My Urban Transport Diary : Part I : Delhi-Noida Metro Ride

Hi All, Wish you a very good evening. I wrote this as a blog on Mypage5 site. Here it is : On 21 Jan 2010, I took my first ride on the Delhi to Noida route on Delhi Metro. The route to Noida had become active in Mid November 2009. However, after reading a few reports about trains getting stopped in between, too much rush and some cases of chaos, I was wary of taking a ride on the train. However, due to certain need, I decided to take a ride. It was not as bad as I expected. First, I went from Kashmere Gate Metro Station to Connaught Place (Rajiv Chowk) station via underground link. It was a new train coach from Bombardier company and the good thing is, there is a digital display at each train stop. Then, I changed at Rajiv Chowk station and took the train to Noida. It was a hassle free ride, nearly 25 minutes from Rajiv Chowk to Sector 18 Noida.

In an exciting finish in the first test match at Mohali, India beat Australia by 1 wicket. India had to make 216 to win, and at 1 stage India were 124 for 8. Then V.V.S.Laxman and Ishant Sharma had a superb partnership of 81 runs and took India to victory. Laxman remained unbeated on 73, and Ishant made 31. The place where I am currently staying does not subscribes to the sports channel showing this match, but I would surely love to watchthe highlights of this match.

What is this street's name ?

This is another of my Chennai experiences. I had this experience on the street where I stayed at a guest house location till 30th September morning. The street on which I lived is called as "Neelkanda Mehta" street. However, on many homes as well as some other places, it is written as "Neelkanda Metha" street. I have asked other people too. However, I have not found a satisfactory answer.

Evolution and Creationism - My Viewpoint

Whenever someone mentions something related to Evolution ; or whether God created all Animals , Humans ;or whether it is all a play of evolutionary Process; I become very much engrossed. It is a topic in which I have a unique interest . At a personal level,I favour the Theory of Evolution . True , the theory that God created everything does has its valid points . It also has many people supporting it . Points that make the God's creation Theory (as such this is not the name of the Theory , but I call it like this ) : 1)Evolutionists say that Man evolved from Apes who in turm evolved from some Amphibian creatures ,who in tuirn were evolving from Reptiles or Fish and so on . yet ; who created the most basic Life Form ? It must have been God . 2)Who decided when Big Bang has to happen or why Earth only had to be habitable long enough ?
