This marks the Railway Week Celebrations India. In the South, the first railway line was opened on 1st July, 1856 between Vyesarpaudy and Walajah Road (Arcot) a distance of 101 kilo Meters. Today the Southern Railway is 90 % BG railways system and marching ahead to achieve the highest point of efficiency. Congratulations to all who were awarded with the FA&CAO/MAS level awards.

It is break from routines of tests, early rise up, wearing uniforms, cumbersome shoes with white socks etc. She likes to travel during annual vacation. Already her grandma in Madurai and uncle in Ooty sent invitations to her to join them. Tanya always preferred to go to Madurai for her maternal grandma lived there. Grandma’s house is located out side Madurai city on the way to Vatalagundu the way to climb to Kodaikanal hills. Tanya liked grandma’s house not because it is located on the way to Kodaikanal but it is the village situation, which she loved most. In the evenings, her grandma would ask her grandchildren nine of them in a circle and use to tell stories of hoary past of the princes and princesses, the seven hills and seven seas, the evil magician and all that. Tanya loved those stories. Her father said that the choice was hers and Tanya decided wisely first to Madurai and later to Ooty. On the first day of her arrival, Tanya noticed that grandma left a bucket full of water every morning outside their house. She wondered why she did it. The next day morning, she asked grandma the reason for her action. Grandma explained that she learnt it form her grandma. During summer, the heat is terrible in Madurai and its surroundings. Even human beings thirst a lot. What about the birds and animals during the summer and where will they find water to drink. So during summer she used to leave a bucket full of water for the birds and small animals to quench their thirst. Tanya learnt one more lesson from her grandma as she does in every visit. Hello reader it is not only for Tanya but also for you. Will you please follow Tanya’s grandma and quench the thirst of birds and small animals?
