A beautiful John Whitely photo from 1981, of a beautifully turned-out YP 2178, built by Krauss-Maffei, Germany in 1954 at Indore Jn. Originally founded in 1838, it was destroyed during World War-II & supplied loco manufacturing technology to the Tatas. Sachin Kalbag Somnath Mukherjee

दुष्ट और सज्जन की मित्रता जानने में #भर्तृहरि का यह श्लोक बहुत सहायक है, पढ़िए और पहचानिए दोनों के अन्तर को -

आरम्भगुर्वी क्षयिणी क्रमेण
लघ्वी पुरा वृद्धिमुपैति पश्चात्।
दिनस्य पूर्वार्धपरार्थभिन्ना
छायेव मैत्री खलसज्जनानाम्॥
सा विद्या या विमुक्तये Hathyogi (हठयोगी) Meenakshi Sharan १/२

A beautiful photo of Madras Janatha Express being hauled by WP 7021, captured by Terry Case at Nagpur in January 1983! This WP series loco was in a small batch of 30 locos imported from Fablok, a loco manufacturer based in Chrzanów, Poland, in 1958-59. Sachin Kalbag Somnath Mukherjee

Have this amazing book on Ram Setu. Printed in 1929, by Vanamallai Pillai at the behest of the then Raja of Ramanad: Setupati.

Would you know of any who would be interested in buying this book from me? Do share!

Thanks!

'All About a Temple', by Shri G.B. Deglurkar, and translated by Shefali Vaidya. 🇮🇳 is a small and short treasure.
Short chapters and photographs throughout, I hope to finish this book shortly🙂

A beautiful photo of YP 2799 Bangalore-Miraj Express screaming out of Bengaluru in the late 1970s! It ran from Bengaluru to Miraj Junction as Kittur Express during the Meter gauge era. It's now called the Rani Chennamma Express which runs from Sangli. Sachin Kalbag Somnath Mukherjee

Bibek Debroy Mint RCB match, IPL season,
Leave from office, valid reason.
She a fan of Virat,
But camera played the Poirot.
Hiding from cameras, an important lesson!

Bibek Debroy Mint A CATCH 2 SITUATION!

She bunked her office to watch
Her RCB team in an IPL match.
But was caught on TV by her boss
As RCB posted yet another loss!
It was 'business as usual' for RCB is another catch!

TattvamAsi★ Under clear summer skies once so blue,
Soft white fluff gently starts to accrue.
With whispers of showers
In these mid-day hours,
The vibrant blue bids us adieu.

Today's #MintMetric by Bibek Debroy!

হাগুর সবে বেগ এসেছে
তিনটে বিড়ি ফুঁকে,
সকাল সকাল যেই বসেছি
পায়খানাতে ঢুকে--

জানলা ভেঙে হুমড়ি খেয়ে
একটা নেতা ঢুকে,
মুচকি হেসে ভোট ভিক্ষা
চাইল প্রণাম ঠুকে!

বেদম ভয়ে চমকে উঠে
লুকোচ্ছি যেই ইসে,
ওমনি নেতা বললে, দাদা
লজ্জা আবার কিসে?

Bibek Debroy Mint Inspired by golmaal movie
she cooked up an emergency
taking leave to watch cricket
spotted in live match telecast
didn't anticipate, tricks of technology.

Bibek Debroy Mint A RCB fan took emergency leave
Taking cues from Golmal, we believe

Her secret was out
Spotted on live TV beyond any doubt

Now face the Boss, who fell to the artful guise of deceive!

Bibek Debroy Mint A family emergency the RCB fan said,
A relative on his or her death bed?
She wanted to watch the match,
Her face TV cameras did catch,
And in embarassment did her face turn red!

Today's Mint Metric in Mint
A RCB fan sought to deceive
And applied for emergency leave.
Though a story she did contrive, 
On TV she was spotted live.
What a tangled web we weave.

यथा चित्तं तथा वाचो यथा वाचस्तथा क्रियाः।
चित्ते वाचि क्रियायां च साधूनामेकरूपता।।

श्रेष्ठ जन वही बात बोलते है जो उनके मन में होती है, वे जो बोलते हैं, वैसा ही आचरण करते हैं। श्रेष्ठ पुरुषों के मन, वचन व कर्म में समानता होती है जबकि दुष्ट के मन, वाणी और कर्म में भिन्नता होती है।
