@Karan, By saying "we IRFCAns" I hope you're not speaking on behalf of all IRFCA-ians and certainly not the regular travellers. For one, your perception of the "enthusiasm dying down" is downright rubbish - because that's not the case, and if you see some snaps, it does the daily travellers at the loco which I think automatically stands to rubbish your claim.

If you are so much interested in knowing about celebration on 2123, you should personally travel to Mumbai and cover the same.

@ Karan :- From past two years Mumbai members [including you] have been coming to Pune for celebration rather than covering the 2123 Celebrations fully at CSTM. There is more than enough coverage of DQ's birthday here in Pune , we need more from the...

@ Karan :- From past two years Mumbai members [including you] have been coming to Pune for celebration rather than covering the 2123 Celebrations fully at CSTM. There is more than enough coverage of DQ's birthday here in Pune , we need more from the 2123 Down DQ's celebration from the Platform number 8 of CSTM , that's what Appu sir meant and nothing wrong.
