MESMERIZING METRO

23rd JULY 2005 IS A MEMORABLE DAY FOR ME.TODAY WAS THE DAY I STEPPED INTO INDIA’S MOST ADVANCED PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM “THE METRO RAIL”.

IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE TO TRAVEL BY METRO.EVERY THING WAS HITECH AND I FELT LIKE I WAS IN DEVELOPED INDIA.THE TICKET WAS IN THE FORM OF A TOKEN.WE GOT DOWN TO PLATFORM NO 2 FROM WHERE WE HAD TO TAKE A TRAIN TO DELHI UNIVERSITY.THE TRAIN CAME ON TIME.THE STYLISH SILVER COLOURED VEHICLE ARRIVED AT THE PLATFORM SWIFTLY AND GRACEFULLY WITH LEAST NOISE COMPLETELY IN CONTRAST TO THE INDIAN RAIL.THE INTERIOR WAS SIMPLE.THE TRAIN MOVED OUT OF STATION WITH LEAST JERKS AND SOUNDS.IT SOON REACHED ITS HIGHEST SPEED .WE REACHED THE DELHI RAILWAY STATION IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE TAKEN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR.WE REACHED DU IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR IN THE LUXURY OF AN AC COACH AT JUST Rs 10.

“DELHI METRO” SURELY IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS REALISING THE DREAM OF DEVELOPED INDIA.THANX TO E.SREEDHARAN THE MAKER OF THE METRO PREVIOUSLY KNOWN FOR HIS PROJECT “THE KONKAN RAILWAYS”.

HE BROUGHT UP THE DELHI METRO TO THIS STAGE FIGHTING CORRUPTION AND OTHER WELL KNOWN FEATURES OF INDIAN ADMINISTRATION.MOST SURPRISING THING IS THAT HE COMPLETED THE PROJECT IN RECORD TIME .

THIS PROJECT FOR SURE IS GOIN TO TRIGGER MORE SUCH DEVELOPMENTS IN OTHER CITIES OF INDIA.NOT ONLY INDIA OTHER COUNTRIES AREW LOOKING UPTO US.THIS IS GOIN TO MAKE URBAN LIFE EASY AND SAVES US FROM THE NASTY POLLUTION.

IF THERE IS ONE MAN WHOM WE HAVE TO THANK FOR MAKIN IT POSSIBLE TO REACH TO PLACES ON TIME IT IS MR E.SREEDHARAN.HE STOOD TALL AGAINST ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS.MANY PEOPLE QUESTIONED THE NEED OF METRO ANS ALSO TERMED IT AN UNNECESSARY ACTIVITY.BUT THE RESULT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.TODAY METRO IS ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE GOVERNMENT PROJECT AND SERVES THE WIDTH AND BREADTH OF DELHI EFFECIENTLY.HE HAD WITH HIS IRON RESOLVE,WILL POWER AND DETRMINATION HAS MADE THE DELHI METRO COME TRUE.HE IS THE TRUE EXAMPLE OF THE SAYING”KITES RISE,NOT WITH, BUT AGAINST THE WIND”.
