Why is the foot-over-bridge in Daryaganj being demolished?

This Friday I was reading the news the MCD is going to demolish the foot-over-bridge on Netaji Subhash Marg in Daryaganj or the "Lohe Ka Pul" as we all know it. MCD Plans a subway to replace this bridge. Agency claimed that the bridge has become a regular place for anti-social elements. Everything is okay but I see it from two different viewpoints.

First from a legacy point of view. It has been there since last 45 years. It’s not only an old structure but a land mark too. Dismantling it because it is being frequented by the local goon does not make any sense to me. Are we trying to say that if we create subway it will be a deterrent for these goons? On the contrary it would be more dangerous as from the road one can’t know what’s going on in a subway. I would not like if my pocket is picked while passing from a subway. If this case happens on a foot over bridge at least the public takes notice of this and can help catching the guy who picked a pocket.

Now from the spend perspective. Correct me if I am wrong in saying that a 35 coroe Rupees budget is sanctioned for it. Now my point is does it cost more to repair an iron foot-over-bridge or Construction of subways costs more. Does MCD consider these things before taking the decision to spend the tax money of the tax payers?

A hard to please customer equals A Moron

It was beautiful just beautiful. Tata delivered what it promised a car in a price which nobody even thought that too with whatever accessories are required. yes I am talking about 1 Lakh car Tata Nano. Still the comment that my friend made was "It just look like a Bajaj Auto". Well does someone know how much an auto cost? its more than the price you are dreaming to own a car. "Well I am a customer who is hard to please" is the answer. Its interesting how do you interpret this. I guess it means I am a moron who only knows asking asking and asking without even thinking how much am I paying for it or whether anyone else coming to even this close to what I am getting. Customer is the king but when will all these kings learn to how much is too much. Another one which is very interesting "I had to go through the pain of using shaving cream only because Gillet do not supply enough Shaving foams in my area". Oh wow non availability of Gels I can understand but pain of using Shaving cream! My My My what to do with High minds. Hindi is cheap but English is class, Bollywood never deserves anything more than 3 while Hollywood never goes below 4 stars. These remind me of people who are rich in nuisance value. But now Amir told me the secret to still be happy. Just make your heart believe "All Is Well".

Beggars: Sad part of life

I am sad today. I was driving to my office today when I crossed Ashram chowk and turned on Mathura road towards Badarpur. On the next red light there was this small girl dancing on th e tunes of Dholak. She must be four or may be five. An age where one feels on top of the world if someone offers her a candy. This also reminds me of a day sometime back. Again I was returning from hospital when I saw this small girl playing with her infant brother (it could be sister). This kid in a carton is a very grim sight. Delhi government claims to remove the beggars from Delhi roads before common wealth games. But how is it going to tackle this task? What would happen to these beggars? Are they being just removed from roads or there is some plan to rehabilitate them? How would you ensure that they don't come back after sometime?
