HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED
Not so long ago, maybe a quarter of a century or less, Refreshment Stalls at all major railway stations offered a variety of rice preparations. On display were packets of Sambar Rice, Tamarind Rice, Lemon Rice and of course, the ubiquitous Curd Rice. But with the gradual efflux of time these items have undergone superannuation, only to be replaced by the new generation recipe going by the generic name of BIRIYANI.
What a hungry passenger now has is a kinda Hobson's choice of either Veg.Biriyani, Egg Biriyani, Chicken Biriyani...

The Rajdhani series of trains were the first of premium class high-speed trains to be pressed into service by IR. The first of these off the track was the 101 (now 12301) Howrah NDLS Rajdhani , which had its maiden run on 1st March, 1967. It covered the distance of 1441 kms in 17 hours at a max. speed of 120 km/h with technical halts at Kanpur, Mughalsarai, and Gomoh.These trains provided two types of accommodation. AC-Sleeper and AC Chair Car. The fare for chair car was probably Rs. 175 at that time but rose to Rs.330 by 1984.
The ACC coaches were like the AC Chair Cars in the present day SHATABDIS and one could not carry heavy luggage like suitcases...

Nice of you to remember the old admins including me. I do log in to IRI occasionally but post less often. The old habit still lingers though a lot of things have changed here. But it is indeed an honour to be recalled by one of my old colleagues in IRI. Thanks Koush for that.

(An old post of mine dated 7th January 2014)
An updated list of IRI admins/ex-admins and members/ex-members I have been privileged to meet during my association with IRI, refreshed as on 1st January 2014. Golden opportunities to interact with a galaxy of stars from IRI and enlarge my circle of friends have been a matter of immense pleasure for me. To use a by now well worn cliche and even at the risk of repetition ad nauseam, I must express my gratitude to IRI in general and the moderator in particular, for making this possible. I consider myself singularly blessed to have been fortunate to have met more than 30% of the admins of IRI.

Friends, is there ANY NEWS regarding construction of a new TERMINAL at ASANSOL and renaming of present ASANSOL JUNCTION as ASANSOL MAIN ?
Travel SAFE
1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.
REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.
