises is strictly prohibited was the message that was loud and clear. Leave bank premises at 10.45. Meet fruit vendor Mr Manoj. Spot buses with numbers 611, 587 (Kamruddin Nagar), 578 (Najafgarh). Meet volunteers of Civil Defence New Delhi District. Reach Ring Road Sarojini Nagar at 11 am. Go past Lord Hanuman Temple at 11.05. Reach Sarojini Nagar Market at 11.15. Visit Punjab Bartan (Utensil) Store with Mr Sunil Kumar at the counter. Visit premises of  airtel store and jio store. Alarmed to note that jio doesn't offer 2G and 3G connection in India. Perhaps the jio personnel across country don't realise the fact that in India there are less and less number of people who own mobile and most are comfortable with normal mobile as smartphone is a total waste. India is a poor country and normal mobile would be the order of the day.  The prepaid airtel connection that I take there is agonising wait for internet to get going. In Jammu, Katra and beyond the different people I came across were comfortable with 2G connection in their mobile and there was declining visibility of smartphone. 

Visiting INA Market In New Delhi

On another day leave home at 9.25 am. Meet fruit vendor Mr Shreeram. Spot buses with numbers 611, 392, 567, 529, 442, 724, 874  going to different destinations in Delhi. Meet vendor Madam Laddo Devi, meet cool drinks vendor Mr Vikas with vendor Mr Chandan not present. Meet Mr Manoj Kumar who has difficulty in walking. At 9.50 go past Delhi Tourism And Transportation Development Corporation LTD ( Travel Division) Of Delhi Govt in INA. Go past Maharaja Agrasen Marg. Next to INA Metro Station spot E-Next Mobility autorickshaws. These are electric autorickshaws in blue colour introduced by Delhi Govt and they could take away the load of autos running on CNG. Perhaps electric autorickshaws need to be encouraged in Delhi and beyond. In INA market meet Mr Mohammad Jawed who guides me to a  bag store. Mr Mohammad Jawed is a Muslim and good at heart. Mr Madan Singh of Ambassador Suitcase store is helpful. So is National Store boy who gives two set of Mysore Sandal Soap. 

As for fire incidents in Jammu and Delhi much of the blame lies in running ACs for 20, 20 hours with no break and faulty wiring. Hope there is judicious usage of multiple ACs across offices.

SVBC has been grappling with a technical glitch since Sunday where the voice comes before the picture and there is no synchronisation between sound and picture. Hope this glitch is tackled with success. Aahar Flour coming in 5 kg pack is handy. We relish Aahar Flour delivered by City Store Central Market Safdarjung Enclave New Delhi. Mother Dairy's Cow's Milk Is equally good. 

Sun Channel beamed from Tamil Nadu State In India had a report on rose festival in Udhagamandalam (Udhagamandalam Is A City In Tamil Nadu State In India). Reminiscing about Anegundi in Karnataka State In India and Udhagamandalam. There is peace and tranquility in South India much due to good governance. There should be judicious use of water and power across world.

Leaving Katra In Jammu And Kashmir State In India For India's Capital New Delhi

Leaving Katra For India's Capital New Delhi

As I was not able to procure sleep the entire night in Katra the sum total of black tea and bananas signaled the intent that onward journey would be accomplished with no hiccups. The set of idly the previous night from Jewels was good and so was the ambience. As I bided time personnel of Katra Taxi Stand assured me transport would be arranged for Jammu. In October 2017 when I visited this place I had grub from Krishna Dhaba. Mind you Luxmi Vaishno Dhaba or Krishna Dhaba are no ordinary restaurants, they are upscale by any standards. 

Mr Bunty Of Katra Taxi Stand Helpful

After 11 am I checked out of Tilak Yatri Hotel with the personnel Mr Biju wishing to know whether I intended to avail taxi service. The prompt response by Mr Bunty of Katra Taxi Stand assured me that Mr Biju's request could be entertained the next time. This Tilak Yatri hotel is good by all means. Leave Katra at 11.09 am. Mr Om Prakash Sharma (9419110057) is at the wheels. He has been driving taxi for 30 years. He put a query to me whether I visited Vaishno Devi Shrine every month to which I replied I come as and when Goddess Vaishno Devi wishes. Visiting Vaishno Devi Shrine at short intervals and even every month could be possible if Vaishno Devi Ma so desires. 

The Ride From Katra To Jammu

As the taxi made its way through Katra town going past Hotel Asia Shripati, going past Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Spiritual Growth Centre. Sight hoarding of Thanks For Visit Municipal Committee Katra. Go past Suraj Vaishno Dhaba. Go past TNP News hoarding. The road to Jammu is great with enough twists and turns. Board of hurry makes bad curry and this message is for all those driving different modes of transport and they need to have patience and spare a thought for pedestrians. Spot PWD At Your Service Hoarding. Spot J&K State Road Transport Corporation bus. Thanks For Visit District Administration Reasi board spotted. At 11.29 Srinagar (Srinagar Is Capital of Jammu And Kashmir State In India) is 220 km, Delhi 602 km. At 11.30 reach Suketar. At 11.33 go past first tunnel, followed by second and third tunnel. Surroundings are expansive. Fourth tunnel comes soon after. At 11.38 reach Ban. At 11.39 Delhi is 593 km and Jammu 33 km. At 11.40 Sharp Curve Here board spotted. Go past Kashmir Handloom And Handicraft Store. At 11.42 reach Dhammi. At 11.45 reach Jagti. At 11.48 reach Khanpur. At 11.49 comes Sithi. At 11.50 Amritsar 228 km, Pathankot 117 km and Jammu 20 km. Enter Jammu city a little after 12 pm. The traffic is thin with sighting of enough security personnel. At 12.16 reach Jammu Airport. 

More Than Three Stages Of Frisking At Jammu Airport

There is almost winding queue outside airport and frisking begins at the outer gate of airport itself. This is followed by second stage of frisking and third stage. The CISF personnel who rummages through check in baggage points out that coconut can't be carried. He is from North East and with enough patience. Here I take a seat next to frisking point and here a woman passes through carrying laptop. I bide my time with announcements made for different flights. Vistara flight arriving from Srinagar to Jammu and headed back to Srinagar. Similar announcements made for IndiGo and Go Air ( Go First). With Go First Flight which I am supposed to board the announcement is made for gate change from number four to number three. Here there is another set of frisking before boarding the aircraft. Flight captain is Mr Pradeep Kumar Sharma and co-pilot Ms Vinita Kashyap. The flight takes off at 2.48 and lands in Delhi airport at 3.48. In record 60 minutes the Go First Flight accomplished Jammu-Delhi ride as against almost 70 minutes taken by Spice Jet flight from Delhi to Jammu. 

Pre Paid Taxi Counter At Delhi Airport T 2 Good; Bring In More Black And Yellow Taxis

We hail flights that take off from Delhi and go via Delhi Cantt, Bhikaji Cama Place and South Extension. In T 2 Delhi Airport where the Go First Flight lands there is little rush and one can step out of airport premises in matter of seconds. The pre paid taxi counter maintained by Traffic Department is handy and I hail a Non AC Black And Yellow Taxi. These pre paid taxi counters are a must as they give employment to black and yellow taxis of an era gone by and gives income to those people who are content with vehicles that are old. I wish more black and yellow taxis make inroads in the city of Delhi and beyond. The route that my taxi took from airport was similar to the route taken by a black and yellow taxi in August 2016 when I returned from Guruvayur in Kerala State In India while taking flight from Kochi at 2.30 am. The memories of Guruvayur stint comes afresh. I stayed in Guruvayur for almost a week with Lord Guruvayur showering blessings. This time round I reach home a little before 4.50 pm with memories in abundance about Vaishno Devi Shrine. While coming from this route next to Africa Avenue and in vicinity of a church the Friday Market can be seen. The point not to be missed I carried Mysore Sandal Soap (Mysore Sandal Soap Is Manufactured In Bengaluru City In Karnataka State In India) To Vaishno Devi Shrine And Brought It Intact Back To Delhi.

Are Their Flights From Delhi To Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh) And Hope Airport Comes Soon

When would flights originate from Delhi and go all the way to Srisailam In Andhra Pradesh State In India no one knows. First the airport has to come up. Airport at Srisailam is a must. Reminiscing about Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh), Jakhu Temple (Shimla), Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah (Ajmer), Nathdwara, Udaipur (Lord Shrinathji Resides Here) and Tamil Nadu (Kotagiri And Udhagamandalam). As for the City Of Bengaluru the weather is fine and much relief from summer scorcher of North India. It has been a while since I visited Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah in Ajmer.
