The condition of public transport needs no introduction. Everyone knows the truth about their condition and how much useful they prove to be in solving their purpose. It is hard to say if with time, the condition is improving or deteriorating. Although introduction of ‘Metro’ did provided the much needed relief, but in front of Delhi’s growing population it is turning out to be a case of too little too late. The increasing traffic on the roads, never ending jams, long wait at the red lights, the ever green ‘K-lines’ alongwith errant DTC and what not, when it comes to commuting the city of flyovers is really flying above all. But instead of all the traffic and commuting problem am only interested in the age old Delhi Transport Corporation – DTC.

Few days back, impeccably dressed with not even a single hair out of place our Honourable Home Minister, very swiftly and in his suave manner declared that hanging Afzal Guru [an Indian in Indian jail, accused and proven guilty of treachery in parliament attack case, even by the supreme court] will lead to Pakistan hanging of Sarabjit [an Indian in Pakistani jail, in a case of mistaken identity].

Two months down the line, today am in a much better position to talk about the book as I have almost finished ‘My country My life’.

Rains are a part of the large weather cycle which we have in India and Delhi particularly. Due to the distance from sea we experience extreme continental climate in the national capital, varying with five seasons- summers, monsoon, autumn, winters and spring. Today in the morning all of a sudden the day from sunny changed to cloudy. It was a pleasant surprise to see a thick cloud cover on a bright sunny day, with cool and fast wind blowing. Sometime after it started to rain, first slowly and then a real downpour which is nowadays rare even during the monsoon. There is something very special about rainy days and monsoon. This is particularly my favourite season, and this unscheduled rainfall provided me with a reason to write a post on rains which was overdue for a long time [as long time back I was provided with the idea of writing a post about rains and what is special about them by a smarty].??????

Sometime back Rahul Gandhi the gen-next politician from the Gandhi kin started with his ‘Discovery of India’ voyage. The day he began with his journey the media and the political circle began their scrutinizing and in no time it became talk of the tinsel-town. From political pundits to columnists, from blogs to newspapers everyone talked about his trip and they found the whole exercise pointless.
