Bholu!

This is one of my favourite mascots. This is Bholu, a cartoon elephant adopted by the Indian Railways on the occasion of completing 150 years. Bholu gives a smiling welcome to me every morning when I go to Rail Bhawan to drop my mom. He patiently keeps standing in the same position and greets me in the evening as well, when it is time for me to pick my mom up from the office. He is a nice addition to the Indian Railways family! :-)

Lighted Rail Bhawan

This is Rail Bhavan, office of the Ministry of Indian Railways. With my mother working in the ministry for over 25 years now, I have practically grown in this office. Seeing it decorated and well lit up with the tri-color of our country proudly adorning its face, with the steam engine in the fore, I felt extremely proud and happy to click this particular photograph!

Hilda from Manila, who is always Happy At Home and proudly shares My Manila with the world, tagged me to reveal five details about myself. And being a narcissist of the first order, my delight knew no bounds at the task… hehehe. So here I go:

1. I love to read and take ages to finish a book, as I tend to turn back pages several times.
2. Coffee, shopping and travelling have a neck to neck competition when vying for my attention.
3. Friends mean the world to me and I love to embarrass them by writing about them on Priyanka’s Point.
4. I love Shah Rukh Khan.
5. I am a true-blooded Gemini with 100 things on my mind all the time and another hundred that I try to work on at the same time.

Now I'm supposed to tag five other people. I hope they'll come out and play!

1. Patty Lincoln, Brookville
2. R.Ramesh, Dubai
3. Anu, Mumbai
4. One More Anu, Mumbai
5. Andrea, Hamburg

Bholu

This is "Bholu", the Indian Railways mascot adopted on the occasion of the department completing 150 years. This particular statue stands gaurd at Rail Bhavan, 1, Raisina Road, New Delhi. It is a very cute elephant who is dressed in the official garb of the Railway guard.
