MAA GANGA  & INDIAN RAILWAY

I don't know the data about how much is spent in cleaning our holy GANGA and what all allocations were made for NAMAMI GANGE plan, and what was proposed in the last railway budget. But what i know is nothing seems to have changed with regard to the two issues i raised. My simple question is till when we will spent crores in making roadmap for GANGA project or is it the case that each time bureaucracy and politicians will eat the provisions allocated for MAA GANGA? If there is something serious done or government claim to be committed towards cleaning GANGA it should be visible on ground too.

Now coming on second issue INDIAN RAILWAY is lifeline of nation. Till when we are going to keep railway dirty unsafe and troublesome? There is a provision of 5000 fine for throwing garbage on platform. I have two questions are these provisions for implementation of for sake of paper work 2nd if we seriously want them to be implemented are we providing passengers sufficient number of dustbins inside the train or on platform. Our Prime minister talks about Bullet Trains But there is a question do we deserve bullet trains? Answering this question will take us towards a different discussion. So i simply going to raise 5 very important issues and there solution which will change the destiny of Railways and Passengers travelling throught it.

1.CLEAN RAILWAY- from inside and out side, provide with sufficient number of dustbins and also have plan for disposal of garbage, recruit some citizens under cleanness project provide some responsibility and power to railway staffs like Station Master T.C and R.P.F , also have provisions of incentive and recognition for their success in the project.

2.CLEAN WATER- atleast clean water if not cold water.installing water purifier at stations.

3.SECURITY- In this area some work has been done by govt, my suggestion is to deploy RPF in each coach or train according to requirement to have toll free numbers specially for women for immediate action.

4.MEDICAL FACILITY- At least one doctor and two attendant must travel in each long route trains to tackle emergency medical urge and provide first aid.

5.NO LATE POLICY - We talk about Bullet trains let us first resolve the problem of late running trains. Only possible by improving the conditions of our tracks, double line,quad line, electrification proper signal facility and last but not least by showing high will power by concern authorities like Station Masters and other concern staffs.

Blessings of an old widow lady

                          Blessings of an old widow lady     

I was rather young when i first met her. It was in the summers when we used to play cricket till late evening. Her house was beside our cricket ground. More Often our ball use to go in her compound.There was a rule that whoever will hit the ball in her compound will bring the ball back. And he used to get curses and abuses from her. Once i hit the ball and got the opportunity of getting cursed. I went inside with the beating heart,slowly opened the door and saw the ball was lying close but simultaneously found her looking towards me. I decided to take permission before touching the ball. I did the same and with a polite voice i said "dadi ball lelu (grandmother can i take the ball)" and as expected her curses came " ha lelo hum to baithe hi hai dinvar tumlogo klia gate kholne ko(ofcourse take it, i have no work than to open the gate for you" I again politely said "nhi mai band kardunga( no i will close the gate)". I don't know fortunately or unfortunately again i hit the ball in her compound,again i went with the same polite gesture and this time she also had softness in her tone.

Soon they started sending me each time the ball was hit in that compound. And i also started feeling proud in bringing the ball without curse. Contrary to it i started getting halwa and sarbat with the ball. One day she asked me to sit with her she told me how after her husbands death she took care of her children and when they grew old they left her alone without any reason. Children from that colony used to make mockery of her and they use to make fun of her this pre-judiciously affected her thoughts about children and her behavior towards them. Soon i developed an undefined relationship with her. And whenever or wherever she used to meet me she used to bombard her blessings on me. In our society widows are symbols of unluck and sinister. But for me her blessings were luckiest. This incidence and her changed behavior taught me to behave well with all specially elders and our old ones and to never get prejudice against anyone without knowing his/her situation which forces them to act that way.
