My Urban Transport Diary : Part II :Why should we ride Delhi Metro more?

Another blog I wrote for Mypage5 recently: While riding along Delhi Metro, a thought came to my mind. Delhi Metro Corporation is making many new sections to places like Badarpur, Airport, Gurgaon etc. It has taken loans from Japan, as well as other sources. These routes are very very beneficial to the public, as they get faster alternatives to the current buses, autos options. Moreover, Metro trains cause less pollution, thus helping not only with pollution control, yet also helping in improving our health in a way. This makes it imperative for Delhi Metro Corporation (DMRC) to make more money out of its operations. This is where, we the public, can help. Whenever, we can take a ride on the Metro, we should do it. This does not mean that someone takes a flight or a taxi from somewhere to ride a Metro Train. Yet, when possible, we can take the Metro Train. This would help DMRC to fund its projects and in turn help us, the public. While it might sound bizzare, yet do give a thought to this .

India's exciting one wicket win over Australia in Mohali test

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 ? True , Mars also has some signs of Life Supporting conditions , but no Life has been detected as such . 3)Why Man only...
