Text of the page (random words):
delhi also i promise to remember the journey if you can get me a seat speaking of seats in buses i was lucky to witness phenomenal action in the long jump event a man who was probably in his late 40s creamed the world record and a few people with a leap that flew all the way from the conductor s seat to an empty one behind the driver breathtaking action quite literally for a few for those of you who can t out leap the competition there is another approach to winning the proverbial medal freestyle wrestling a game practiced with a lot of passion and skill especially by the healthy variety of travelers personally i am not particularly fond of all the jumping and tackling invariably i find myself enjoying another kind of exercise gymnastics i have to admit i never knew the extent of my body s flexibility till i got onto a bus twisting turning shifting from one bar to the other hanging on and then hanging on for life i deserve nothing less than a perfect 10 hopefully my campaign to get the bus a thon full fledged olympic status works out surely then we ll have a few more medals to brag about till then i hope you have a safe journey 3 comments posted in uncategorized posted by dinesh kapur september 25 2012 part 2 disappearing in a cloud of dust just then a rush of dust suddenly swept in i lost track of my team the shoes and footprints had vanished the realization dawned they were disappearing in a cloud of dust end of part 1 300 700 900 1250 some of you might confuse the series of numbers above as the desired progression of incidentals that we dream about when traveling for outstation work the numbers are in fact some of the temperatures typically found inside different zones of a cement kiln as a consequence the heat outside the kilns is the stuff tandoori chickens are made of just after i had lost track of my team mates in part 1 i found myself walking past the kilns for the uninitiated these are essentially long very long rotating columns of steel the columns in this case were about 64 meters long rotating with fire in their belly they were melting powdered limestone and gypsum and fusing them into red hot clinkers of cement walking along the kilns is nothing like a walk in a park not even remotely close the kilns look sinister and they sound fiendish i could hear the ominous background score of the lord of the rings playing in the background there we were mining the earth just like the orcs in two towers and this thought was interrupted by a muffled sound ine jee i stopped to pay closer attention again ine jee was the sound again i looked around but i couldn t locate the source the third time it was louder nesh jeeeee standing between the piles of crushed limestone rock and the grumbling steel machines hard place i wasn t quite sure where this voice was coming from teng teng teng teng was the outcome of a key repeatedly meeting a hollow bar on a steel staircase i looked up and i was greeted by the sight of a very amused looking stuti and a scowl on the face of the engineer from the plant the chap was obviously trying to out scream the machines upar aaiye abhi 150 motors baaki hain come up we still have 150 more motors to go was his cry and so our trek up to the highest point in baikunth village began for the uninitiated a cement plant can tower over the landscape the setup has air separation pre heating exhausts etc huge fans are used to draw in air the finely crushed materials descend from a height and the coarse and fine particles are separated all of which requires a decent amount of height over the next 10 days we took electrical measurements at a height of 10m 15m 25m and 40m on one particular day we went all the way to 73m where the floor trembled but the view was the stuff cement lords are made of every area of the cement plant the railways line bringing in coal and the nearby artificial lake could be seen we really were like orcs from the lord of the rings the view extended to the entire village to set a context to the heights the qutub minar in new delhi is 72 5m high our work was carried out between regimented tea breaks and a long lunch break we spent most of these breaks being surprised or accosted by our own man friday gopal he was deputed to serve us tea and convince us to have nashta at every break a kindred spirit with the uncanny knack of appearing out of nowhere is the best way to describe him we never saw him in the lobby or inside the room yet within seconds of our reaching the energy audit room we would hear his earnest voice saying chai nashta nastha lenge aap log on one particular day we reached the energy audit room whilst consciously keeping a watch for gopal s movements he was nowhere to be seen we reached our room smug with our singular victory over gopal in our game of hide and seek and then from under the table came the voice teen chai aur teen nashta ready 3 teas and 3 snacks ready gopal was unplugging the kettle from the plug point under the table we were too shocked by yet another miraculous appearance by gopal to notice that he knew how many people were in the room at another time i was sitting in the audit room to enter the data of the 220 odd motors that we covered i found myself in the midst of a conversation with gopal and his colleague hari they knew a lot about cement they knew a lot about the different cement plants owned by the cement lords that ran this place they rattled off numbers about production capacity location and even turnover it took me a few days to realize that this is all they knew this information had been drilled into their minds and they were very much a part of the plant furniture their world and life was cement the had taken loans in the name of cement their marriages happened in the name of cement their kids grew up on cement the visionary cement lords had built an entire world out of cement so much so that the walls of the plant had important teachings and wisdom written on them for example safety comes before action work and rest are important for a productive life etc etc and to add to the mystic there were portraits of the owner of the company and his textbook industrialist s wife that adorned every alternate wall in the plant every time we would go to a different area of the plant we could see the portraits the smiling faces and the clever eyes seemed to suggest that we were being watched no wonder all the plant personnel were so sincere our treks were accompanied by entire days spent at the packaging plant the in house thermal power plant the raw mill the compressor house the marquee moment of the audit was traveling on the eot cranes picture this we were moving on an open wrought iron platform on rusted iron rails across a distance that went from the 5 th floor of the teri building to the library block the tattered platform was powered by equally tattered motors it would start and stop with jerks that made traveling by punjab roadways a comforting thought most of the engineers at the plant were the brave sorts for them jumping up and down railings walking under machines or climbing stairs was a regular affair which they did with their most normal disposition they were obviously not daunted by these tricks to be honest i was enjoying the exercise a little apprehensive stuti seemed to cope well and this is what made the experience of the eot cranes a tad unique it was slightly amusing to see the engineers clutch on to the railings ever so tightly it was very amusing and mildly alarming when one of the engineers started saying a prayer mid way through his prayer and just before the platform jerked into motion he smiled at us it was absolutely hilarious to see him clinging on to the railing so tightly and utter mujhe yaahan aake bahut dar lagta hai iska koi bharosa nahi i feel really scared when i come here you cannot trust this device he said this with a broad grin and then the cranes began thereafter most things were a blur fortunately none of us were shaken off the 5 th floor platform the physical experience of working in an old cement plant was one living with dust dust dust heat dust dust hot air dusty water and a lingering odour of something very dry we were particular tickled by the irony of one of the teachings on the walls clean air and clean water are the secrets to a healthy life despite the conditions the experience was educational and largely uneventful in terms of incidents etc anyway to cut a long story short we wrapped up our audit measurements instruments incidents characters clothes and everything included a long journey to the airport was succeeded by a delayed flight to new delhi it was december a day before christmas eve we said our good byes to each other and disappeared in different directions this time we disappeared but not into the dust instead new delhi s winter fog and as i put the finishing touches to this post the faint tune of a song plays in my head the pointer on the screen is now searching for the submit button and that tune becomes more familiar some of the lyrics flood into my mind hey hey hey here i go now it is a song i finally press submit but the die was cast some time ago the music is now playing loudly hey hey hey here i go now here i go into new days just as soon as i belong its time i disappear the clouds of dust have gone the lyrics are crystal and so is the path ahead 3 comments posted in uncategorized posted by dinesh kapur december 24 2011 disappearing in a cloud of dust part 1 i am not sure if it ever happened to me before ladies and gentlemen this is your flight captain the raipur traffic controller asked for a missed approach landing so we have taken off again this was to prevent a bird hit the ground crew is inspecting the runway we will approach the run way again shortly for landing i have flown plenty of times now i am not a veteran of flights like the venerable beard upstairs in my current office but even though i have flown many times and also for long durations i cannot help but instinctively brace ever so slightly for a landing invariably my stomach does a tiny cartwheel when the landing gear rubber makes contact with hard asphalt but this time as we sat only 100 200 feet above the ground bracing for the plane to touch down suddenly the whirring of the engines intensified a surge of power coursed through the aircraft turbines and within moments the cars in the vicinity of the airport became ants again the buildings were matchboxes this time my stomach did two cartwheels not the best start to a 12 day energy audit at century cements in baikunth chhatisgarh some of the passengers smiled silly smiles and blurted nervous laughs the lady sitting behind me the better half of a new couple was now experiencing motion sickness i looked down nervously at my black sneakers since you are reading this post it implies that the flight did land eventually so at 7 00 am on 12 december 2011 a monday morning the energy auditors found themselves picking up their 9 heavy kgb style suitcases from a coarsely built baggage belt at raipur airport drawing the lazy interest of our co passengers our motley crew assembled outside the airport for the vehicle s sent by the cement lords the journey from the airport skirted raipur city and was largely through the thin 2 lane road traveling through the chhatisgarh hinterland it was largely uneventful since the red threat was in the opposite direction near the convergence of orissa andhra pradesh and maharashtra the landscape was mostly plain and brown it was interspersed with brown and green trees and there were hardly any crops or plantations as we exited the airport one could detect a slight haze of dust all around why the answer came from gaping craters in the ground limestone quarries the staid brown countryside was interrupted with plenty of pink and white cavities in the land we stopped for tea the first sip set the tone for the countless cups of tea we would need over the next 12 days after a cup of tea flavored sugar and 60 kilometers of traveling we reached a township in the middle of nowhere century school was followed by century college a small shopping complex there was a cricket ground well maintained roads some houses and then suddenly emerged the towering 4700 tonnes per day cement plant century cements the view was properly hazy now the fine dust transformed the world into a scene behind a dusty computer screen introductions with the engineers manning the plant followed the use of the word manning is to bring to your notice an implicit truth barring the few women that we saw in the guesthouse on days 4 and 5 the only other lady in the plant was the diminutive but industrious girl in our energy auditing crew one after another the team nominated by the plant management entered the conference room their numbers swelled from 1 to 3 to 10 and rested at 22 the verdict this was going to be a test of speed strength and metal and cement the walkthrough survey of the plant began we zigzagged in and out of the cement mill the raw mill the kiln units the packaging plant the captive power plant and the pump houses the initial survey took us up to the railway line that brought the wagonloads of limestone and coal we were also introduced to a new color an abnormal hybrid of pink grey and brown that was pasted on everything that moved and did not move in the immediate vicinity of that plant industrial pink the flight the road journey the kick off conference the walkthrough and the winter month of december meant that at 6 00 p m it was properly dark it was also a proper half an hour past the plant personnel s time to go home we retired to the guesthouse with alarm clocks set for 6 30 a m reporting time at the plant was 8 00 a m let the audit begin the alarms did not fulfill their duty no we were not late the alarms did not get a chance to alarm us our sleep was rudely interrupted at 5 45 a m by a harsh ringing of the bell and questions from a man with a gruff voice he was carrying an old tin kettle and cup and when the door opened he boomed chai chai lenge we downed our breakfast quickly partly because we were eager to reach before time to plan our work and partly because the generous oil made it easier for the food to slide down motors and lighting were my brief since the number of these devices is large i teamed up with a teammate to help her in cutting the task down to size our first stop was the raw mill that was in the immediate vicinity of the engineering building the notable facts as we made our way up the heavy wrought iron stairs with 2 engineers from the plant a phone that belonged to one of them rang why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di broke the loud grumbling of the machines and piercing screams of the rotating kilns kolaveri di in baikunth in the middle of nowhere in chhatisgarh is this fast becoming a symbol of national unity the next stop was the raw mill a crisscross of conveyor belts and fans with large containers hoppers holding all the crushed limestone...
