Hi All !
South Delhi has been suffering from the side effects of development. Ashram flyover area which connects the choker blocked Ring Road with DND Flyway has been undergoing repair work. Thereby causing motorists to experience chaos.
PWD has closed off a segment of the road on Sarai Kale Khan for the repairs. A senior traffic police officer stated - To avoid congestion, motorists coming from Andrews Ganj Chowk should take a left turn to on Bhisham Pitamah Marg under the Lodhi flyover and enter the Barapullah corridor for reaching Sarai Kale Khan. For motorists coming from Moolchand, their advice is to take a left on Ring Road and get on Lala Lajpat Rai Marg and use the Nizamudin entry to Barapullah.
According to WLC Review on Barapullah, it is even more jam packed.
Hi All !
I haven't had a chance to listen to the speech made by our PM, Mr. Narendra Modi. But, given all the speculation that surrounds it, I read up on the articles.
Some people are criticizing his speech as being a sheer publicity stunt. They claim is content spoke more to the students rather than in favor of the teachers and have categorized it as a Children's Day Speech. He has appeared to have spoken about the profession of teaching and how we should encourage students to grow up to be Indian teachers employed abroad.
That really does not make any sense to me. Also, I had read that during the QnA section of the evening, our PM did not quite understand the questions. Strange but all these have got me intrigued and doubting our Prime Minister.
Hi All !
Did you know that the universal teacher's day is 05th October and not 05th September ?
Did you know why that is so ?
Have you ever heard of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan ?
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was our very 1st vice president ! He went on to become the 2nd President of India. He was an Indian Philosopher and received several awards.
05th September is his birthday ! In the year 1962 he announced that his birthday was to be celebrated as Teacher's Day in honor of the educators in the Indian Society.
Hi All !
Delhi High Court has ordered Delhi Urban Shelters Improvement Board on Wednesday to construct more than 180 night shelters for the homeless. This initiative would be seen taking effect all across the national capital region.
With rains pouring heavily these days and winter months fast approaching, WLCI commends this decision and supports the cause. Delhi needs to improve the situation of the homeless and poor in order to grow as a nation !
Hi All !
Yes the title is correct, I just read this news article which has reported that fearing charges travelers have been disposing bars of gold in the washrooms of the International (T3) airport in New Delhi.
Shocking isn't it, what's more shocking is the amount that has been disposed and the frequency. Officials say that this sort of smuggling is due to the threefold increase in import duty on this precious metal.
A funny incident that I read was that someone had smuggled a gold bar worth 40 Lakh Rupees in the body of a smartphone. Police found the device in the loo and tried switching it on, when they failed in doing so, they put it through the scanner to find the gold !

Hi All !
We all felt the traffic this morning on our way to school, college and work. Well WLC feels the major reason was the delayed operation of Delhi Metro. The Blue line which connects Dwarka to Noida, was affected for a little more than an hour in the morning. Trouble started at around 830am on this densely populated track.
Delhi metro officials have accounted the problem on over head electrical wire faults. As a result of this lag, the metro's were stopping at each station for 10 minutes causing further delays to commuters.
Thank god it wasn't a Monday else it would have been a bad start to the week !
Hi All !
Unfortunately, it has been reported that there are at least 6 suspects carrying the Ebola Virus in India. However, since proper regulation to restrict the spread of this epidemic had been initiated in the beginning of August, the official have the situation under control.
Yesterday, the suspected patients were admitted into the special quarantine facility constructed at the Delhi airport. I must say the way the health ministry is tackling such an extreme threat is remarkable. Such calmness all in order to maintain peace in the nation !
Kudos !
