Here i am , a Retired Person nearing the three quarters of the Century Mark , musing about the many childhood dreams . There are many things which have caught my fancy as a schoolgoing kid and later on in the teens. It is only fair to say that Some of those Important Dreams , thanks to the lord above have been realized and and sadly there are parts of the same that are never going to see the light of the day . The early part of my teens was at a place called Kharapur in W Bengal .Now, dont get me wrong , it was not at the IIT for which the place is obviously more famous for the World over , but the Railway Colony of which my Father was very much a part.

A GOLU WHICH IS NO LESS THAN A DIVINE ART EXHIBITION We were at Ajax in Canada on Sunday the 28 th of September 2025 . It was a special day for two reasons .

SITTING HERE IN CANADA I CAME ACROSS A BOARD WHICH WAS POSTED IN ANOTHER GROUP WHICH SHOWED THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE DETAILS EX AMBAS TO VARIOUS PLACES .

FORTY PAISE PER KILOMETER WHEN YOU COMPARE THE SAME WITH THE TRAIN F...
