There’s a young boy in the family who’s crazy about Vande Bharat.
Every time we talk, he tells me new facts about the train. Technical stuff. He knows it all.
But he had never travelled in it.
Two weeks ago, he got to ride the Delhi-Lucknow Shatabdi. That made him happy.
Today, we had to take a 5-hour journey together. I booked Vande Bharat tickets without telling him.
Thought I’d surprise him.
We reached the station. The moment he found out we were boarding Vande Bharat, his face lit up.
He was so excited. Couldn't stop talking about it.
The train was 20 minutes late. But that didn’t bother him.
We got in.
He looked around, smiling wide.
We found our seats.
He quickly placed us there like a little host.
Then came his first words —
“Shatabdi is better.”
Horrific act of terror that the people of Israel are waking up to this morning. AG Pam Bondi called to let me know and was at the scene. 2 dead in shooting targeting Israeli embassy staffers outside Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. https://t.co/4sdFcgJ4T1
Breaking:
Sources: Stoppage of firing & military action between India & Pakistan was worked out directly between the two countries. Pak DGMO initiated the call this afternoon after which discussions took place & understanding reached.
Fellow Amritsarites & friends near the border,
Misinformation fuels panic.
