I guess a reality check was due at sometime. Three days of meetings in the corridors of power in Delhi. Three days of seeing the very best India had to offer. Three days of wonderful and insigthful encounters and drives through the most tree-lined and well-maintained neighbourhoods in the country. And then it ends with this: At 8:00 pm at the New Delhi Railway station, around a thousand passengers are told that the Magadh Express to Bihar has been cancelled.
The station-master gives no reason and tells me that this is India, so tough luck! The Delhi to Bihar sector is one of the most used ones in the Indian Railways but a train can be cancelled for no apparent reason. "Tell the Angrez that this happens here," said a man in the station-master's office who probably sees this kind of drama regularly.
