Kerala Chalo Kerala!!


Go Kerala !!!
Small things can make a big difference. The new facelift for Trivandrum Rajdhani was a welcome change from some our very dreary looking trains of Indian Railways. The entire train looks like a brochure of verdant Kerala with Kathakali dancers , pachyderms of Periyar , Waterfalls and other typical Kerala scenes painted on the entire train. The staff well dressed in impressive new uniforms and the food and services are much improved ! . Hardly any plastic wrapping. What a great way to advertise Kerala around the country . I could see kids leaving a roadside game of cricket in some Haryana town to come rushing to see the colourful train chugging slowly in the fog. People had smiles on railway platforms. We had roses , newspapers and neat white bed linen wrapped in brown paper envelopes in my first class compartment. Mamta Didi !!Urrey baba ! Ki Bhalo lagche!!!!! Parantu this was sponsored by Kerala Toursim and Kumari Selja inaugurated it. Now we have senior Tour Manager Parveen Paul posing for it!!! Way to go Kerala!
