Kanpur: We can cover a distance of above two to three kilometres in the morning time. How is it possible in the early morning? This is as simple as two plus one turns three literally. 

Morning walkers even agree with this norm. The two walkers taking a morning walk from Jajmau Nai Chungi to JK Colony onwards in the Jajmau area were overheard saying so. 

As we know the comparatively atmospheric air in Jajmau remains a little bit fresh at that time so we do not feel enough trouble in completing that much distance easily.

There is indeed a fine place for sucking fresh air in Jajmau area, as he maintains.

It is certainly not like Emperor Jehangir's oft repeated lines, if there is paradise on the earth it is here, here and here. But this place is not lesser than the like of that snow covered hilly territory for the professional.

Kanpur: Wearing white clothes is a curse in Jajmau's smoke-laden environment, said the dwellers.

We normally do not like to put on radiantly white dresses, said the young tannery owner of the area.

When asked instantly why do you evade? His short and quick response was that it was due to blackish atmospheric air.

The smoke of a chimney rains like sooty particles on us every day. That's why we normally avoid white clothing.

Sunday's air quality at the level of169  was unhealthy and the main pollutant concentrated at PM 2.5, as weather reports stated.

Kanpur: The days are numbered for the end of the vacations. On the declaration of the final exam results the parents were seen standing outside the school office in regard to fee related matters.

Now, they are standing at shop to buy books. This is another ordeal for them. The books remain available on the selected  shop found either near or distant areas. 

Usually the text books are highly priced. But the phrase marta kya nahi karta applies on the parents. 

Kanpur:  It remains a glaring example of neglect as the examinations of the Council schools are taking place amid a shortage of the question papers.

The height of negligence remained so much that the two examinees were given one question paper.

Another startling spectacle was that the teacher wrote down questions on the blackboards at the school in Derapur Block of Kanpur Dehat district.
