Varanasi to Bhusaval by Mahanagri Exp. - July 1992: On our return journey to Bombay, we decided to stop for a day at Bhusaval to spend time with my uncle and family. My uncle used to be the DRM of Bhusaval at that time. This video footage is very precious to me, since it has my only coverage of WDM4 locos in action and a steam-hauled MG train. Apart from these, be sure to enjoy the following:
- Coverage of Varanasi station
- Sarnath Exp. getting shunted in

Bombay to Varanasi by Mahanagri Exp. - July 1992: This was my wife's first trip to my birthplace. We had been married for just over two weeks when we made the journey. The chosen accommodation was AC 2-tier. Back then, Mahanagri still boasted of some good runs including a non-stop one from Manmad to Bhusaval. Be sure to enjoy the following:
- Halts at Nasik Road, Itarsi, Jabalpur
- Madan Mahal skip

My opinion- What if NDLS-LKO AC superfast Extended to Varanasi by changing its catagory to Rajdhani with a slight speedup which is perfectly possible.
(If required add 2 extra coach as a compensation for Lucknow people)
This will serve 2 purpose Varanasi will get rajdhani & Patna rajdhani ki legacy maintain rahegi as discussions being going on for route change.

If Delhi is Indraprastha then it was build by Pandavs during Mahabharat time.
Hastinapur and Mathura are both older.
In Mahabharat Kashi/Magadh is mentioned.
Ayodhya is said to be the first capital of the world and Kashi is way before Ayodhya too.

Kashi = Panchkosh area chosen by Mahadev
Varanasi = Area surronded by Varuna and Ashi Rivers. Expanded version of Kashi.
Kashi is there since antiquity.

Nature is beautiful and to appreciate it as a nature lover, is everywhere. Not bounded to a protected area, or limited to be captured only using a professional kit. A long journey exactly provides a lovely opportunity to refresh your eyes from mundane day to day scenes.

Inframes: The Narmada and the Tawa river (lifeline of Satpuda Tiger Reserve) in her true elements - wild, clean and young. So happy to see the crystal clear waters of our great rivers. Captured from 12322 - Mumbai-Howrah Mail.

    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...
