Thanks Mr. Mohamed Jaffer.
SOME AMAZING FACTS ABOUT INDIAN RAILWAYS.
Very satisfying message and information.
Our Media, Press always glorify wrong things and discuss silly issues, call leaders by names; create a totally bad image of the whole Nation. Netas certainly can be selfless and contribute a bit to the Nation Development. But press portrait them as underworld dons. The speed with which matters are disposed by the executive, judiciary for the select few, make us to doubt andbody and every body. India, indeed is a beautiful rose and time has come when the holders (all people, Burecracy, Politicians, Professsionals, Executive, Judiciary etc etc) of this wonderful Rose to tell, prove and exhibit to the world that they are nice human beings and not MONKEYS. But only problem all of us are in a great hurry to exhibit to the world that we are real monkeys.
In such circumstances thanks for your valued information on Indian Railways. Hearty congratulations and wishing you all the best.
Looking for many, many self motivating information on the whole Nation.
