Former President A P J Abdul Kalam's seven-point resolve on the occasion of ensuing Republic Day (2008):

1. Wherever I am, a thought will always come to my mind -- *What can I give?*

2. Whatever the mission I will do, my motto will be *to work with integrity and succeed with integrity.*

3. I will always remember that *my winged days, be not spent in vain*.

4. I realise I have to set a great goal that will *lead me to think high*, work and realise the goal.

5. My greatest friends will be *great human beings, great teachers and great books*.

6. I will firmly believe that no problem can defeat me; *I will become the captain of the problem, defeat the problem and succeed.*

7. My National Flag flies in my heart and I will bring glory to my nation.

Improvement in Bus Service for the Commuters of Hari Nagar

URGENT PLEASE
Reminder 1st : January 25, 2010

The Chairman/Managing Director
Delhi Transport Corporation
Delhi Parivahnalaya, IP Estate
NEW DELHI-110002

Sub. : Improvement in Bus Service for the Commuters of Hari Nagar

Dear Sir,

A very large number of residents of G Block, Shiv Nagar, Virender Nagar, Asha Park, Usha Park, Fateh Nagar, Pratap Nagar, Delhi Govt. flats at Tihar Jail Complex, BF block and many blocks of DDA flats, are being denied direct bus service to famous destinations like Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, Hanuman Mandir, RML, CP, ITO, Laxmibai Nagar, Mayur Vihar, Anand Vihar Bus Terminus and New/Old Delhi Railway Stations.

There used to be a few routes originating from Hari Nagar Depots, which have been discontinued, and other routes have not replaced these routes. There are three DTC depots at Hari Nagar but not a single route originates from this very important place. Every day the residents of above mentioned colonies learn about low floor buses being deployed on many routes in West Delhi but there is no effort as yet to introduce these low floor buses on routes covering these colonies.

In the past, the ACP, Traffic(West) had pointed to your office as also to Delhi Govt’s Transport Department about the prevailing congestion at Hari Nagar Clock Tower from where route numbers 73 and 108 are originating. To overcome this problem, it was also suggested that both these routes could be extended to Hari Nagar Depots because of sufficient parking place in front of the three bus depots. But this proposal is yet to see light of the day. In the recent past, some low floor buses have been deployed on route 73 but residents of our areas have to first reach this place from their respective colonies to avail themselves of this service because the distance is not walkable.

You are requested to kindly depute your experts to verify the above stated facts and report back to you the dire need for extension of routes 73 and 108 and also to introduce new routes from Hari Nagar Depots for important destinations.

Thanking you and hoping to have immediate action on residents’ grievances,

Yours truly,
TPS OBEROI,
Vice-President

Mobile phone problems ?

I am also having a similar horrifying experience with Airtel. I have not been receiving signals at my residence since March last year. Their executives had visited my premises in April and July 2009 and had verified the complaint. They had promised that my grievance will be redressed within a week or ten days. Nothing happened. Meanwhile their advance rental of Rs.1000 for next two years became due some time in August-Sept. last year and this Airtel added to my bill making it somewhat around Rs.1300. This again got enhanced to over Rs.1500 with late payment penalty, etc. My compllaint of not receiving signals inside the house continued till October 2009 and this company withdrew the outgoing and income facility for non-payament of bills. I made them clear that as they have beenfound deficient in service for not days, weeks but for long eight months, I will not pay them any amount till this problem of mine is rectified land I am also compensated for bearing with the problem. Every time I had to rush out to my corridor as and when there was a call. Similarly, for making a phone call also, I was required to move out of the house at a place where I got signals. Like the above blogger, I was also sent a legal notice from Airtel's solicitors, Mr. Narender Kumar, and was given some time to pay the bill or face charges under various criminal sections including 420 for retention of sim card, etc. I took the matter with TRAI, Airtel's Appellate Authority and Customer care people as also with the concerned Ministry in the GOI. Ms. Aarti Handa from Airtel's Appellate Authority insisted me that all other charges have been waived but I should make payment of Rs.375.41 immediately. She did not respond to my query 'If their total outstanding amount included Rs.1000 towards advance rentals for next two years. Last week this mail was sent to her and others including their lawyer for action at their end. Mean while, our Welfare Association's mail ID was hacked and despite of asking Ms. Aarti Handa to forward my own mail sent to her and others through my hacked Email ID, she did not respond. This is the state of affairs with this internationally known company, Bharti Airtel Ltd.

DJB AND OUR WATER METERS

How far and how long we the ordinary Citizens of India ( Mera Bharat Mahaan) can cry ? Now the tears have also dried just like our Taps " Long live DJB".

There is no end to such debates, discussions or representations. Are we not doing this for the past 50-60 years ? The entire system and rules and regulations have to be totally scraped and all new and advanced plants and machinery, Charges, the staff, the DJB systems needs overhauling to start afresh and use or misuse of water LAWS, all loop holes must be plugged, enough is enough now lets be not at the mercy of DJB officials or un-lawful misuses of drinking water in Delhi.

If no awareness/ action by the Ministry firmly on the above points, we all should be rest assured we shall have to live in such obslete systems for our life time at least. In my child hood I use to read small boards in President's Estate, " DESH KI BHALI KAY LEIA PANNI AUR BIJLI KA THEEK ISTAMAL KAREYN " Be good citizens first.Let us think on this quote.
