Centre Point of India

Nagpur isn't really a exciting place, sun beating down on you even in the month of November. The only thing I was excited about was to see the Centre Point of India, yes the point from where the East, West, North South parts of India are equidistant. ! Wow centre of this huge country ! Must be awesome ..

So me along with Sid asked our Cabbie to show us the Centre Point , he told us " Do you mean Centre Point Hotel Sir " . No we told him . Finally he left us somewhere in between and we kept searching for the place, no body there seems to know about the Centre point.

Finally some learned man told us that the place is called the "Zero Mile". Hmm, the name is in interesting. Finally we reached the place, and was aghast after seeing the condition of the place. Thay have simply killed it !




The place was uncleaned, surrounded by political and business hoardings. The centre point of India and no maintenance what so ever. Tried to click a few photographs, Planning to write to the authorities. Where are our taxes going ?

When will we start marketing our country ?

Once upon a time in India..

Recently happen to visit Sevagram, the place where Mahatma lived with his team and planned and implemented the project " Freedom of India " . All the great freedom movements were actually thought through and discussions on the future directions for the pan India movement was done at a place which is almost the centre point of India.  The simplicity of the place and lifestyle of Mahatma really makes you think   "What Am I running for ?"

Clicked few of the pics during the trip ..
