...Chalta Hai....
....tru we r more concerned about "Padmawati" thn the Smog hitting the NCR Delhi .....Health , Environment , Education : these Indian deptts r always a casualty ....its our "Chalta hai" attitude....nd shying away frm practicalities nd responsibilities ....thruout the yr the Indian mainland will witness elections to various legislatures , distracting frm the prime agenda of development ....as the people too r involved in impractical rhetorics ....thr is no rationality in holding Elections thru out the yr at some place or the other ....the SMOG takes a backburner position....Children & the Elderly brutally affected ....Study indicate tht the Pollutants hv a v long term ill effects on these two healths at the ends of a spectrum....the 4th estate a powerful tool wastes precious time & energy in its efforts to uphold Democracy.....rather a 4th estate highlighted awareness campaign , Private-Govt partnership, shud hv picked up the cudgels to fight the emergent urgent health related menace in the Capital...on the Contrary the continuation of a Cricket Test match in the National capital with discomforting sights of players falling ill due to pollution is hard to comprehend ....this "Chalta Hai" attitude has done us in ....the sooner we upstage this the better....!!

.....The last Lap.....
....The 10,000m is finally into the last lap as we hit December amidst Rain .....the 1st Jan arrival frm India directly frm Del to Male' was the first ever direct trip to the Island frm Delhi....alas , tht's discontinued citing operational issues by the Pvt. Local carrier....hence the hop step & Jump Flts either @ Colombo /Chennai/Bangalore for Delhi will operate.....breathless , though , as the race is coming to an end....fastest ; as every yr seems so.....thr is no slowdown in as much as I try ....the laid back yesteryrs of studentship a far cry now .....as we r Global & the World in our pocket ..thr can't be any laying back ....agendas & more agendas , deadlines & commitments r the highlight of every Indian trip...as the annual affair of homecoming is a matter of reconnect .....The Taste of India ....The Sights of India.....The Confluence Time of our Existence with the Motherland !!!!....the Butterflies r back again...!!!!

.....holidays nd cyclone.....
.....the unprecedented depression over Maldives leads to Cyclone like conditions...the Friday holiday a washout....the late evening clinic came to a close, amidst rain past 10 pm....only to find few of thm still waiting for their Inv. to be done....thr was an air of despair as they felt they wudn't see me until Sat....as Fri day is holiday....a brief chat nd reassurance nd the atmosphere was more easy, for me to make a move, hitting the street nd hurtling down for home like a dart.....accosted by a few enroute who pleasantly turned out to be acquaintances whose limited demand was my number.....Thursdays r tense wrkin days as the Friday shut down will render me inaccessible to many.....deserted Male' streets at night is not a pleasurable experience as the goalhis : narrow alleys look eerie....the heavy downpour nd a sigh of relief on the home stretch .....!!!
