DRIVOBLOG® | 40 Hours of Train-ing with some Real Flashbacks [MUM-CCU]

btirthankar · 6th February 2010, 00:55

This describes my Train Journey from Mumbai to Kolkata, boarding at Kalyan Station and terminating at Howrah.

The special addition in this is the intro-flashback of my real past.

btirthankar · 6th February 2010, 01:05

Journey Date: 29 Jan 2010.

The Train was Holiday Special and I managed to book it just the day before.

MX6 · 6th February 2010, 01:07

LOL. This is interesting and hilarious. Above all it carries a childish innocence. You never cease to Amaze me.

btirthankar · 6th February 2010, 01:10

Here comes the Third & Final Set.

I also have some Videos, which i will post in due course.

Very nicely done BT.

I think after this photolog, we will all go back to train travel - it has evoked the nostalgia in me at least!

prateekm · 6th February 2010, 08:42

It appears boring in the beginning, but Just one trip can get one addicted.

Wow man, you take time out and edit those numerous pics you take and fill it up with your humour, that`s a talent man. It is much more interesting to see such edited pictures than to read written matter. I loved every part of it . Thanks man.

BT. Excellent flashback. Innocence blended with intelligence! Must have consumed lot of your time to compile this.

BTW, what if this happens ('quoted below')!!

No, no! we need the Guru to keep charting new routes and keep guiding the amateurish road enthusiasts!

Same here.

Aah! What an identity miss, Sir. I always remember your ID from the Toyota Thread but could not recognize you as I had never see your photo. See I acknowledged after 2 long years. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/suvs-m...ml#post1719139 (Toyota Innova Variant and TCO Analysis Workshop 2008)

If HVK stops driving, the GPS Satellites will start falling off their orbit one by one as a symbolic suicide gesture.

This Thread took me 7 long Days. There was no way I could do it any shorter. Its like Movie-Making >> Script, Screenplay, Cinematography, Direction, Editing, Exhibition.

Thanks. Thats what made me present it in this fashion.

sbraj · 6th February 2010, 13:41

Great reading.

The photos do narrate a story. And bring in fresh perspectives.

mjothi · 6th February 2010, 15:20

BT, I am wondering how are you managing to do all these. You got immense creativity and ofcourse patience

Nice and interesting tag lines.

Keep it flowing...

MileCruncher · 6th February 2010, 22:24

Good photolog TB, keep going.

BTW those sand blasters on the WAG-5A is new thing that I wasn't aware off. But aren't these 5000HP engines supposed to to be new generation. But they are in old bodies. Can any IRFCA member clarify please.
