One fine day I was in Pune waiting to catch the "Pune Darshan" bus for Pune tourism. As I was waiting for the bus, to arrive, I and my friend went to the nearby "Comesum" restaurant in the Pune Railway Station.

As we were ordering our breakfast, my eyes landed upon the picture shown below.

It is the "Junta Khaana" offered by the "Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) costing Rs. 10.

 

The second picture shows the content description of the "Junta Khaana". For clarity I will mention it here,

1.    Poori - 7 pieces (175 gm.)

2.    Sabzi - 150 gm.

3.    Pickle and mirchi

I found it really interesting. IRCTC is offering 7 pooris and sabzi in Rs. 10!

And names it as, "Junta Khaana". This clearly tells us, what is the definition of the "Junta" for the Govt.

Someone who eats food worth Rs. 10 and 25 gm poori each.

Now we clearly know as to why is the Govt. apathetic to citizen's woes. The section that the Govt. considers as "Junta" is not empowered enough to raise its voice - worse it's not even aware it needs to raise its voice. As that "Junta" is the uneducated and the unemployed lot that will eat Rs. 10 "Junta Khaana" by IRCTC.

And the section that actually does raise its voice - the educated and the aware class - someone that would NOT go for the Junta Khaana of IRCTC, the Govt. does not listen to it as by Govt's definition of Junta, this class does not come within its ambit.

Is the Govt. listening?

Sneak a Peek

Traffic Woes
All characters and incidents are real.
Finally the shit piece of code ran. Aah what a relief. All of us were so happy that we had not crossed our deadlines and now all we wanted is some relief. And no, we did not want to eat that pathetic food provided in the name of dinner in office. So pop came the idea from Yogesh, Let’s go somewhere for dinner. But every one of them had left, so I and Yogesh were left alone.
Me: But there is one more problem, I don’t feel like driving my beast in this chilly Chandigarh Winter.
Yogesh: No problem buddy, we will go in my car, will drop you home and pick you up tomorrow morning as well. You know it is on my way.
Me: Hmmm, sounds a nice idea. OK come on lets go.
Transformed into an Eskimo in the non-Arctic region stuffing myself under a pullover, a jacket on top of it, a muffler, hand gloves and went towards the parking area accompanied by Yogesh. Settled in the car and we roared off and just then Yogesh told me something, hearing which I went numb to my nerves. He had a night vision problem and finds it difficult to maneuver turns at night. My jaws dropped wide open, eyes burst out in bewilderment.
Me: It’s a good joke, man. It was just to relax the situation (actually myself) with this light statement and somber reaction.
Yogesh: Had it been a joke.?
Me: What!!! you can’t be serious with this dude.
