The number of daily passengers on the railways is said to be larger than the population of some countries. It also carries 1014.15 million tons of freight annually. Clearly, the Indian railway itself is a pride of the nation, but let us go a little deeper inside the topic and find out why the above mentioned two Indian trains are being compared with each other in terms of the nation’s pride.

Let’s first talk about The Maharajas’ Express, also known as the Indian luxury train. The name itself precisely states how royal this train is. Getting a ride of this luxury train costs quite a big amount but a traveller gets an amazing opportunity to experience royalty running on wheels.

The interiors are designed so beautifully keeping in mind The Indian Royal Heritage. It is well fitted with all the modern world-class comforts. The train runs pan-Indian voyages traversing through some of the most amazing destinations, vistas, and attraction of the country.

The travellers onboard this Indian luxury train gets an insight into the past lavishness of Indian royalty and because of all these myriad conducive features awards have made their way to Maharajas’ Express since its very inception. It has set a record with consecutive wins at the World Travel Awards. All in all this train is something worth praising for the exceptional idea behind starting it, which is to dignify our rich culture.

Till now one question has definitely arrived in your mind that “Is there any need to compare this luxury train with something like the Mumbai local train?” Yes, there is. Let’s find the reason why.

Local train is an effective mode of transportation for travelling distances within the city and connecting its suburbs. Mumbai’s local train network is the oldest railways system in Asia. It was inaugurated on April 16^th, 1853.

These trains are optimized to carry an average of 1700 people per journey but in actuality, a train will carry almost 5000 on average during peak hours. With a total of 7.5 million commuters daily(i.e., more than five times the population of Estonia, ten times the population of Bhutan and just a little less than the population of Switzerland) in 2,342 trains that run daily, that means 2.7 billion people use these trains every year.

Travelling on them is a whole other experience, not necessarily for the faint of heart. Mumbai local has taught people a small lesson of SHARING, popularly known as THE FOURTH SEAT wherein, there is always a place for a fourth person to sit on a seat of three. ANGER and FIGHTS become inevitable sometimes but for covering it up you can easily find a group of people doing BHAJAN KEERTAN. And trust me you’ll enjoy this more than your walkman or iPod.

There are a hundred people around you, people of all age groups and backgrounds. Everyone is an equal here and you have to accommodate to get accommodated. Adjusting to situations is something a quality you will realize here.

And the best part of all? You make new friends. A very unique group called TRAIN FRIENDS.

The Mumbai Local trains are unbeatable and unstoppable under any circumstances, not even terrorists could shut it down for long. It took all of three hours for the trains to start running again after the infamous 2006 serial blasts along the suburban railway line.

On one hand where The Maharaja’s express depict the royal culture of India through the ecstatic interior and the services are given to the commuters and on the other hand The Mumbai local train which itself is a model of our nation carrying people of different age, caste, creed, and background having a common goal to reach their destination. For some people, it may seem like just a mode of transportation but to many, it is a life-line, a model that holds on diversity, a plethora of human emotions reflecting moments of joy and sorrow.

      “IT IS NOT JUST A MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, IT IS A JOURNEY”.

It didn’t receive any award but it is the heart and soul of most the Indians.

The Mumbai Local is indeed a matter of pride, THE INDIAN PRIDE for a reason you see!

When people could not complete their resolution they simply say, ‘resolutions are meant to be broken’. But you can’t escape from the fact that you’re cheating yourself. This new year take such resolutions that you can fulfill. You really need not to take big steps which you find tough to do later. Most important is to add such things that will be of the same importance on any other day as important it sounds today.

So here are 5 such new year resolutions you can make that will not fail.

1. Me time – This is very important for enhancing yourself. Me time refers to the time we give to our self. Out of 24 hours, give at least half or one hour to you. In that time, do intra-personal communication, that is, to discuss in mind about the day, or things you should work upon. This will help to build confidence and will strengthen your pros and rectify the cons. This will surely help you to find the Real ‘You’.

2. Read something positive – Reading is the best exercise for your mind. Do read for 30 minutes to an hour on a regular basis. It makes the mind productive as while reading, you find new words, proverbs, idioms and a lot more. If you can’t find a book or a novel, just read newspapers. It will make your habit of reading as well as you will be aware of the happenings around you. A positive reading is emphasized here as people wish to find happiness in everything. And positive reading is a boon to the mind as well as body.

3. Give the right way to your hobby – Everyone has a hobby or liking to something, which, in this dynamic world, gets buried somewhere. So this year, get a fresh start and give your precious time to something which you were supposed to do long before. If you are a pet lover, then take your loving one home, caress them and enjoy with them. If you have a green thumb, then discover a small area in your home and grow some beautiful flowers there. All in all, in 2019, do in which you find comfort.

4. Overcome unhealthy behavior – Each one of us has gloomy- gleamy behavior. We get praised for your gleamy behavior, but often neglect our dark side. And sometimes, it creates trouble for us. If you really wish to find a way for it, try to find out those aspects which are the root cause of those gleamed behavior. Analyze and hit the root cause of the problem and it will be solved.

5. Believe in you and be happy – It is a very important and much-needed resolution to fulfill. People today are dramatic and always comparing their lifestyle with others, which make them sad. First of all, strike this thought out of your mind that you are unhappy and others, whom you see are happy and enjoying. It is the mindset and your will that can make you happy and satisfied even at the minimum resources as well as you can be pessimist even if you have everything along with you. Hence, good deeds and positive thoughts are key to happiness, and always be fortunate enough for the life you have got.

You can adapt and follow any of these resolutions, or/and take another one as per your needs. But be sincere to complete it and with no cheating. Wish you all a very happy and healthy and prosperous New Year.
