The
lords of the road add to Sonepat’s stench
Sonepat, November 16
There is something rotten in the
city. Stray cattle put in a sudden appearance in the midst of speeding
vehicles, dangerously disrupting the already chaotic flow of traffic.
Besides, a large number of cows and buffaloes which should be confined
to the sheds in dairy colonies are left free to roam the streets. They
graze on the lush lawns of the parks in various residential colonies and
then urinate and defecate on the roads.
Kashmiriyat:
The siege within
New Delhi, November16
The Mattoos in Delhi's Pamposh
Enclave are celebrating their son's wedding. Every one is happily busy.
But Umasheori, the groom's granny, has a forlorn look on her face. An
illiterate woman, she is left lamenting her handicap. She cannot talk in
Hindi and her grand daughter-in-law being a Tamilian cannot speak
Kashmiri.

Paucity of parking space,

vehicle, especially in what is dubbed a posh area in the sprawling
Indraprastha Extension in East Delhi. Already the parking lots within
the societies are bursting at the seams with many residents owning two
or more vehicles.
