Hi there! It´s been a drab day here. Just gray, with lots of wet stuff coming down. I spend a few hours in front of the idiot box, watching a triple feature on Indian narrow gauge railways. The first part was on the Kamla - Shimla line, built by the Brits in the late 1890´s to reach their "Hill Station" in Simla, where the Colonial Government resided during the hot summer months. The second part portrayed the Kangra Valley Railway, again built by the Brits. The third part showed the MAtheran Hill Railway, a mountain railway to a resort town up in the hills, where rich people from Mumbai (Bombay) spend relaxing weekends in the cool mountain air. This is the one and only line not initiated by the British, but some wealthy rajah wanting to have a more comfortable way up there. Watching these films made me forget my nagging back pain that started this morning. No MRRing today, not even making any plans... Have a happy weekend!
