INDIAN POST  OFFICE

    MY OBSVERVATION   In recent time I had occasion to  pin code I went sector 72  Post office  in Gurgaon One speed post for me to come  Even after 6 days it has not reached me On enquiry from sender he wrongly written instead of sector 72 written as sector 92 . The post office located in a dingy house  The people there even in that condition  replied in  the polite way whatever we asked , They told it has been sent to sector 92 and it is lying there after verifying computer record    I went sector 92   there also the area post office situated in sector 94 in a village in very pathetic building I got the speed post  The approach path very pathetic there  Still people working calmly

                                       MY OBSERVATION

 My observation after visiting BALI  my mind started comparison with that place to Our country 

                     .  INDONESIA

 THEY MASTERED THE ART OF  PRESERVING ANCIENT MANUMENTS at the same time they mastered knack of  minting money .They are earning crores and crores of money from the tourists and tourists are flogging and lively hood of people are prospering

                                            Our India    

 We are having still beautiful  ancient as well as  historic as well as  godly manuments  here For example KURUCHETRA   THE PLACE  was destroyed beyond recognition  There was a very big BRAHMA KUND JUST LIKE SEA

It was made half by  that place became just like commercial and shabby and it pureness was destroyed and same situation created for KURUCHETRA BATTLE FIELD   and  the pond where in the end of life  DURYODHANA DIPPED BEFORE DEATH WAS VANISHED

ABOUT  MADURA BRINDAVAN THE ENTIRE  ORIGINAL BRINDAVAN 

WHERE SRI KRISHNA ROAMED WITH HIS DISCIPLES WERE REDUCED TO  DUST BIN  Both the places I had visited when it was original  shape . 

But  when I visited Kasi and Ayodhya     it was  pleasing to note
