Question

Essay on a visit to parliament house during winter

Answer 1

Hey buddy here is your answer

Bringing the Dream to Life
Planning for a trip to the Winter Session of the Parliament started sometime in September. Broaching the idea to SLC’s faculty advisor, Prof. Sudarsan, was infinitely peaceful – Prof. Sudarsan supported the idea through and through and promised to use his contacts to see if permission could be obtained to visit the Parliament. In the meanwhile, I tried out the most straightforward way possible to obtain permission – I called the Lok Sabha Speaker’s office. Many emails and phone calls later, the trip was nowhere close to fruition – it was mid October and nothing seemed to be happening. It was at this point of time that Mr. K Srinivasan, Prof. Sudarsan’s friend, helped us out by providing the contact of a high ranking official in the Lok Sabha secretariat, who in turn put us in touch with the Bureau of Parliamentary Studies and Training. I mailed BPST on the 1st of November and expected a speedy response – the response finally came through on the 15th of November, inviting us to visit the parliament on the 30th of November. I woke up to heavy fog, intense cold and an announcement that the train was running five hours late. Our visit was scheduled for 1:30 pm on the 30th of November and at 7:00 am that day, I woke up to the news that our train was delayed by 5 hours due to Delhi’s seasonal fog. That proved to be a disaster – upon calling the point of contact at BPST, I was informed we would not be allowed to deposit our luggage at the reception. That left us with no choice but to rush all the way to IIT Delhi and return immediately. We arrived at New Delhi Railway Station at 12:00 pm, and by the time we deposited our luggage and turned back to reach the Parliament, it was 4:00 pm, both the houses had been adjourned for the day, and the Parliament Museum had closed. Our late arrival had messed up our plans and we were utterly disappointed by the time we came out of the Museum, having seen nothing, and BPST rather regretfully didn’t do much to help.

Hope this answer will be helpful to u !!
