5 Reason, Why Ghaziabad deserves a big round of applause…!





The city which gave our country one of the finest rum “Old Monk” has often remained in the shadow of the national capital. Here is 5 reason why Ghaziabad deserves a big round of applause. 

1.               The multi flavored  housing societies:

The option of medium, small and high end housing societies are inviting lakhs of families from across the country to be part of this unique diversity. The mixed flavoured families  from different community and region residing in harmony, are adding to the strength of the city. Soon festival like Bihu, Onam, Pongal, Baisakhi, etc will be part of these ever welcoming housing societies, giving   Ghaziabad a distinctive reputation of The city that bonds.

2.               The Public Transport :

The city offers the cheapest and fastest mode of public transport. The average waiting time for public transports in peak hours is less than a minute. There are constant flow of tempos and buses connecting every corner of the city. The fare starts from as low as Rs 5 for 5km. The best part is, a vast majority of commuters are working women who finds the public transport safe and convenient.    

         3.            The Hindon- Hudson connection:

“The City Forest” developed on the bank of river Hindon, is almost double the size of Lodhi Garden. This 150-acre lush green park, located near the new residential blocks of Raj Nagar Extension provides wide range of recreational activities. The nature park has designated pathways for hikers, cycling track and will soon have horse riding, camel walk, deer park, etc. The rich collection of trees like Neem, Bamboo, Amla, Guava, Jamun, Arjun is making it a favorite place for different species of birds. The City Forest which already has a large variety of flora and fauna combined with other amusement activities will be an asset to the city of Ghaziabad, like the massive Central Park of Manhattan near the river Hudson in New York.

4.              The City Infrastructure:

The civic amenities of Ghaziabad are getting a face lift in line with a modern city. Be it a public toilet, foot over bridge, green dividers, underpass,  signal less traffic crossing   or a new bridge over the river Hindon, the city is offering a wide range of facilities to its residents . Every few months citizens are surprised with “ärray a bhi ho gaya ….. wo bhi ho gaya”


5.         The Gateway to Holiday Destinations:


Plan a weekend holiday trip to the hills of Uttrakhand on Friday afternoon and by mid-night you will be at your favorite resort. You need not need to worry about the traffic jam. Skip off directly to any of the hill station, camping site or pilgrimage and return back rejuvenating yourself. There cannot be a better place than Ghaziabad to equally enjoy the best of urban facilities and the serene landscape of the Himalayan ranges.

A personal tribute my first Captain Pinku da( Rajnesh Sarma)

Image
At our ancestral house in Tezpur, every year during the Durga Puja, we will invariably find Pinku da, quietly watching the evening Aarti, from the far end, wearing a neat attire. An opportunity to stand beside him and share all my adventures of last one year is what I look forward to. An acknowledgement, a smile or a word of compliment from him, makes me super happy. So, every puja I always used to look up for those rare moments. Pinku da, was probably the first person in my life whom I started admiring. When I was around 8-9 years old, he was the captain of the Kolibari Cricket Club and during those days my only goal in life, was to earn a place in KCC team, even if it is the 12 th  man. So, I always try to do good deeds, so that I can be in good books of Pinku da. He was like a walking encyclopedia of the world news. In absence of google or internet, our only window to interesting facts happening across the world was through Pinku da. After the practice sessions are over, Pinku d...

My father was Poor …..Illusion, I believe

Image
     My father  used to take me on his bicycle to watch football matches. We had to share a mango among five of us, my two elder sisters, mummy, papa and me. We always travelled by public transport. I never asked my father to buy me a magnetic pencil box because I knew  designer box was not meant for us. He used to take me to the tailoring shop to have a couple of outfits stitched only twice in a year i.e  before Durga puja and Bihu. Today I take my daughter for a movie in an air conditioned car. I buy her the dolls she likes, the dresses she wants. She thinks I am rich. I can even buy her an airplane, she thinks.   My father built a house which took years to complete. He never thought of buying a car. The only luxury we had was a black & white portable television, a HMV record player and a Philips radio. Today I have the latest television, I have a big car and I have a house. One more thing which I have in abundance tod...

A tribute to R D Sharma

Image
A tribute to R D Sharma .... Rameshwar Dutt Sharma was an ordinary man, born  in  Purmafi , a sleepy village in Muzaffarnagar  District of Western Uttar Pradesh, where people mostly breath hookahs , talk politics and harvest  sugarcane. He neither breathed, talked or  harvested like the rest of them, he only played Volleyball. He might not be an Arjuna awardee, but he was a perfectionist not less than Lord Arjuna himself. He was not a political leader but had followers across the Nation, not a management graduate but inspired many a management guru. Perhaps he was not God but among the people who knew him, he was worshipped from their hearts. Courage or wisdom, determination or humanity, honesty or humour....... name it, he had it. After brief stints with UP police and Mohan Mekins , Pandit ji as he is popularly known joined  ONGC volleyball team in the early eighties.  That was just the beginning of a glorious era. Throughout his career ...
