A friend of mine asked me few days back about what is ecstasy.i explained him to the best of my knowledge but could not convince him,as i myself didnt know what ecstasy is. But had he asked me the question today,i would not only demonstrate but also have him experience what was ecstasy. Yes, today was the day when i, along with pkv sir, wrik and souvik had spent the day at Chittaranjan Locomotive Workshop, along with some city fanning at kalyaneshwari temple and maithon dam cum hydroelectricity project.

opportunity so rare,yet to be cherished.
A red letter day indeed, not only for railfans,but for any individual,as such rare chances,comes once in a lifetime. And to visit the oldest locomotive workshop of republic of india is something unmatched.Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru had once said on his maiden visit to clw...maithan dam and clw are the new temples of modern india,and very rightly so. To the best of my knowledge, this was certainly the first time a group of rail fans from iri,and possibly any rail related website had visited CLW,one of the nurseries which nurtures the power horses that help to keep the wheels of the nation moving.
It all began with a ping of pvt post by pkv sir,a few months back asking me for available dates,as he was planning to organise a trip to clw...and viola,today is the day. A dream realised. A chance grabbed.Some feelings cannot be described. It can only be experienced. And this was one of them. Glad to be a part of this "project",as what i would call it.
