It was 9th October when I found myself hurrying towards NDLS. Twas going to be a great day for me as I would do group rail fanning for the very first time. But As fate would have it, I got a bit late (around 10 minutes) in reaching NDLS & hence missed meeting Kaushal bro who had already Departed onboard 12440 Ranchi Rajdhani. Another rf, Shivam had to depart from NDLS early due to some unavoidable circumstances. My excitement faded away a bit as we were reduced in numbers. But soon, I found myself enjoying again when I met the other two rfs- Mr. Vivek Dassani & Suryam Raj- Two very friendly albeit a little funny IRI Members. We wasted no time & got to work in a flash. For the very first time, I explored NDLS in...
more... such a manner- visiting different platforms & capturing trains which I hadn't done before. We even captured parallel departure of SDAH Raj & BCT Raj. We then saw off Suryam who departed with Sampoorna Kranti Express. Overall it was a very enriching & enjoying experience where I got to learn about many new things.
