My Fascination with railways:
During childhood:
(5-10) Enjoyed seeing trains moving from a long distance, from roof of home, which appeared like long red worm moving on a line(rail)
(7-17)Enjoyed peeping out of window of Electric/diesel hauled i.e. all red train. Hated moving around the steam loco with harsh steam sound, shrill loud horn and travelling in steam loco hauled train due to...
more... coal dust coming in thru window. Tried to mentally calculate the avg speed during journey, running speed by using wrist watch.
Then dreamt about operating train i.e being LP
(18-25) Enjoyed travelling standing at the door of the moving train, enjoying scenery, fresh air, guessing the passing train etc. Reading railway related news taking interest in budget etc. Wanted to work in IR as but abstained due to frequently transferable job.
(After 25 till date)- Busy with responsibilities of life but take interest in railway matters, Rail budget etc
Since 1 yr do, try to take to time for blogging in IRI
