River London Thames rowing Queen, New Delhi where have you been?

River Thames rowing Queen, New Delhi where have you been?

I feel jealous a bit not too much.  After watching river Thames gets so many bridges walkways, rowing the Queen, musical stage on the bank and fresh fish to eat. It’s June and humid hot summers in the city New Delhi. Every one need stroll on the bank of river or sea to get fresh. We had flowing river which is no more a river now.

It is my satire for the city and its people I of my city New Delhi.

Summer River cries to its people those she feeds

Hold summers wave and try to breathe hard

New Delhi’s June make the sun to creed

Rivers, River hold my breath give me bread.

Flow like flamingo and sound like flute

Here we worship, but where are the ship to float

Oh my city river Yamuna, don’t cry

You and me both are coy

Those make it dirty should feel shy

Watching and praying you from distance

Wishing to find soft flow, small fish and confidence

Bluish and moon lit like the thames of London

Wooden and iron bridges are not seen

Where have you been?

Rowers row without boarding the Queen

New Delhi had the river and horses when I was teen.

Hold summers wave and try to breathe

New Delhi’s June make the sun to creed.

I don’t know am I correct here?

Comparing New Delhi with the London. But up to some extent am I right, after watching London’s Queen golden jubilee celebrations on river Themes. Here I feel bit parallel as we also have river and roots of Queen’s rule, which our so called elected parliament rules us, same like Queens Governors 66 years back.

But here I am concerning the system and running a city. New Delhi has everything as per world standards, but we lack commitment of citizens and planners to make it happening city like London where 20 million tourists visit, for just have good food and pleasant walks, theatres and music from all over world.

Where we are lacking behind in New Delhi comparing with London in terms maintain city. Blame it on to hot weathers and slow planning of Government. Here we have to blame migrants those coming in the city and making city over loaded and all migrants come for money and have less commitment towards city. Second our planners are so much slow in this age of high speed internet.

So here I am not saying to stop migration of people in New Delhi but saying love the city, the river and its people. Say lovely hello to all.

Here is satire to the city I love New Delhi, which has not seen bombing and spying own friends in the daily life, yes we have seen depressed rule of colonizers like British.

But I still say those took a lot but today over government are giving less to its citizen.

Oh I am not political here but for the enlistment of city food, culture and its past I am saying this. Hope my publishers like this.

Below statement for our planner of city named New Delhi, which takes a lot from us and gives less.

We can think of city like London made around river Themes which has seen 2 devastating world wars and toxic wastes of Manchester city textiles mills for 100 years.

Written After Watching Diamond Jubilee Celebration of Queen of England…I missed status of my city New Delhi.
