		<title>she was once called Draupadi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many eons ago, there was a great story written in India, everything about it was great. It has weathered so many storms and sold logic century after century that our contemporary storytellers like Navjwot Singh Sidhou, Amerr Sing, Behanji, Mumta di and Chetan Phogat could be silenced by the logics mentioned therein. However, that was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kanjhawla on the Radar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All the fuss about the “6.5 kms of confusion”, as one user of the BRT corridor addresses it, is not deterring the Delhi government to use this vehicle to solve the commuting woes forecasted in Delhi. It might be recalled that Delhi is expecting it’s population to increase by more than 10 million people, 2 [...]]]></description>

		<title>IPL &amp; REAL ESTATE – Bailout !!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A slew of big management jargon were thrown at the hapless ‘aam admi’ over the past few weeks leading to the IPL auctions. Men, women and not so lucky were kept wondering on what these had a connect with cricket. Yours humbly though exposed to words like valuations, value, physical properties, features, team specifications, leadership [...]]]></description>

		<title>Delhi Rebuilding-SERIOUS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ My friend and colleague Ajay Dabas does quip ponderously that &#8220;Delhi was built majestically by the British who never has 10-20-30 year(s) announced masterplans as a futuristic city, esp. focussed on the quality of lifestyle of the inhabitants. Politics of development,, coupled with the serious intent of the class divide brought in inward looking master [...]]]></description>

		<title>pol(e)itiks of Development-Dilli-Ishtyle (satire)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whilst Delhi as a city is crumbling, owing to the apathy of the administration, head counts increased through bogus employees et. all, the MCD has hit upon a unique proposition to better the Municipality functions, and bring about a qualitative change in the lives of Dilliwallahs, as per the Diktats of the MPD 2021.

		<title>How can Delhi implement court orders?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pronouncing the last judgement during his tenure as the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, justice Ajit Prakash Shah said: “Everyone has the right to live a decent life.

		<title>Delhi Industries to close down soon?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The title would seem like a scandalous statement, however, it might prove true too, given the slow pace of the Union government. The master plan of Delhi, in 2007, had given three years time for the polluting industries under 99 categories to either shift, or close down their units within three years.

		<description><![CDATA[This was a news report which was featured on www.delhi-masterplan.com. I found it interesting to share with visitors of my personal blog too, as the news is exciting for investors into Delhi, and not so good for some of the peripheral cities of Delhi NCR, which would likely to be adversely affected by this. Finally, [...]]]></description>
