ED WAP4 22654 entering MAS with 12622 TN Express on 23.10.2015. That's the first view of Chennai I witnessed and today I complete one year on this land.
.
From the super-clean Pandiyan at MS to the stinking Vivek at CAPE, from the lip smacking breakfast of DQ to a very different biryani at BBS, from the Eastern coast to the Western Ghats, the year has been absolutely amazing in context of RF. I recollect life-long memories of the MAS based RF spread across the last twelve months.
