Dilkusha level-Xing

The Dilkusha level-crossing has remained locked permanently for many
years since it led to private property and had gradually become a

The Lake

Wednesday Aug 17, 2011
Every monsoon the dry lake-bed becomes a lake again and as the river
nearby rises it turns into a sheet of water. What will happen to all
the stonework done by Maya's engineers. They seem to have not done

place.

WHAT THE BRITISHERS DIDN'T SUCCEED IN DOING, WE ARE EXCELLING IN!!  Sir Winston Churchill wrote 64 years ago about India :  "Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India."   We are indeed an incredible NATION; we have worked very hard and we have indeed proved him right.....
