93-yr-old Indian Railway historian, always an inspiration...
This man is such an inspiration at his age. Always a pleasure to catch up with when he is in Mumbai. 93-year-old railway historian Srinivasa Venkatraman from Chennai India is doing his fourth book and has been moving across the country to do his research. On Tuesday, he spent the day at the Maharashtra State Government Archives in Mumbai doing his research.
Was lucky to catch up with him for an hour talking about trains and railways.
