Achhe din aane waale hai (Good days are coming) was the hindi slogan of the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) for 2014 Indian general election. It was coined by the BJP's Prime Minister candidate Narendra Modi, with the intention for the prosperous future for Inida. Here is a short story by VijayLaxmi that proves achhe din are still on. It was the day from the 11th month of calendar, day 9th - yes 9th of Nov 2018 when Vijaylaxmi boarded the Humsafar Express from Pune. She was travelling back to Vadodara. After a couple hours of journey, Vijaylaxmi realized that the AC vent above her seat wasn't working. She immediately sent a complaint through as SMS to the complaint cell number of Railways. She quoted her PNR number in the SMS. Within a minute she received acknowledgement and an OTP. The attendant came to her seat in 5 minutes. He immediately attended to the problem and asked her the OTP of the problem Vijaylaxmi had faced. She received another SMS asking if the problem was

Sundog My biggest question - Do you wake up early? If you don't, and usually wake up late, try waking up and getting up early in the morning for several days. When I say to wake up, it's not just wake up, but get out of your bed, wash your face and take a warm shower, you will feel energized. One can discover early morning hours are so peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. There is a magical and pleasant quietude. No loud noise, no yelling and no errands to run. No one to disturb or distract you. One can choose to meditate, take a walk, read or write, or anything one can enjoy the piece before starting their day. In the pen name of T ammanna. 28th Nov, 2018 was a beautiful morning when Tamanna felt the cool winter breeze touching her soft cheeks and blowing right through her hair. Standing tall in her room's balcony she praised the morning beauty, its silence, sound of chirping birds, and the color changing sky - from dark shade it was turning to orange and the

Its a tough life, Shift workers are more likely to be fat lazy panda who can sleep any time. Boo. Being a shift worker is tough enough. The painful truths only a shift worker knows. There is nothing called like a WEEKEND Unfortunately, for an unlucky section of us working in shift, that Friday feels are nonexistent and there are no Saturday lie in. Making plans with your regular working hours, trying to find pace to celebrate the outing is impossible. It is better to tell you month in advance to plan going out, so that you can make a rota request. While everyone was working weekdays you were feeling alone and undisturbed of odd off. And when everyone is partying, you'r working on weekends. Forgetting the week Then there's how you forget what day or week it is. It's normal people's Friday, but you started the week on Saturday before. So brain thinks its Sunday. What is life? My life right now is like that Rihanna song ... work work work work w

PC: Gajendra I have always heard and read about exclusive rides on Hardly davidson or Bullets who navigate through Google Maps or by asking locals. These bikers ride to remote places or can say to the stunningly beautiful places on this earth. However, this post is not about such Grand Tour, but a short ride which we (me and my better half) covered from Vadodara to Bharuch on NH-8. Though we did not get to experience the famous road, small roads, smooth roads, flowing roads... But riding on National Highway on a two wheeler was a whole new experience. This journey took on 6th of June 2018 to cover a distance of 70 kms. We both set off on Dio Honda at 16:30 from Vadodara. On reaching the highway, ignoring the trucks and cars overtaking us one by one, we were enjoying the ride. It was monsoon season and your cannot ignore the natures beauty especially when you are driving a two wheeler which is way better than a four wheeler. When the lady is accompanying, Man allows h

Railways are lifeline of India and Mumbai lives and breaths by its local trains. Mumbai's all day and night bubbling buzzing life is quite unimaginable without the local trains in Metropolis. While traveling in Mumbai one should experience the veins of the city - "Mumbai Local Train". They link every nook and corner and are always jam packed with busy mumbaikars. I have been to Mumbai many times but never got the opportunity to try Mumbai Local. On my recent trip to Mumbai, I ended up experiencing this mode. People from all walks can be seen in the local trains. I opted for second class ladies compartment there were all sorts of working women's, loud fisherwomen, burka-clad ladies and school college girls. Once you get place to sit, the journey becomes more enjoyable Second class ladies compartment After travelling in Conditioned compartment till Mumbai Central, I took Ola cab to Sandhurst Road Station to reach Nerul Station. I took a local train seco

With every passing second city limits are expanding. Thousands of people are floating to city to fulfill their dreams. And what all you get to see is traffic, traffic and traffic. People travel with every possible mode of transport – metro, locals, cabs, and what not, just to avoid to traffic. What has best happened is the introduction of Ola and Uber cabs. Ola and Uber have made significant difference in lives of riders as well as drivers. They have given a great source of earning to thousands of drivers across India. I have traveled though cabs many times, but recently I got introduce to Ola Auto. I have heard about Ola cabs, but Ola Auto was all a different. So the experience I am sharing is my first self solo Ola trip in Auto. Booking an Ola Auto I regularly go office by my own bike, but unfortunately bike ran out of patrol. So the first thing that struck was a private auto or cab. So I decided to book Ola to work. Firstly I downloaded the app and perfor

Hungarian Rings or Devil's Circle is a sliding puzzle consisting of  two interwoven rings, which has several color labeled that you cannot take out. Challenge: The challenge is to set the balls so that the corresponding colors are next to each other. There are some variations where more than two circles are used or the two circles are not place or the balls are marked by numbers not by colors. Hungarian Rings Solution Every state is considered to be a valid solution where the four colors are coherent. In my case I have 10 balls of red, 10 black, 9 blue, and 9 yellow. Different models can have different colors but the solution here presented is with four colors. Ok, So my rings state is like this in below picture. Jumbled Rings First of all solve intuitively, one set of colors which have 10 balls(black) on the right. Then solve the next set of colors having 10 balls (red) on the left.  When this is done, try arranging the inner colors the yellow
