I've got to go to Vidhan Sabha now, I'm near Rajouri right now, so can you tell me how to get there? Sapna: Yes, just a minute. Why Vidhan Sabha? Maneesha: Some work has come up. There's a bus stop nearby, should I take a bus? Sapna: Which number buses are there? You can also take an autorickshaw to the metro station, but if you take the bus, you can reach there in two bus rides. Maneesha: Buses numbered 442, 804, and 861 come here. Sapna: The route will be shortest with 442. Take the 442 to Wazirpur and get off there—should take about twenty minutes. Sapna: Then you will find the 901 bus from Wazirpur going towards Kamla Nagar Market. Take that bus, it'll go straight to Model Town, where if you get off Vidhan Sabha should be close. Maneesha: Okay thanks, And if I take the metro? Sapna: It's better not to—it'll go around a bit from Rajouri. It'll take you back to the center to Rajiv Chowk, before you can take the Yellow Line up to the north. Maneesha: Okay. And to catch the second bus, how much time will I have? Sapna: You'll have to wait five minutes if it's on time. Get off at the 13th stop for the first bus, and the 7th for the second. ----Formal Romanization---- maNiisaa: haiLo SapNaa. mujhe zaraa viDHaaN Sabhaa jaaNaa pad rahaa hai, main abhii rajaurii ke paaS huun, To vahaan Tak kaa raaSTaa baTaa SakTii ho?

Hi, this is Priya calling. I heard about your accident. How did it happen? Maneesha: Yes, it is my fault actually. Had I been more careful I would not have hurt myself on an old injury. Priya: Did you break the same bone? Maneesha: Yes, it is a very old injury, so I thought it had healed. And since then I have done many physically strenuous activities too. But I guess you shouldn't disregard a previously fractured bone. Priya: You must have taken precautions I'm sure? Maneesha: No, that is my biggest regret, that had I put on a protection bandage on my leg or something then maybe such a serious injury could have been avoided. I have to bear it now. Priya: Anyway don't be too hard on yourself now. Just focus on getting better. And then you'll be running and jumping again soon. Maneesha: Yes I won't make this mistake again. Priya: If you need anything feel free to ask me. I will definitely go over to meet with you. Maneesha: Thank you. I'm good for now. ----Formal Romanization---- priyaa: heLo maNiisaa? haan, main priyaa boL rahii huun. main Ne Tumhaare aikSiideNt ke baare mein SuNaa. kaiSe huaa? maNiisaa: haan merii hii gaLTii hai. mainNe DHyaaN Diyaa hoTaa To ek hii ghaav par Dobaaraacot Nahiin LagTii. priyaa: kyaa Dobaaraa uSii haddii par cot Lagii hai? maNiisaa: haan, bahuT SaaL puraaNii cot hai To mujhe Lagaa ghaav bhar gayaa hogaa. aur uSke baaD bhii mainNe bahuT saaririk kaSraT kii hai.

To date, she is the longest running female prime minister in the world. An interesting figure, Gandhi has been the only Indian Prime Minister to declare a state of emergency and be incarcerated after her term in office. She was the first elected Indian leader to be assassinated, and her son Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in office as well, eleven years after his mother. While her surname may be Gandhi, Indira is in fact the daughter of India's first Prime Minister, Jawharlal Nehru. She shares no blood relation with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi. She was born in 1917 and studied in India and in England at Somerville College in Oxford. She worked as her father's unofficial personal assistant when she returned to India during his tenure in office, and after his death in 1964 she became an elected member of the Upper House (Rajya Sabha). As Prime Minister, she presided over the 1971 war with neighboring Pakistan, the creation of Bangladesh, the start of the Indian nuclear weapons program, India's Green Revolution, a failed anti-poverty program, alleged dishonest election practices, a devaluation of India's currency, and the storming of the Golden Temple in Amritsar. She was a strong leader and still causes divisive feelings over her impact on India. After her time in office, India's literacy rate did improve, agricultural production increased greatly, and poverty did fall by twenty percent. It was her attack on the holiest Sikh religious site, the Golden Temple, that led to her death. She was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards in her own garden in New Delhi. She died on the w [...]
