Do you take your life guarantee?

Who takes life guarantee??

A small chartered plane being used as an air ambulance to ferry a patient to a New Delhi hospital crashed Wednesday into a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of the Indian capital, killing 10 people, government officials said. 

According to the Press Trust of India, the airplane lost control during a dust storm and plunged from about 8,000 feet (2,440 meters). 

The aircraft had seven passengers on board and was just minutes from landing when it slammed into a residential building in the city of Faridabad, south of New Delhi, Pradeep, a local magistrate who uses only one name, told the New Delhi TV channel. 

The plane broke into two and caught fire, charring part of the house. Hours after the crash, the plane's tail was still perched on the house's roof and its engine lay in a nearby alley. 
All those on board were killed and three others living in the house died as well. Two other people were injured. 

The bodies were charred beyond recognition, according to Faridabad Police Commissioner P.K. Agarwal. 

The aircraft was bringing a critically ill businessman from the eastern city of Patna to a hospital in New Delhi, owner of the Jagdish Hospital, where the patient had been staying. The passengers included two pilots, two doctors and a medical attendant. 

Will you still take your life guarantee?

Another Inflation..

                               


 Are you ready?
As if the sharp of petrol price by Rs 5/liter on Saturday was not enough, Monday brought the frightening prospect of double-digit inflation coming to your door soon, fueled this time largely by a spike in manufactured goods. Diesel prices to rise too.. 

Don't you think its time to preserve resources and act in a rational manner rather than criticizing the govt. These resources are limited and should be used wisely, these are just indications to show that its high time we should incorporate habits to save petrol, and other natural resources.

What do you say?

Life is so uncertain.......

Lately Mumbai-Delhi Rajdhani Express caught fire in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh. Though none of the passengers got injured in the horrifying incident, but Indian Railways promised to give Rs. 5000 to the passengers of the B6 and B7 coaches of the train which were ion the target of the blaze. 

Around 2:00 am in the morning that day one of the Railway staff saw smoke coming out of the pantry car of the train. He then courageously stopped the train and helped people to deboard the train immediately. Soon after all the passengers were out of the train the coaches B6 and B7 along with pantry car got fire. All the belongings of the passengers were not rescued and got burnt but the passengers are safe. 

Huge malfunction survived due to attention of just one. The question also strikes that, where were the security personals went at the time of the mishap? 

Were all sleeping when the fire was blazing? 
Nobody would have even liked to imagine that what could have happened if no one was attentive. 
Although after the survival, there was a huge chaos in and around the capital and in Ratlam also. Help lines were in action in Mumbai and Ratlam. 

Do we need to stay awake at nights while traveling in Indian Railways? 

It’s time to think!

“The Queen Of Hills – Mussoorie”

Finally the spring glides in and no wonder we are blasking in its full glory. Although, I prefer travelling during the monsoon months, spring time travel is unbeatably the best season. Be it your very own city or a distant hamlet, the crystal clear sky and the cold breeze sound like as if it’s the winter that speak. Last year during spring time when I was at my hometown (Dehradun), a quick plan on phone and I was ready to go to mussoorie with my friend. No preparation except a shirt, a pair of jeans and a cardigan in the bag, an argument with ‘papa’ over the car as it was nightime, but nothing could stop a stubborn child. 

The breeze was cool and the wind in my hair was embalming as soon as we crossed Rajpur. What was more unexpected was that people swarmed even at night and the occasional couples on bikes sped past us like birds on a flight. The green canopy on either side of the road made the drive just magnificent. On reaching mussoorie, however I was stunned at the entry point to the hill station which was cluttered with cars stuck in a jam a little too many on a narrow road. It was at this time when I realized that I still needed practice to drive on a slope . A little sleep at the hotel and we were out on the Mall Road next morning. Nevertheless, the weather aws so amazing as a thin layer of cloud could be seen just above 2-3 feet above and the sun would peek from every passing cloud. It was chilly and a slight woolen seemed just right. Now we were looking for a place to have breakfast, though nanditaa urged on having the famous ‘aloo kachori’ but its shop no longer existed. We settled for sambhar vada and dosa, the aroma beckoned us more than choice. The walk at the Mall Road was heavenly and everything seemed too beautiful for words. I only managed to buy some aromatic candles because to me it seemed that the shopkeeper had assumed us as the daughters of billionaire. They felt it unprofitable on their end to confront a bargain. However, my bargaining strength was weak. 

Just as we were heading to Kempty Fall and Dhanaulti, pap called in. Our plans were washed away and we decided to cut short the trip. It then started drizzling . I thought it would be a bad idea if I drived back. 

Downhill, we stopped at famous at the famous ‘Shiv Mandir’ and had ‘Prasad of kladi chaval’. The temples bell pealing in the air just made the atmosphere so pure.. so serene.. We reached home about 5 and I was completely fatigued. Yet the excursion held. 

This was my last spring experience and it would always hold a special place in my heart as it reminded me of it today.

"Home Sweet Home"


After the hectic schedule when I often get time out I usually keep it aside for going back home.The same happened when I last visited my place. Let me know share my experience on my last visit. I always promise myself not to sleep while travelling but sleep somehow casts its spell on me. Just as the bus crossed Ghaziabad I slept and got up at khatoli. Immediately I rubbed my eyes and felt an emergency of going to the washroom and then an expected act of mine of stuffing my stomach with wafers. The bus stopped at ‘ Rosette Inn’ and all the passengers got down for refreshments and seeing them my mouth also started watering It was strange that despite of having a heavy dinner and a pack of wafer I was feeling hungry. So I ordered my as usual ‘Masala Dosa’ and sat on my old table in the garden area. Believe me its really enthusiastic sitting outside at 3 am in the dark. For the fear of missing my bus I quickly finished my meal and rushed to the parking because the driver had already returned. Thank God! I was not left behind .The bus then moved slowly, crossing the U.P highways, flashing through the empty roads of roorkee, almost swinging in roundabouts of the mountains and reached the valley. Papa had already come to the bus sot and in no time we reached home. He gave me my favourite chocolates saying that he had already got it for me a day before. Mumma hugged me hard and I got weak.However I controlled my emotions.The tea was ready and the three of us began our discussions over it. I slept thereafter. At 10 when I got up I went straight to meet dadi. She hugged me hard and I could clearly see the happiness in her eyes. Both of us sat together and told her all that happened in delhi. Soon all the chachi’s out and we had a wonderful time. I already had ‘aloo ka paratha’ in the breakfast still I managed to eat some ‘kachoris’. Then I went to meet sukh bhaiya one of our closest neighbours. His mother welcomed me warmly and I had breakfast the third time. The same schedule continued for three days which was unbeatable because the days spend at home are the relishing of all. The next day I had to return to delhi which is the toughest task ever. Although my mother was upset while my departure but I know she controlled herself. But the heavenly feeling at home refreshes my mind and energies me for some time to go back and continue my work..

CANDLES STIFLED, EFFORT GO VAIN

After the 1947 Defense, India again fought for its dignity and power in unity. The social activist Anna Hazare did the team leading in fighting against the law with the help of whole country in support of this petition against the Indian law. Positive reactions seen and again it’s the victory of Truth. 

But is it really the victory without hassles? 
Can India never work out in peace? 
Can’t any decision can survive without controversies? 

After so many efforts dome by Anna Hazare, we finally got justice but the new CD controversy is depicting new twist in the happy ending of the story. Where media reports are saying that the CD was authentic, Anna Hazare is denying to accept the story. He claimed that CD carrying the audio clippings of the telephone conversation between Bhushan, S P Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh, about influencing the judge, was doctored. 

What is true and what is false is still a question to think. 
Is this how Indian Constitution was written? 
Is this how Indian Politics will work in the democratic country? 
Will another Anna Hazare needs to be born to fight for reality? 
All candles stifled now, hopes are again in dark dilemma, and efforts made were useless as of now, because truth is again questioned. 
Do we again need Lord Krishna to fight for truth or due to corruption Lord Krishna is also defeated?
