Very happy to see that the forum is now again filled up with travelogues and shared railfaning experiences. It is a breath of fresh air to see that the IRI forum not being reduced to a platform for meaningless bickering and particularly a forum for complaining and disrespecting an entire region because a train got extended from your hometown, even if the train is a crawler and wasn't yours in the first place, it got extended from Varanasi !
We are ferroequinologists! Let's continue to enjoy those iron machines that are quite frankly indispensible to the modern style of life.

while it is indeed very flattering to receive credit and inspiring so many of the present members to start sharing their railfanning and travel experiences, IRI has always been a platform where such write ups were commom. It is not a new trend rather an old and elegant character that I tried reminiscing while jotting my horrid experience while being on board the Ratna Superfast Express.
Credits to older members like PKV sir, Soumitra Sir and Zahwaib for inspiring me in my early years on this site.
Keep sharing your experiences guys, been loving everyone of them whether it was Kumund's vivid and clearly recollected travelogue, or Piyush's recollection of the journey that took a surprising twist, or Saurabh sir's insight into the circa 2003 when he was an hopeful IIT aspirant, or even Gagan's concise yet perfectly visual recollection...
Disclaimer :- Tagging the aforementioned train and station was fully coincidental and had no objective to offend any particular railway community and shouldn't be interpreted as such....
Signing off guys...

I don't know what's your problem in removing the tag that you are confronting me & tagged 15 persons for no reason
People protest if their fav train gets extended & they can't bear the loss that's why they come to open forums to write controversial blogs

You tagged a particular train & station where people will read your blogs & the

same time they will think that this place is very bad . You also wrote Disclaimer at the end by which it will be late for people to realise that this blog isn't targeted on a particular place.

So I told you remove the tag where you are kinda insulting Railfans of Malda District, & people don't hate Malda District. Hope you will listen it without confronting me

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
