Long train running	5.8.2017	Deccan Herald - Supplements
On a hot April afternoon in 1853, Sindh, Sultan and Sahib, three steam engines, coughed smoke, rumbling in readiness to tug 14 garlanded coaches into the annals of history. On board were its elite guests, Lady Falkland, wife of the Governor of Bombay, besides 400 dignitaries, royalty, merchants and sahibs as the hoi polloi waited with bated breath along the sidelines. Flagged off with a 21-gun salute and wild applause, the train let out a long whistle and rolled out at exactly 3.35 pm from Bombay's Bori Bunder station. The 21-mile journey to Tannah (Thana) was covered in an hour and 15 minutes and marked the first commercial passenger service in India. It was the dawn of the bold new age of the railways… Nearly 164 years later, whatever direction the tracks have taken, the Indian Railways has trailblazed new frontiers and altered the very economics and social construct of the country. From the tea gardens of Nilgiris and Assam to mountain ranges of the Sahyadris and the Shivaliks, there's no ...

He is working with Kannan Devan Hills Plantations Company Pvt Ltd and when they were in Bengaluru, we joined them on their return journey to Munnar by car. After having lunch at Udumalpet, we started navigating the ghat section. As we dove up the Munnar hills, we could see only dried-up plants and shrubs initially. But soon, the greenery started unfolding. A journey of nearly two hours brought us to the bungalow occupied by the couple. Where did we go? We got up early next morning to hear the singing of birds. As we started our morning walk, we were stopped by the whistles of a rare bird, which sounded like that of a school boy. The bird has been appropriately named as 'whistling school boy'! We enjoyed this walk on all the six days of our stay in Munnar. During our stay, we visited the Tea Museum, set up by Tata Tea, which is located at Nallathanni Estate. At the museum, we had a look at the curios, photographs and ...
