Travels and travails in West UP.

West UP is misnomer actually, its not cowboy land of Meerut,Muzzfarnagar or Baghpat..but more of playground of Lord Krishna ..the Brijbhumi..the Radhey influence is all pervading .
It was travel done by yours truly(hereafter referred as DEFENDANT) and area incharge(hereafter referred as PLAINTIFF)..in between OPS incharge UP/ops incharge West UP/hub incharge/centre incharge makes appearance( All clubbed as 12th MAN) and we use Hollywood titles again.
PLAINTIFF and DEFENDENT agreed at the onset to Disagree on every topic under sun!!!!
Heat and dust
PLAINTIFF reminded DEFENDANT of being a softy infact whole of his kinship in Gurgaon were softy, PLAINTIFF being the son of soil was a fieldsman..'Field ka Aadami', PLAINTIFF ate , drank , breathed , dreamt soil ,the DEFENDANT wallowed in his misery affected with self pity..alternately visualising himself as spoilt rich brat, a blood sucking capitalist..and in his depression and anxiety he managed to wonder with so much soil in your system..how do you manage essentials of life.
Guns of Navarone
Etah is the original Wild west of India, mans life revolve around there Shotguns or Rifles, man can go wout food for two days but would not step out without the this ornament, Corn arrivals are still down but would increase within 7 -10 days time.All the socialist talk had made PlAINTIFF flushed with exhaustion and after catching the breath he instructed driver to put on the AC on full blast and stuffing the mouth with wads of Pan PLAINTIFF managed a smile of self satisfied , contended man.
How green was my valley
Farrukhabad is the biggest potato belt of india …………………. Who cares even if it is not still you manage to see potatoes everywhere but my purpose was to see the Corn which was still a absentee but arrival would start with Bang when whole central UP throws out Corn, so we dropped Farrukhabad like hot potato out of itinery after visiting Mohhmadabad.
It’s a mad..mad world
12th Man managed a room for PLAINTIFF in Etah which was upsurped by the 12th man after discussion with 12th man and than started making his evening report for the 12th man , the 12th man tried to reterive the room for PLAINTIFF but 12th man resisted it and 12th continued to stay put on the instructions of 12th man and managed to complete his report for the 12th man, now that's a bit confusing isn't ..well same happened and PLAINTIFF like a real 'Son of soil' spent the night on the soil….mind you not the 'night soil'.
All the president's man
Completing the journey through Mainpuri and Bewar, Defendant tried to emulate the 'Son of soil' and conducted impromtou interviews while on the way asking a bunch of farmers who was the president of India..few replied "..moko nahi pato hain…" but smartest of them managed a reply "…weh to Mulayam he honge…".Yes this real 'son of soil' manages the show in this area .
.
Hats off to the team..working hard,running like horses (tied to a single load) in every direction manage to stay at same place.
Yours truly
