Road trip to Dongaon

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

As Huzurala TUS is in Dongaon, me and my family with families of my brother and sister, went on a road trip to Dongaon for a day to be spent there i.e. Sunday and attend Waaz of Shahadat Imam Hasan AS and perform deedar of Aqa Maula TUS and Mufaddal Maula TUS and also perform ziyarat of Maulaya Nooruddin QR.

We left in a Qualis (7+4) and was a 9hr 30min travel each side with adequate stopovers on way for refreshment and food.

Overall, a superb trip to be long remembered and cherished.

Malls in Nagpur

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Malls in Nagpur are in general a failure. I think that the Mall Management is very much responsible for this due to their policies.

Couple of days earlier, I had been to The Empress Mall, the mall charged me INR 10/- for parking my vehicle in their premises. So how do they expect more foofalls in the mall. Simply put, less footfalls, less visitors, less business, and mall fails. How does the mall management think that we will pay Rs10/- for just parking our vehicles their ?

While discussing this issue with my friends, I came to know that Eternity Mall also charges Rs 5/- for parking of vehicles.

About some days ago, I read somewhere (I don’t remember if it was in print of paper), that Eternity Mall is facing shortage of footfalls; now I understand the reason for that.

I think that they should make parking FREE for say 4 hours as is in practice in Dubai, UAE in malls. After that, charge them nominal if they are not making any purchases in the mall. If they make purchase of some fixed amount they get an hour extra free and so on.

Otherwise, the future seems blink.

Grow up Malls in Nagpur, else you will fail.

Deepawali — The Festival of Lights

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Deepawali or Divali is generally called in slang — the festival of lights — was celebrated with great enthusiasm yesterday at Nagpur.

But, surprisingly, what I saw around, was total chaos.

The roads are being daily (even without the festival around) are being cleaned till 9 or 9.30am. While most of the shops open up early, atleast the daily needs shop and the children go to school. And the roads are not clean. Where is Cleanliness ? Is NMC reading this ?

Most of the signals, on the squares, where I travelled, I saw the signals being run on Emergency, rather than in normal mode. The Traffic Police personnel as always, were sitting 200 meters after the signal (you know better why this happens). While in normal mode, people tend to not to follow the traffic rules, so how does the corporation expect people to follow rules when the signals are running on emergency mode ?

Yesterday evening, or rather night, at around 9.45pm, the roads had visibility of around 300-400 meters because of the smoke from fire crackers.

Happy Deepawali.

Hyderabad: I’m impressed

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Had been to Hyderabad for two days to attend marriage function of my friend.

We left on Saturday night and were scheduled to return by Monday morning, but trains were cancelled / late due to the Telangana strike and hence returned on Monday evening reaching back on Tuesday Morning.

Except the train cancellation / late running, there we saw no effect of the strike in the life of people living in Hyderabad.

As we had nothing to do on Monday, we made a tourist reservation on Monday and went for Hyderabad Darshan and saw the following:

Birla Temple

H E H Nizam Museum

Chow Mohalla Palace

Salarjung Museum

Charminar (Drive through)

Mecca Masjid (drive through)

Golconda Fort

N T R Garden

Lumbini Park (drive through)

Husain Sagar (drive through).

 

Overall it was an fantastic trip, we enjoyed every minute of it.

I and my friends, we all were impressed with Hyderabad — the city of Nizams. Nagpur has lot to learn from it, it was clean (despite strike), big roads, traffic manners, regular city bus service, extremely cheap eataries — good quality and quantity also in it and many many more things.

Home Sweet Home

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

After living for 3+ years in Dubai, UAE, I have shifted back to Nagpur.

I remember while flying from Nagpur to Dubai for the first time, I cried, for leaving back my family and friends here. Writing this today, after 4 days of my travel, my eyes still cry, for I left behind my friends which were dearer to me. Some of them grew close to my heart while I was in Dubai, we had never met earlier, and some of them I knew since I was a small kid. Tears fell down uncontrollably while the plane took off from Sharjah Airport. As I said to one of my friends, on question of how I’m feeling at that exact moment, like a newly wed girl, happy to go to her new home, and at the same time, sad to leave her parents. Happy to find new life, sad that she will miss her old life, and soon adjust to the new life.

All said, but, I will not be able to forget all those who have made a deep impact in my heart.

Just life

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

It’s a bright sunny friday — the long waited weekly holiday. Life just going on. Many many thoughts in mind to pour through, but cant decide on what to write and what not to write. Lot of stuff to complete.

Counting days to move to Nagpur.
