Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India:

YOU say that our Government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say that the System is corrupt. In such a dealing, Someone Gives, the Other Takes, both are to equally blame.

YOU say, say and say.

What is Your Role? And what do YOU do about it?

'Fairy Queen' of the Indian Railways


This is the oldest working steam locomotive in the country, 1855 vintage. On 15 Aug 1854, it steamed from Howrah to Hooghly to a distance of 24 miles. It also hauled troops to Raniganj in the 1857 war of independence.

Now is an exhibit at the Indian Railways Museum in New Delhi since 1971.
