Chenab

The Chenab Rail Bridge, nestled in the rugged Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir, is a breathtaking testament to modern engineering and decades-long perseverance. Envisioned as part of the ambitious Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), its roots trace back to the laying of the project's foundation stone in 1983, though full-scale construction only gained momentum in the mid-1990s. Approved in 2003, the bridge's journey was marked by delays due to the region’s formidable terrain and the need for design recalibrations, pushing work to resume earnestly in 2010. Constructed through the concerted effort of Indian Railways’ Konkan Railway Corporation with Afcons Infrastructure, Ultra Construction, VSL India, and global design expertise, the Chenab Bridge represents a deck-arch structure composed of steel and concrete, stretching about 1,315 meters (4,314 feet) in total length. Its defining feature is a colossal steel arch spanning 467 meters (1,532 feet), the longest of ...

Sham Kaushal

Good morning,  Today, I want to tell you a story — not of a superhero from the movies, but of a man who created heroes on screen, by designing the breathtaking action scenes that millions watch in awe. His name is Sham Kaushal , one of India’s most respected stunt directors and action choreographers. But his journey did not begin with fame, success, or glamour. It began in a small village in Punjab, in a simple home, with big dreams and very limited means. Sham Kaushal completed his Master's degree in English and once hoped to become a lecturer. Life, however, had other plans. Due to financial hardship, he had to give up his academic ambitions and work odd jobs to survive. Eventually, he moved to Mumbai — the city of dreams — with very little money in his pocket. He struggled to find work and often survived on meals that cost just one rupee . Imagine that — one rupee per meal. But instead of giving up, he kept going. He started working as a stuntman — a job full of risk, dan...

DEEP MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

The Deep Meaning of Christmas: Hope, Light, and New Beginnings Christmas is more than a yearly celebration filled with lights, gifts, and traditions. At its core, Christmas is the celebration of hope entering the world. It reminds us that even in the darkest seasons, light can still be born, and even in our most difficult moments, love can still find us. This message is rooted not only in faith, but also in history, symbolism, and universal human experience. Light Born in Darkness Christmas takes place near the winter solstice, the darkest time of the year in many parts of the world. Ancient cultures viewed this season as a turning point—when the days stop getting shorter and light begins to grow again. Christian tradition builds on this symbolism by describing Jesus as the “Light of the World,” bringing spiritual clarity and hope during a time of social, political, and emotional darkness. In this sense, the birth of Jesus becomes a reminder that light always has the final word...

Railway Passenger Train 1st time in India

16 April 1853 is an important Milestone in Indian History when the Railway Passenger Train Ran for the 1st time in India. This Train Crossed 34 km between Mumbai (then Bombay) and Thane. This historic journey was the beginning of the era of modern transportation in India, which had a profound impact on Indian society, economy and culture. The first passenger train travelled from Boribandar station (present Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj terminus) to Thane. This train had three engines - Sahib, Sindh and Sultan. There were 14 cans on the train and there were 400 passengers on board. During this historic journey, the train started its journey with a salute of 21 cannons. The journey was completed in about 75 minutes and laid the foundation for the development of Indian Railways. The railway network in India expanded rapidly, after the successful event of the first train journey. Till the end of the 19th century, thousands of kilometres of railway lines were laid in India. This not only ...

Jim Reeves

Gentleman Jim Reeves was perhaps the biggest male star to emerge from the Nashville sound. His mellow baritone voice and muted velvet orchestration combined to create a sound that echoed around his world and lasted for decades to follow. Reeves was capable of singing hard country ("Mexican Joe" went to number one in 1953), but he made his greatest impact as a country-pop crooner. From 1955 through 1969, Reeves was consistently on the country and pop charts -- a remarkable fact in light of his untimely death in an airplane accident in 1964. Not only was he a presence on the American charts, but he became country music's foremost international ambassador and, if anything, was even more popular in Europe and Britain than in his native U.S. Several of his posthumous hits actually outsold his earlier singles; no less than six number one singles arrived in the three years following his burial. In fact, during the '70s and '80s, he continued to have hits with both unrele...
