Railways to run spic and span Janata Ahar plazas

seoforever — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:05:03 +0000

“You can enjoy food for Rs.10 in a bright and clean ambience”

11 food plazas in pipeline; 4 of them will come up this month

Costliest combination on the list is fish curry-rice at Rs. 35

NEW DELHI: Eating at railway-run outlets at stations will soon be a new experience. The new series of Janata Ahar eateries will present a bright and clean ambience along with an attractive price line menu.

Eleven such food plazas are in the pipeline and four of them will be opened during this month itself. Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee will launch the model outlet at Howrah in the next few days, and the ones in Chennai, Bangalore and Secunderabad will come up by month-end.

The other seven in Patna, Sealdah, Lucknow, Kharagpur, Gorakhpur, New Jalpaiguri and Mysore will become operational in December. Other stations will get the facility sequentially.

“You can enjoy your food at as cheap a price as Rs.10 in a bright, fresh, happy and clean ambience,” said Passenger Services Committee chairman Derek O’Brien.

With a seating capacity of at least 50, these outlets will serve the Janata meal of poori-bhaji at Rs.10. Bread pakora and plain dosa will also cost Rs. 10 each, and masala dosa Rs. 15. Aalu chop is priced as low as Rs.3.

The costliest combination is fish curry and rice at Rs. 35 and chicken curry, at Rs.30. A cup of tea (bag) is priced at Rs.4 and coffee, Rs. 5. The menus will be in the regional language, Hindi and English.

Green tables will go with yellow chairs. Waiters will sport yellow T-shirts, green trousers and a cap with a similar colour combination. The logo, too, is a design mix of these colours.

No outsourcing

The new venture will be run by the railways and not be outsourced. The restaurants being run by various operators will be taken over as and when their contracts end, and the space utilised for setting up the Janata Ahar plazas

Kushinagar Japanese Garden: The land from the past

Rajesh Sharma — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:43:54 +0000

Kushinagar is a land which makes tourist a time traveler. The temples, pillars, viharas and garden silently speak a million stories of its past glory. Kushinagar is located on the border of Uttar Pradesh. It is one of the important pilgrimage destinations for Buddhists as Lord Buddha attained Nirvana from here.

The city is filled with beautiful Buddhist relics and dazzling gardens. The most beautiful garden I found was the Japanese garden located in the heart of the city; this is one great attraction which should not be missed at any cost. It is a rock garden built with the finger prints of orient architectural style. Apart from the Japanese garden there are a few more must see attractions in the city like, the Japanese temple, Buddha Vihar, Wat Thai temple, Chinese temple, Meditation park, and Birla temple. Any tourist guide can take you there and help you understand the glory of this great city of the past.

Varanasi is the nearest airport and Gorakhpur is the nearest Railway station both these places are well connected by road to Kushinagar. There are two or three resorts near Kushinagar.

De Varanasi a Pokhara, de India a Nepal

didac2009 — Wed, 13 May 2009 10:22:11 +0000

Como a Romain le caducaba el visado indio, y no creyo oportuno permanecer ilegalmente en el pais, decidimos marcharnos de India. En realidad, me he quedado con ganas de prolongar mi estancia en Varanasi, y en India en general. Hablando con Miquel sobre nuestros itinerarios previstos, es posible que nos veamos otra vez el proximo mes de Junio en India. Si no hay grandes imprevistos, mi intencion es volver dentro de varias semanas a India, cuando Romain ponga rumbo a Francia.

Con la esperanza de que por fin se acabe el verano, tras tres meses y medio de permanente canicula, salimos de Varanasi rumbo al norte, hacia la frontera con Nepal. Tomamos un tren a Gorakhpur. La sensacion al bajar del tren fue tan caotica como en tantos otros lugares de India. Nos dio tiempo a ver como una policia azotaba un golpe con su porra de bambu a alguien que cometio la osadia de estar de pie por donde ella pasaba. De camino a la estacion de autobuses, nos encontramos con un jeep que iba a Sonauli, junto a la frontera nepali, y decidimos escapar de la ciudad en el.

En Sonauli, atravesamos la frontera en ciclo-rickshaw, parando en la precaria caseta de inmigracion india en Sonauli, y en la nepali de Belahiya. La frontera es una bulliciosa calle llena de gente y vehiculos que la cruzan sin mayor problema, ya que indios y nepalies no necesitan visado.

Nos alojamos a 4 kilometros de alli en Bhairahawa, un pueblo que mas bien parece una carretera flanqueada por casas. Un lugar en el que no habia absolutamente nada que hacer, exceptuando la aclimatacion al “jet lag”. Hay un cambio de 15 minutos respecto a India, algo aparentemente absurdo, y en realidad tambien.

Al dia siguiente huimos en tan pronto como nos fue posible huimos del lugar en un bus que dijeron que nos llevaria a Pokhara en 7 horas. El autocar, cutre y lleno, en algunos momentos con gente de pie en el pasillo y sobre el techo, era una maravilla respecto a los indios. Tanto en comodidad de los asientos como en densidad de pasajeros. Al cabo de una hora comenzaron las curvas y las cuestas, para nunca acabar. Un trazado que invitaba a la contemplacion del paisaje, y no a la lectura.

La sensacion de cerebro centrifugado me impidio certificar si el record de las 1864 curvas entre Chiang Mai y Mae Hong Son habia sido superado. Pronto, el sonido envolvente de las arcadas invadio el autocar. Despues llego el reparto de bolsas de plastico, haciendome sentir en un “deja vu” recordando Laos.

Tras 9 horas de viaje, llegamos a Pokhara, donde habiamos quedado con Pierre, un amigo de Romain. Pierre nos habia reservado ya una habitacion cercana al lago con vistas al Annapurna.

De momento nos estamos dedicando a disfrutar de la tranquilidad, la temperatura primaveral y preparando un trekking facilito para los proximos dias.

Salut.

Habitacion con vistas: Annapurna I (8091 m) y Machhapuchhre (6093 m)

REALITY BYTES

avthedemon — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:26:43 +0000

Bewajah jine se kisi maksad ke sath marna behtar hai

dont get amused by this qoute, i heard this in a hollywood movie (ofcourse dubbed in hindi :p), and i liked it, so juz wanted to share it.

The heat has now become body-melting. The sun seems in anger, and the clouds too. And worst thing is that its not gonna end soon, will have to face it for around 2 more months.

I’ve been regular to college from last few days, but i go in the afternoon only, at around 1pm. Its too hot at that time, but my purpose is lil different , not just to attend the classes. Ha ha ha. Its really a punishment to sit in our lecture halls nowadays. The fans work very slow, no airconditioning, and even the water cooling machine stops when under pressure.

She’s been regular there days which forces me too to be the same .

Even after facing the harsh reality bytes, i don’t think i’ve much effect on me. dil kya kare jab kisi se kisi ko pyaar ho jaaye ?

i don’t know where it will lead my aimless life to? Either to a brighter side or a blackhole.

So only this much for now, next post will be in a day or two

Frustration :-( huh !

avthedemon — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:14:59 +0000

Its April today, fool’s day. Don’t take otherwise, just joking (just talking to myself, i know no one reads this ). (i started this post yesterday and finishing today.):) i didn’t went yesterday to the college. I’m now in prostho, and i can’t tolerate it a minute, and i’m ready to face any consequences (?). I just wanna get rid of it.
There days i’m facing so much of tension, so don’t wanna increase them. I don’t know why she isn’t coming to college nowadays. Everyday i go with hope that today i’ll get to get her a view, but everyday i’m disappointed. Its really frustrating. But i can’t even complain to anyone. This is the most serious problem. Its killin me from the inside., day by day..
I’m sure it will lead me to severe depression, but i can’t help. I have only two ways now, her or ↑.
I’m honest by heart, good to others (i dunno what others think), then why its happening to me only. If its the way then i request the administrator over there to call me back. Or better tell me my faults. Last time i survived but miracles don’t occur very often !

Cruelty of UP police.

Press Release

To,

The Editor

…………….

The Uttar Pradesh Police on October 28, 2008 showed yet another example of cruelty against the innocent Nepalese women by gang raping them and threatening to kill them if they dared to complain against this crime.

The 5 poor Nepalese women were on their way to the Gulf country via India to earn their livelihood. In Gorakhpur, these women were abducted and taken to Mallika hotel near Gorakhpur railway station by the U.P. policemen where two of them were gang raped and also illegally demanded Rupees 30,000 for their release.

After this matter came into light, the U.P. Police is now trying to cover this heinous crime by projecting the rape as an incident of molestation and eve-teasing.

In the name of ‘action’, two Policemen Manoj Patel and Harinder Singh were suspended and no action has been taken against involved Policemen Binay Kumar Pathak, Rajesh Kumar Pandey, Binay Kumar Singh and others and the owner of the Mallika hotel.

We, INPSF, condemn this U.P. Police brutality and demand for a C.B.I. inquiry into this matter to Government of India and the First Investigation Report (FIR) of abduction, rape and loot should immediately be filed against the involved Policemen and the owner of Mallika hotel. The medical examination of the women should be conducted which has not been done till date.

We have sent the letters of this concern to the Governments of India & Nepal asking them to intervene in this matter.
