Proud Of Our Railways????

Consider anything in this world comparision is the first thing that pops up in our mind.
I am not against this inbuilt tradition that is present in all of us right from our childhood.
It may be anything maybe even a small pen,people while buying always compare in terms of quatity that you are getting,or quality that product serves to you or the cost it offers for the same quality .We homosapiens are aways choosy and we have a tendency to appreciate others and feel depressed of oursleves by comparing.

You may be wondering the relation between the tilte and the intro of this article.I think the time has arrived to appreciate our own thing.Its INDIAN RAILWAYS.

Indian railways is one of the biggest networks in the world.There may be many points in having a huge debate about the pros and cons of our railway system.Way back in 1850

little did our ancestors knew that this boxes that run on straight iron rods puffing huge amount of carbondioxide out in the air would be one of the most reliable form of transport in our country.Though this system was actually gifted by the engilsh,but maintaing that and making it a huge succees was in our hands.

This network in our country has enlarged so much that the distance travelled by all the trains in our country is equal to 3.5 times distance to move.To maintain this huge network it offers almost 1.6 million employes i.e, almost 1 in 25 in our is working in this department.Its not just reliable just because of this huge network connecting to corners parts of this country ,its also liked because of its justified cost,saftey,comfort etc...From children to aged railways are one that are prefferd.People may compare with the clealiness to other railways in different parts of the globe,but this problem exists in almst all parts of department present,but you cant deny the fact that this problem is getting better compared to earlier days.This will anyway continue if people voluntirely litter around them.

People may also raise the fact about timings and speed of our trains with those of other nations.Timings in indian railways would have differed due to gunuine reasons may be some repair in the tracks,or due to pooor visibility,our due to some techinical reasons.And you may have noticed in recent times the percentage of this issues is has decreased tremondously.And maintaing this huge network 24/7*365 days which include varitey of people ,variety of places may be hill station,or places having extreme temperatures is not an easy task.

And not to forget luxury trains in indian may still stand in the front roww ofour list.Trains like golden chariot,Mahraja Express,Palace on Wheels etc which showcaes or tradition and our heritage makes our railwys much more exciting.

So having said its easy to point out fingers but the amount of effort that pushes this railways to greater extent never hides .So its our responsibility also to give a helping hand in making this relilable form of transport in our country to raech greater heights
