Annual Eid celebrations

Clearly, the main activity of the annual Eid celebration remains attending a relative's residence. On this particular occasion, relatives make sure to see each other at home.  They are amused by a wide variety of dishes. The sweet flavour of the most significant meal, sewai , seems to be blending with joy and celebration. Even so, traditional recipes are significantly altered for the celebration.  During a visit to a relative's home, it became more apparent that not only did the dishes on the table resemble those of a five-star hotel, but also...  The golden-coloured cutlery placed on the table created the illusion of an upscale hotel. Each item placed on the table served as a reminder of the refined and opulent way of life.

AC Bus Winter fares fail to pull passengers


Elegantly fresh ideas have been brought forward for running UP Roadways AC buses on the road. Despite propagating pursuits through varied ways, the Roadways Bus stations are also seen to be informed about the reduction in the fares on cold winter days.
 
The reduction in the fares of the AC buses at present does not attract more passengers sufficiently. It is not far from the fact on the ground. Who would require cold air inside the bus cabin? What they prefer to find is better conditions like cleanliness. Strangely enough, the AC bus is not cleaning spitting splattered over the inside walls. Dirt and waste are typically not cleared.

We are still well aware that buses don't leave the terminal until there are enough passengers on board. If less than a dozen passengers come, the buses depart in the hopes of gaining more passengers on the trip. Nevertheless, the buses continue to go in the hopes of success but are not practically successful.

 General buses have lower rates of fares for the same distance, but if there are just a dozen, the AC buses must depart in the hopes of picking up more travellers. 

However, the buses continue to move forward with optimistic hopes but are still unsuccessful practically. The passengers seem to favour ordinary buses only for cheaper fares.

Thus, it has been caught that the general buses draw relatively more passengers also because the AC buses are not far better. The cleanliness is not improving in AC buses. Passengers are more often found criticising the apathy towards this basic facility. 

When One AC bus started from a bus station, it carried only a handful of passengers but boasted of reaching Khaga station comparatively faster in comparison to the general bus. Even the bus driver was overheard saying this accomplishment. 

The passengers also emphasized that there remained no marked differences between the AC and the General buses. Cleanliness is absent in both buses. In the name of more fares, state transport buses do not show extra concern about jobs in the curtained buses.

 As the buses are moving comparatively empty on various routes, some passengers only adjust themselves on the AC buses on their short or lengthy journeys.

Passengers are certainly being lured by the seasonal twist to board the AC buses.  Regularly choosing AC buses in the winter days does not look undesirable for there is a difference of at least fifty rupees in the fare for a similar distance. 

At the end of winter days, the bus passengers will have to bear the higher fares. Only intensely loyal passengers might not leave their travel habit through the AC bus.
