================================================== ====
It's just over an year since i made the visit in the month of April'14.I was coming back from Ahmedabad and heading back to Rajahmundry with my tickets booked in 17222 and it was such a relief as we were approaching Mumbai because the whole of India was under an intense 'Heat Wave' but there was a low pressure area hovering around Western Coastal Maharashtra due to which there was rain all around.So without wasting any time,lemme present

Thanks for such kind words though i am not sure if i am worthy of it. :) I often think i can lay a bit more emphasis on presenting the journey from a more personal point of view,like in this case i actually dropped my cell phone in a puddle when i was getting out of the cab at L.T.T but luckily it wasn't the one that i used to capture the images but a rather basic cellphone which tend to be sturdy and tend to withstand whatever hostilities we put them through. :D

don't know if it's the right thing or not but i tend to concentrate more on the infrastructure around when it comes to images be it the land bank,near by surroundings,the platforms and last but not the least the trains and since i tend to write an essay describing the images,i don't wanna fill it up with even more words and cramp everything up.
.
I am always humbled when i come across a message like yours and i am usually asking myself questions as to what's the best way to reply.May be when you let your heart dictate the words........is probably the best way to reply back and so i did and the process of learning and improving never stops and thank you once again for taking a few seconds out in posting the message. :)
