A postcard from vimal: LONDON BRIDGE IS NOT FALLING DOWN

Hi guys- feels great to be back on home terrain where dal, chawal, sabzi and achaar feels like a lavish spread. Simply fed up of the continental taste of hotels, doesn’t matter however many stars are tagged on to them. First thought of excusing myself with the stylish pretext of a jet lag but couldn’t manage to stay off. So just spent about an hour going through the blog and the comments that I had missed out on. But what’s this I see? It’s like a merry- go- blog wherein only a few ‘nerds’ are still whirling around like crazy. I had thought by now the seats would all be occupied. There are still about ten empty spaces (as I notice on the board). Are these guys at least watching the fun or are they not even present?
Henry, except for his lone comment has vanished like the dodo. So has Sush, the first timer(trying her luck for Miss Universe or what?) Ashoo, with her sweet fotus is threatening to do the same (the dodo act, not the pageant). Louis is planning a sudden sojourn to Goa (wonder what triggered his fascination for beaches.)Someone is waiting with bated breath for someone else to appear- okay I’m back so Sarita now you can exhale. Stan, after Vimal disclosed his true colours, is on a railway bashing spree (does he even have an inkling that my hubby works for this organization?) Faiyaz with his 'isms' is busy trying to outwit even Siddhu. Alpana dear, I’ve got a message for you from the Queen herself. I believe your beautiful usage of her language sans any capital letters and full stops, is giving her endless nightmares. So if you are bent upon turning Prince Charles into King Charles, you can continue with your mission. The founder of the blog is desperately wanting a name change, which by the way I’m now going to suggest. Luckily for all you guys, whilst strolling in Stratford upon Avon, chewing on the quill in my hand, I was inspired with this bhery bhery original phrase which I hope all of you will like- "WHAT'S IN A NAME?" That which we will call anything else will still be a postcard from Vimal!

Nargis --dont take it as a Railway bashing --far from it -- I am a gricer, luv the railway life, the railway institutes, the way they have crisscrossed India like arteries, and the fact they work 24/7 -- however, one cannot help taking a potshot at bureaucratese once in a while --so please stop that telegram to Lalooji asking him to make me to deprive me of the world's best cheapest mobile club, where Life meets India - The Indian Railways

Where else will you find a Chaiyan Chaiyan Class?

Too mean to hit out at the best organisation.I will make your statistics right, Indian railways inspite of all the losses and inspite of 10% of the employees actually working, inspite of all the losses in the yards, inspite of the wagons lying 10 years after the accident. IS STILL THE MOST PROFITABLE ORGANISATION.no wonder Ambanis said they will make tracks of Gold.
