Visit to MTNL Sanchaar Haat – A Must Read

Its been more than 3 weeks now that I visited MTNL Sanchaar Haat after a very long time. Usually I don’t go there as I pay my bills online. The reason I had to go there was that I moved house and wanted to request to move my Broadband connection to my new house. I was there twice and I would like to share some thoughts and experience with you all.

My first visit was quite short and simple. I took a form from the information counter and submitted it to the department who takes care of all the broadband movements. I was told that I would get my phone installed at my new house in 3-4 days. I remember it was Monday when I requested for the movement. Nothing happened for the next 5 days and I kept following up with them over the phone. The reason I was given for not being able to install the landline phone was that they did not have the wire. Even after 2-3 follow ups I got the same response over the phone.

As You Sow, So Shall You Reap

Ever since the partition Pakistan has been frustrated and trying to do things which are unacceptable. The decision was made, you live there and we live here. And if that is not what you wanted then you should have raised  your voice earlier. Its too late now. Lets us live and please don’t indulge in something that you can not control. Otherwise this will keep happening. (more…)

Are we on the verge of another Indo-Pak war ?

I don’t know how all this started, why did we start figting. All I remember is that Pakistan has been a pain in the a$$ of India ever since I have started to know things. Just saw in the news the there has been firing on the border again. I am not sure who is actually attacking here. It might be Pakistan or India. But All I am concerned about is that if the war breaks out again there is no going back this time. There has been a lot of pressure on both of the countries. Both governments have been trying to sort the things out but somehow things are not going in the right direction.

CommonWealth Games 2010 : Things you can do to contribute for a successful event

Alright, I think its the time that I talk about the burning issue of Commonwealth Games supposed to be held in Delhi, India. I think we are trying our best to keep them here but somehow I am getting this feeling that we are not ready. Our government has not even started the construction of some of the stadiums. We I really wish our Indian Government best of luck. May God bless them with some wisdom. Why do these guys not understand that it will be less shameful if we tell the Commonwealth Games community that we are not ready to host the event rather then the athletes coming to India and coming to know that we are not even able to provide the basic facilities to them. Forget about organizing the Commonwealth Games 2010.

A proposal to replace Auto Rikshaw with TATA Nano – A Letter to Mrs CM Shiela Dixit

Mrs. CM,

I am a citizen of your city since 1993 when I came here to take admission in my 10+2 vocational course. Ever since I am a fan of this city and love this city more than any other cities I have visited and lived in India. I think this is the most beautiful and safe city than any other.

I have used public transport medium for most of my commutes throughout  my stay in Delhi right from cycle rickshaw to Delhi metro and now the low floor buses. I remember a ride on an auto rickshaw somewhere in east Delhi where there were 9 people sitting inside the auto rickshaw and 6 hanging on the outside railing and bumper of the auto rickshaw. I have traveled through initially the most common and then the dangerous red-line buses to CNG fitted worlds largest fleet of Eco friendly transport system – The DTC buses.
