The Metro rail comes closer.

Ever since Sreedharan and his Metro Rail have come in, Delhi has never been the same. As more and more townships and the areas outside the metropolis - like NOIDA of UP and Gurgaon of Haryana - get linked, the increased connectivity has eased the commuting woes of the average Delhiite tremendously.

For people like me residing at Arjan Vihar at Delhi Cantt, seeing the Metro extension from Connaught Place to the airport slowly coming to life (trials have begun from the beginning of this week), has been thrilling. The 'Express Line' as it's gonna be called is going to be operational by the end of this month. The Dhaula Kuan Metro station, where work is going at a feverish pitch, is situated opposite to our area.

Three cheers to Sreedharan and his team for their commendable work. May the likes of their tribe increase for the betterment of the country!

Tailpiece.

A couple of blogs back, I'd gone gaga over the bountiful Yamuna. I was using my poetic license to romanticise the swollen river. Well, now that more and more people, dwelling alongside the river, are going through the misery of the floods, I'm in a dilemma as to whether I should continue to remain romantic!
