Soliloquy | An honest intrapersonal talk


Street lamp lighting the road at 12 noon, so what if there is sunlight. Aur suraj ko diya bhi toh deekhana hai, who will do it, at least our responsible government is doing this effectively. I don't care who so ever has to pay for the electricity bill for this. It is not showing up in my bill. And some say, it is being paid from my tax money, but otherwise also I have to pay that. I will penalise government for this by evading tax, else my fake rent receipts will be unutilized. Ab kya mein job se off lekar, iss street light ki complaint karne jaaoon? What will happen, have to face those sick tobacco chewing good for nothing sarkari babus. They will pout their red stained mouth and tell me, "dekh rahey hai", so I am also doing the same sitting here and not getting bothered. Chal let's get back to work, have to finish this definitely by today EOD... and the day goes on as usual...

Phases of life



The three layers symbolize phases of life. The dark at the base, represents the aged and the experienced. Not liked by many because of their wisdom talks, specially the young minds criticize them of generation gap. They speak truth, which is bitter. But these elderly form the base of our families. Disputes surfacing after the death of elderly is not uncommon. The nutritional qualities of the dark chocolate which benefit our health is the advise of the elderly.

The middle layer is the young generation. Experianced experiances of life, but lot is yet to come. They are liked rather loved by most, symbolized by the sweet taste. They are liked by big as they are some mature and loved by young as they are some kid.

The top white layer represents purity. They are our kids, their hearts are the purest thing on this planet. Canvas displays the painting as the artists have played with the colours in very much the same way we have nurtured the child brains. Complaints about the misbehavior by the young are actually our complaints to self. If we have painted the canvas with black colour, we can't expect shades of yellow, red or green.

Sita Ram Diwan Chand | Khana Talks



This poori delhi mein world famous sitaram diwan chand chole bahture wala is simply good. I being a hardcore desi ghee fan for Punjabi food, is turned off at food items cooked in non desi ghee. I have a very strong notion of, how can one even think of making chole in something other than desi ghee. But all appreciation for this brilliant eatery, I simply love it. 

Just few miles from my place, it also serves a purpose of quick bite for me. This eatery is located in paharganj, chuna mandi. Also a walking distance from R.K. Ashram metro station. This is the place I trust for non desi ghee cooked delicious authentic Chole Bhature. 

Another good thing is that chole don't have a strong taste of soda, which is commonly used in chole which the vendors(halwai) suppress with strong flavoured spices. Edible soda is used to soak chole a night before so the next morning they are soft and get a good texture. You must be aware of this technique if you cook, else check out with your nani or dadi or any halwai. Sitaram's chole are mildly flavoured and very few traces of soda. 

Hygiene is another score point, which is a must for any eatery. I will score them down on sitting, no option for that. No seats, stand and eat. I would prefer eating more, if they have option to sit and eat. I am tired standing after eating only one serving. At least they are losing two orders every time I visit them as I want to order more, but irritated at standing. Also I don't let the one accompanying me to order, as again I have to wait for him till that person finishes off. 

Score up for pricing, aptly priced. They charge extra money if you want more chole apart from which they have given in a serving. But I think they are not strict at it as I was able to get some free chole...smile emoticon

The person, who sits at cash counter is not very welcoming, looking at his face expression it seems as if he is not selling tasty food, but serving a life sentence. Dude, please smile up you are doing a real good job of serving people with such a legacy Delhi food. 

So in sum total with all the plus and minus result is plus..so a good place to eat out.

Duty towards our right




Rains put Delhi drainage system to shame. Water gushing out from the pothole trying to break open the lid. Never experienced such a horrible drive in my life. It was heavily raining outside and inside, though driving an AC car sweat was trickling down my forehead. It was because of the fear that my car may falter submitting to high water level. I was consistently pressing heavy on accelerator to keep the engine in life and clutch as well to keep the speed under control. 

I was also wondering, if this is the condition of the capital of the country, then what about the cities of notorious states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, etc. Delhi is face of the country, and I have a bad feeling to have an ugly face.I don't want to blame system, administration, kejriwal, modi or congress for this. Like we all do our duties to make our home beautiful, similar must be the efforts towards our city, state and country. 

In a typical Indian family like father earns money and mother cooks food, children assist them as per their capabilities. Similar should be our efforts towards our Nation. Neither am I going to repair the drainage system, nor you but we can do what best we can do. Like we can dispose of our wastes through proper channels, so at least our drainage system is not clogged with it. We can follow traffic rules, be more courteous towards others. Stop breaking rules, even if no one is looking. So that all the energy can be diverted towards resolving issues and not implementing checks on intelligent citizens like us. 

While on the road it reminds me of my school days. Traffic police playing the role of  headmaster who is looking through the space between his glasses and forehead to find that mischievous boy who is planning to bunk a class or trying to jump the wall as we try to jump the signal. When will we grow up? Why do we need someone to check our actions. This is a serious question on our upbringing and education system that even after completing 10+2,  adding graduation, post graduation or even doctorate, we are still worst than a preschooler. Preschooler is ignorant and innocent, but that doesn't apply to us.Let's make this place a better place to live by just doing whatever we are doing in a right way. 

It is more important to do things in a right way then doing things right. Doing it right, is not our right but our duty towards our rights.
