NEW DELHI,INDIA

The debate continues for ages, which is the better city to live in? Is it the political capital or the commercial capital of India? Is it Delhi or Mumbai? Both the cities provide refuge to millions of job seekers who come from different parts of India. Two metros have two different lifestyles, two different cultures. One is cosmopolitan, one is traditional. However, it's upto the individual perception that speaks for the city one is dwelling in.

Come to Delhi, the capital city of India, you will be greeted by 50 plus impressive flyovers. If it still doesn't astound you, get a round of Old Delhi, the true colour of Delhi, with monuments and lanes devoted to special cuisine, will definitely enchant you, while Mumbai's infrastructure is terrible. Stay one year or so, you will truly become a Delhiite known for its Dilliwala style – not paying bus fare, lawlessness, foul mouth…the list is long, what you don't find in Mumbai.

Mumbai -- the first impression it gives: the names of the places – that don't grimace your face, thanks to Bollywood movies and entertainment industry that we have been watching while growing up. You see people religiously maintaining a queue in bus stands which can't be seen in Delhi. Moreover, you feel that there is no "entropy" in day-to-day life activities. Life goes on lying on the windy beaches. Not to forget – a ride in interlink train comes as the testing time for you, to test your endurance and patience.

There are several other comparisons. While Delhi is too cold and too hot, Mumbai is neither cold, nor too hot. While Delhi is totally unsafe for women, Mumbai is believed to be a safe abode of the weaker sex if we neglect few infamous incidents. There are endless topics to be compared such as the terrible traffic of Mumbai, unsafe roads of Delhi or Continuous power supply of Mumbai , power and water crisis of Delhi. Debate will be on, on and on.

But at the end, both the cities are marvelous and lively in their own respect. Both the cities have their own plus and minus. Choosing the city – Delhi or Mumbai lies on what is your perspective towards life, it truly defines you.

Since its inception the Delhi Metro has become the iconic symbol of the national capital of India. You come to Delhi and you haven’t taken the ride of Delhi metro, than your journey is worthless and incomplete, even if you have watched and clicked for memory photographs of the most sought after tourist destination. Delhi metro is a must, a must destination for anyone. It is a modern day technological marvel, bisecting New Delhi and Old Delhi.

But how marvelous is Delhi metro can be witnessed if one takes a ride at pick hour time -in morning, evening or in festival time. Not only will you get astounded, astonished by the efficiency of the Delhi Metro but you will see true colour of Delhi wala. Delhi walas are well renowned for many known and unknown reasons. For some, Delhi walas are the rudest metropolitan people compared to the people of Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Again for some, especially for police, the Delhi walas are the most undisciplined people in India. For them traffic rules are there to be broken again and again. Traffic in Delhi is erratic, unpredictable even for those who are born and brought up here.

These were some unexplained perception about Delhi and Delhi walas. Coming to the Delhi Metro scenario, this is one place where one could see CEOs and the cobblers sharing the same institution, irrespective of their economic and social status.

In the peak time the Delhi Metro runs full with seats occupied, commuters symmetrically standing and some occupying the floor of the Metro in the seating position. They give the impression as if they are traveling for many days and their destination is far away. They seemed relax, content, comfortable without any affect of maya of sansarikta. Great!

While there are other commuters sharing the interlinked cabins, seeing them closely give the impression as if they are heading for a war. Eyes vigilant, body attentive, hands in motion, anxiously waiting for the order to open, so that an attack could be carried out. As soon as the doors open at a station, the cool interiors of the Metro within no moment turns violent as people standing at the station tries to get into the Metro. The nicest thing of the situation is that everything goes without any verbal altercation and hard feelings. The armies at the station and others inside the Metro, who are in the eyeball-to-eyeball contact remain silent at the battle front.

Well, if you are thinking to go click spree in the Delhi Metro Station, signboards read photography is banned, but I have seen people freely clicking inside the premises of the Delhi Metro.

What could I say about the place; after all it is Delhi where laws take shape from person to person.

Who said while in pain you don't enjoy! It is not true. At least for me I thoroughly enjoy the grueling, painful travel that I undertake daily, 6 days of a week to get to my office. The bone-breaking journey has unraveled many inhibitions, fear that was ingrained deep in me.I mean it has made me a good person. The travel has broken many myths about the place Gurgoan, even broken some unestablished myths about myself that was in my head. It is truly a new avatar at my end.

I laugh on myself like a child when I am successful to get to office before time. The journey that I took as ordeal in the initial days, now after one month I am enjoying it to the fullest, every day is a new day for me. I have discovered the true dichotomy that exists in Delhi in general, and Gurgoan in particular.

In Delhi, where getting into a place is easy, thanks to Metro and fleet of government and privately owned buses. In its neighboring mini Delhi, Gurgoan synonymous of India's growth in real estate and IT, the situation is drastic. Traveling from Delhi to Gurgaon and vice versa, it needs proper planning and execution with a tinge of savvy knowledge that can be learnt only when you are physically present.

And witnessing the dynamics of the commuters on this route is really a fun. How do they attack any cab or car plying on the Delhi-Gurgoan road, National Highway 8? The attraction between commuters and cabs is similar to attraction and repulsion effect between iron and magnet. Though there is no theory that describes the commuters and cabs.

As soon as a cab halts, commuters, all office goers literally attack the driver with a volley of questions - Duala Kuan jayegi, Saket jayegi, Wazirpur jayegi....? And those who gets the cab going to their destination, getting into the cab comes as a struggling moment, since one has to compete with his fellow passengers.

And all this love-hate, success-failure takes place with me on the road of Delhi Gurgoan road. When I am successful, I treat myself with a chilled champagne. It is a moment of success, I celebrate it by taking omlette or boiled eggs with my friend Kushal.

Here is the plan that I undertake very often while going to office. For getting at time in office, I leave home exactly at 8 am and take a bus to Naraina, Ring Road from Inder Puri.

The real journey starts from here. The mode of vehicle determines, how I will reach Gurgoan, the two-third journey to my office. I prefer cab since it takes less time and it is comfortable compared to the bus journey where getting a seat is a distant dream.

As soon as I get down from the bus here in Naraina. My eyes start scanning all the cabs plying on the road automatically, without any external stimuli. God knows which cab turns out to be the one I was searching for!

Most of the time I am successful to get a cab. Drivers had a gaga time earning extra money from us, I came to know, as much as we are dependent on them, they are equally dependent on us. The drivers of the cabs and the commuters like me are both hawk-eyed in the fulfillment of their requirements. They get money and I get a pleasant ride. The ecosystem is built, and it runs smoothly.

The journey from Naraina to IFFCO chowk, Gurgoan cost Rs 15. Traffic is erratic and unpredictable. One can see fleet of bikes in this chill environment of Delhi, swirling here and there in the road struggling to get a space. The scene is beautiful , all happening on the road. Not an inch is left vacant on the road.

While at Toll Gate, which is presently not running. All speeding vehicles gives the impression of the volume of water gushing out from the tunnels of the dam. And seeing ourselves part of this gushing vehicles effect, it is altogether a memorable moment.

And after a pleasant ride which takes more than 45 minutes, I get down at IFFCO Chowk. From there I head towards my next journey which takes place in a rickety auto rickshaw. The auto rickshaw visible here in Gurgoan, I suppose must be shown in the Discovery Channel or Travel TV. I really mean it. An auto rickshaw accommodates 15 people! And it goes to 20 people if situation demands!!

Using the same mode of travel I go to Rajiv Chowk, and there to the place of job. This ritual, which has become part of my life since one month has vanished the fear, the traveling fear about Gurgoan. Now, the thought that Delhi is inaccessible after 4pm doesn't haunt me, doesn't disturb me. I look cool and relax at 8 pm, here, deep inside in Gurgoan, Haryana where offices work 24x7, 365 days of a year.

I suppose in this one month's to-and-fro journey I might have shared with you the same seat in cab or have bitterly struggled with you!

She is oomph of many, and for some the most funniest celebrity ever visible in the Indian film industry. Yes, she is Rakhi Sawant of bollywood, more so of the tinsel world of television in the recent times. She was visible today again on “Breaking News” item of a television news channel. Reason. Wardrobe malfunction.

The news channel ran the so called wardrobe malfunction news item repeatedly in the prime time. I was laughing on the news channel of running this item. There were, obviously, many reasons for which I was laughing and amusing myself on the often repeated bare back footage of Rakhi Sawant.

First, the program in which sexy Rakhi Sawant along with her boyfriend were dancing was not the LIVE show, so there was no point showing the item in the prime time. The program that we all have watched comes after it had gone under the scissor of a video editor. So, there was no point in showing a program[news]of the edited program. How a program which has been edited can become the news? Only God, and of course, the director of the show knows and has the answer.

Secondly, the show in which the hot and sexy Rakhi Sawant was performing, after the wardrobe malfunction it could have been shoot again. But it was not done! She completed the song as it should have been done. The director of the show did not stop the camera rolling. Obviously, the director wanted the cheap media mileage by trampling upon the respect of a media savvy Rakhi Sawant.

Whatever may be the reason, whether it was pre-meditated, planned act to get media space or it was really a news to their standard, the only fact coming crystal clear was that the news was indeed of bad taste. At the end I could say Rakhi Sawant is the female “Shah Rukh Khan” among the actresses in bollywood.

Of these 42 years in this world, 18 years have been spent maintaining a super duper successful career in Bollywood.

Shah Rukh Khan says - I feel more stronger and enthusiastic today. In fact, when I play with my kids’ friends, I don’t use age as a criteria to perform less. I still think I can beat kids half my age at half the things I do, physically I mean. Age has become a number for me now. It doesn’t matter that a few more grey strands have come. I always had grey hair which I have been dyeing for the last five years. I feel I am the most looked after person in the world.


He adds - I don’t look at age as a reason for making more intelligent and wiser decisions. I don’t think what I did earlier was wrong and what I do now is right. It’s the wrongest notion that older people are smarter and wiser, I feel they are just older. In the film industry, someday I read I am ruling more, some days less, someday a younger star has toppled me. I think I am beyond all this now. But yes, it’s been 18 years and people say I have been the King of Bollywood, and I like it. I am not pompous but I don’t know how it feels not to be successful. For me, there’s always been one way and that is success. So I don’t know how it’s not to be the King of Bollywood. I feel it’s my birthright now.

And about Chak De India did not make it to the Oscars? He says - I am happy with the Filmfare award. The Oscar is not something that I will cry about. If I get it, good, if not — it’s ok.

Moreover, about his new ab-solute look. He added - I know people have been saying that I got it through special effects, surgery, and steroids, but I know how much hard work I put into this. When I was working out, I thought, I can’t have bigger biceps than Salman, a stronger chest than John or even wider shoulders than Hrithik, so I said why not concentrate on my abs. See, I have a very oriental kind of physique, like Bruce Lee, so I guess it’s standing out

The whole bollywood, perhaps, revolves around the Khan brothers Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and of course Saif Ali Khan. Amongst these unbreakable pillars, if there is one hero who is the most bankable and most sought after is Akshay Kumar a.k.a Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia.

Cinemagoers love him for his persistent effort to establish himself in the Hindi film industry. If all of them cannot love him, they can’t even ignore him. Such is the footings of this actor in the psyche of movie crazy Indian sub-continent.

He is the perfect hero of the bollywood. His physique is very much macho, his style fabulous and trendy but very much Indianised. He has got all those elements for which people watch Hollywood movies. If he does Matrix like actions, people love it. Furthermore, people go gaga over his comical performances as well. He carries all those elements and traits that we all love to see.

He is the perfect hero, well without any style of his own. His style changes with every movie he does. You give him any action packed movie, true to his salt he will do justice to the role.

After all, during the 90s, Akshay Kumar was known as the highly-energetic and action-packed hero of Bollywood. Films such as Khiladi released in 1992; Mohra released in 1994 and Sabse Bada Khiladi released in 1995, helped him to establish this tag. Who can forget his first hit movie “Khiladi” in the box office?

Now, reports have come that Akshay Kumar has signed a film for Rs 41 crore, which will be directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Venus, has brought him into the big league of highly sought after heroes in the Bollywood. Why not? After all, the success rate of his films has been phenomenal this year.

A quick cursory glance of his movies released this year shows that none of them was a flop. Namastey London was liked by masses and critics alike and was a hit at home and abroad, next comes the Sajid Khan’s Heyy Babyy, which proved to be a superhit at the box-office. Coming to his recent release Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the movie has done remarkably well in India and in the UK market as well.

He is really a hero, a hero who has been striving hard in the Bollywood for two decades for entertaining us non-stop. He is a Khiladi, a true Khiladi.

Yes, Shah Rukh Khan is at its pinnacle of his profession – acting. His movies are blockbusters in the box office. His name makes people to throng the cineplexes. And he has been doing the same from his first movie Deewana, to the recently released movie Chak De India.

In the 90’s Shah Rukh Khan was ruling the roost. Almost all his movies in the 90’s: Deewana, Baazigar, Darr, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Karan Arjun,
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Koyla, Pardes, Dil To Pagal Hai
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Baadshah – made him the star, an undiminished star of the bollywood. He conquest the bollywood and in the same stroke conquest the overseas market as well, by becoming the most saleable actor.

Who can forget his performance in the movies Baazigar, Darr, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Koyla, Pardes, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. These films left an indelible mark in the history of bollywood.

He has cast the same magic in the 2000 year plus. He has got many feathers in his cap, and the latest from his coterie of hit movie is Chak De India, which he thinks helped him to establish his name in the cult status of the bollywood actors and actresses. He himself said he was waiting for such movie to be made.

Coming to the 21st century first decade he has given many hit films from Mohabbatein,
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Devdas, Chalte Chalte, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer-Zaara, Swades, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Don - The Chase Begins Again, to Chak De India, released this year. His each movie is skating new heights. And about his forthcoming movie Om Shanti Om, let us see in comparison to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Sawariya, what magic the movie play in the box office and meet the expectation of the critics as well as from his fan followings. It has to be seen.

It is not that his journey to the status that he has gained was achieved in a day or two. Behind this, his innate talent, never-say-die attitude, and of course competition-with-himself has been some factors that has come to play in his success. If you think there are more reasons that made him the Baazigar of the bollywood, do comment.

Let us see how Shah Rukh Khan tackles the trasition from Chak De India to Om Shanti Om!

NEW DELHI,INDIA

On the same date Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om and Ranbir Kapoor’s Sawariya is releasing. The producers and directors have given their best shot to keep it floating in the media. You walk past in the Delhi Metro Stations[in the blog]; you will find advertisements of these movies. You open any website; you will be bombarded with these two movies.

Stakes are high in both the movies. After all one is from Shah Rukh Khan and another is form Sanjay Leela Bansali’s debunte actor Ranbir Kapoor, son of Rishi Kapoor. Shah Rukh Khan’s izzat is on stake after the success of Chak De India! He has to prove that he is not one-movie actor.

And about Ranbir Kapoor, I suppose he is more tensed than the Baazigar. It is his first movie. For him, it is a sail or sink situation.

Many would be thinking, or would have started thinking the future of Ranbir Kapoor, comparing with him with Shah Rukh Khan. Who is more handsome, Shah Rukh Khan or Ranbir Kapoor?

One cannot predict the future of Shah Rukh Khan especially at the time when he is giving one hit after another. He is a great gun of the bollywood. His kingship cannot be challenged at this time.

But the charm in his face is dissolving. He is no more the same cutie Shah Rukh Khan of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. In contrast, Ranbir Kapoor has the same cutie looks. He is handsome but comparing him with Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge actor is somewhat done in hurry.

Given that he is handsome than the Chak De India coach, it is not necessary that he will run in the bollywood. Since bollywood have seen many actors who were really cutie in look but they were failure. The list is long. Aashiqui boy Rahul Roy, Kumar Gaurav are case in point. Sometimes a good look of an actor or actress is disadvantageous to them.

But there lies an exception to every rule; Aamir Khan is one, who has matured with his baby face to macho look. Who can forget his first movie Qayamat Se Qayamant Tak opposite Juhi Chawla.

Taking without any bias, and putting weigh, let us see whose movie is more handsome than the other in the market and win the applause of the audience. Handsome is as handsome does!

After Chak De India, where does Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om stand?

That’s a big question. Indeed a very tough question to give a satisfactory answer. Shah Rukh Khan’s previous flick Chak De India![in this blog]attained a cult status in the Hindi film industry, a voluminous film industry where thousands of films are released in a year. In this messy film industry the film Chad De India has made a history of its own, moreover Shah Rukh Khan’s history as well. Shah Rukh Khan got what he was craving for in his whole professional career.

Now, his upcoming movie is Om Shanti Om. His fans, not to mention are impatiently waiting for its release. They do have a mountain of expectation from the movie, and from the Shahrukh Khan’s role.

Their expectation can vanish like fog disappears, if they do not see something extra from Shahrukh Khan. It would be tough on the part of the actor to stand to this expectation.

After Koyla, Om Shanti Om would be his next movie which is based on reincarnation formula, but it has a tinge of 70’s time period. So, people would be seeing the colour and texture of this period when Jeetender, Rajesh Khanna and Dev Anand were ruling the film fraternity and the hearts of the youngsters.

If Shah Rukh Khan can sail through the tsunami of emotions of his fans that they expect from him, he can definitely be called Baajigar, the Badshah, Chamatkar, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, and what not. O! He may be called Om!

NEW DELHI,INDIA

In the movie Om Shanti Om, 31 actors and actresses of the bollywood are sharing the same set and camera in the title song – Om Shanti Om. The actors and actress are not only of the present day like Kajol, Shilpa Shetty, Tabu, etc but of the yesteryears like Jeetender, Mithun Chakroborty[in this blog], Dharmendra, and many, all put in one song. It would be fun to see all these heroes and heroines of the bollywood.

What on the earth is making the song interesting and amusing? Of course, to see all these actors and actresses performing their own style for which they are know. Jeetender’s jungle type of dance, Mithun’s Disco style, Govinda’s Mein to Raate Ja Raha Tha style, and Dharmendra’s no movement dance.

Its making was really funny. And I suppose the song in the movie Om Shanti Om would be really full of fun and energy. What are you expecting from the movie and from the particular song? Do comment. Well, I would love to see Mithunda’s dance.

The magic of Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit will be again hit the cinema screen after 6 years of oblivion from the Hindi film fraternity. In the movie Aaja Nachle, the Tezaab girl is showing her appearance; and people, especially her fans are eagerly waiting for its release.

She dominated the Hindi film industry since her first "hit" film Tezaab opposite Anil Kapoor, that was in 1988. If one goes through her career statistics, she has been truly dominating the movie industry, in that industry where the life span of heroines are much shorter than their actors. From her first movie Abodh, released in early 80's to her previous movie Devdas, released in 2002; she has acquired an iconic status where, it is believed, no actress has since been able to replace her, her magical spell.

She has got many feathers in her cap to boast off, from the movie Tezaab, to Ram Lakhan, to Beta; adding to it Khalnayak, Pukar and the most recent Devdas in her long list of hit movies. She got married to Sriram Nene in the year 1999 and got settled in United States. Who can forget her role in the movie "Dil" opposite Aamir Khan, “Saajan” against Salman Khan and “Hum Aapke Hain Kaun”, the blockbuster movie!

Now, the same Madhuri Dixit who has ruled in the hearts of millions of youngsters will be again hit the silver screen playing the role of a theatre actress in Aaja Nachle under the banner of Yash Raj Films. A million dollar question that is in everyone's mind is - Can she able to spell the same magic, revert the same dancing steps?

In recent times it has become a trend in television to showcase the songs of a to-be launched movie in many musical programmes. The contestants participating in the so called talent search programmes sings the movie's songs; by doing so they not only popularise the songs in the midst of their fan followings but helps in the promoted-publicity of the movie.

It has become a necessity on the part of the directors or say producers to give maximum publicity through this programmes, since it has a direct impact on the drawing rooms all across the nation, even abroad. If one goes through all the musical programmes, dance programmes, or in any sort of contestants- driven shows, there is a flurry of sponsored edition in that particular show.

In these shows, the publicity of the movie takes place in a very entertaining manner. The truth is that at the bottom of this special edition that are being telecasted comes dynamics of the market, the much luring market driving these shows.

Depending upon the TRP rate of a programme, it is being approched strategically. So, in those shows where the TRP rate of a programme is high, and carry a whirlwind impact, one would see not only the actors and actresses showing their presence but the whole team being present there. A case in point is the programme Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, a music driven show in the Zee TV where recently the whole team of the movie Das Khahaniyan were present from the director to the actors and actresses, and to the singers.

It was a much subtle publicity stunt to discuss about the movie and what the movie is all about. Their presence in the show builds up a direct publicity amongst the viewers of the show. Here the publicity is mutual. The show not only boasts of the presence of the actors and actresses, but they capture a much bigger audience. On the other hand, the particular movie gets no cost publicity to a larger audience.

Not to forget, the communities that cropped up in the social networking site like Orkut before the movie hits cineplex. This media also helps to gauge where the public is swaying. Thus, giving invaluable inputs to the success and a failure of a movie. You name a movie, any upcoming movie, you will find there exists a community being coined to the movie.

Bollywood is maturing, and so is its publicity tactics.

He is Amanat Ali, a contestant of the Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa musical show, who with his song Tujhase Naaraaz Nahi Zindagi (available in esnips.com)from the movie Masoom not only brought tears in the eyes of the all the judges and guest stars present there in the show, but in the eyes of all television viewers. His soulful song absolutely mesmerized everybody.

No doubt, all the singers in the last leg of the show - Aneek Dhar, Amanat Ali, and Raja Hasan are best of the best and carry a mass fan following. All about Amanat Ali is totally different and unique. Not to forget Tushar Sinha was also in the competition.

His last song in the show Tujhase Naaraaz Nahi Zindagi came as a break in the flow of the show. It had a drifting effect. The colour of the show totally changed after he sang the song. One can say he infused life in the song. It is a different story the song itself is heart touching and it relates to everyone's life, but singing the song maintaining the credibility is not everyone's cup of tea. Singer like Mika tried the song taking the opportune time in the show, but he miserably failed to mesmerize the audience, not only of the viewers but also of the whole team of Das Kahanaiyan movie.

Amanat, a ardent fan of Shah Rukh Khan, cried while he was singing the song. And it was felt by all the viewers sitting in front of the their TV set. The finishing touch he gave to the end leg of the show cannot be better than the way he finished.

Music doesn't have any boundary, and Amanat Ali from Pakistan has proved the same. When he sings people forget the tag of nationality he carries. People just forget everything. Now when the programme has entered into the declaration of the winner. It doesn't matter who wins in the musical show, whether the title holder is from India or from the other side of the fence. They all are talented in their singing trait.

Lyrics of Tujhase Naaraaz Nahi Zindagi [courtesy yash.wordpress.com]
tujhase naaraaz nahi zindagi, hairaan hoon main
o hairaan hoon main
tere masoom savalon se pareshaan hooN main
o pareshaan hoon main

jeene ke liye socha hi na tha, dard sambhalane honge
muskuraoon to, muskurane ke karz utaarne honge
muskuraoon kabhi to lagata hai
jaise hontonn pe karz rakhaa hai
tujhase …

aaj agar bhar ayi hai, boondein baras jaayengi
kal kya pata inke liye aakhen taras jayengi
jaane kahan gum kahan khoya
ek aansu chhupake rakha tha
tujhase …

zindagi tere gum ne hamain rishte naye samajhaye
mile jo hamain dhoop main mile chhaanv ke thande saaye

o tujhase …

By Pranati Saikia, NEW DELHI,INDIA

Crying faces, bleeding bodies, heart rending wails echoed Delhi sky once again on Sunday morning. This time the mishap took place on Mathura Road in Badarpur, near Aligaon crossing. The killer Blueline again created havoc by ramming into 15 people waiting for bus on the pavement. It caused death to 7 people and left few seriously injured and many panic stricken. It is alleged that the driver was drunk. He lost control and hit people standing on the road.

What’s going on? It is not the first time when such rash driving and irresponsibility robbed people of their lives. These series of accidents are not just matter of concern but taking the form of hovering fear of death. Who knows who will be the next victim? Whether one will get back home safely or not, cause boarding and deboarding Blueline buses itself becoming fear of invisible death, making boarders victim of cruel destiny, without one’s awareness.

Buses are one of those amenities which are meant for people’s convenience but these accidents have brought forth the gruesome pictures of human error, negligence of moral duty and ignorance. Consequently, now buses are gradually becoming danger to human lives.

Drivers and conductors often seem to be short-tempered, excited and indulge in speed competition with one another, apply sudden brakes to the buses and make passengers to suffer due to their whimsical and careless driving.

Delhi government has taken few concrete steps to stop these accidents. But still these life taking incidents are happenings.

It is important that the driving hands must be experienced. The man on the driving seat must be balanced, careful and vigil towards his duty as a driver. Driver and conductor must have friendly approach and moral behavior besides having professional ethics. Sufficient time must be given to passengers while boarding and deboarding the bus, so that they could be well settled.

On the other hand, traffic rules are being set to be followed but these accidents have implied clearly that rules are being violated by the Blueline buses. Moreover, speed-governors have also been tempered with by most of the buses. In this context, the government must take strict action against these violations. Deployment of PCR vans are not only the solution. The intentional crimes must be awarded with capital punishment as these killing people.

We people also ought to be conscious of our rights as passengers and pedestrians.
