Delhi Metro – A dream come true. Started in Delhi just a few years ago, its already rocking. I still remember visiting Metro from Shahadra to Kashmiri Gate and vice versa when it first started and even since it has become part and parcel of life.

Is Metro a success?

No second thoughts on whether Delhi Metro is a success. Every Delhitie will proudly say YES. You can see hundreds, no thousands of people traveling via Metro each passing day. Kashmiri Gate comes and the train gets filled up, gets empty on Rajiv Chowk

Kashmiri Gate is the largest metro station till now. Metro is going to be extended upto the NCR region soon and Delhities are eagerly waiting for it.

Why Metro is success?

1. Fast
2. Cheap
3. Fully Air Conditioned
4. Connects major places
5. Secure

Problems?

The Metro is constantly becoming popular, but Govt is not able to cope up with this. The security checks are good, but lose sometimes. The trains are late and late (actually on time according to Indian punctuality).

Paypal the most used medium to send money (http://www.paypal.com) has started returning payments to be sent from or to India. Here is the letter they have sent -

Dear SENDER,

Your payment of $XX.XX has been returned to you. If you sent the payment with a bank account, the funds will be returned to your PayPal balance. If you paid with a credit card, the amount will be credited back to your card.

We returned the payment to you because we have stopped allowing personal payments to be sent to or from India.

If this was a payment for a purchase of goods or services, and not a personal payment, then you may resend the payment to the seller by following these steps on the PayPal website: (a) click the Send Money tab, (b) select “Goods,” and (c) provide a shipping address.

If this payment was a personal payment, such as a gift to a friend or family member, then we request that you find another payment method until we restore personal payments to and from India.

We are trying to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you,

PayPal
