My Books
My journey as an author began with my first independent book, 'Halt Station India - The Dramatic Tale of the Nation’s First Rail Lines (Rupa 2015)', released by India’s Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu at the dining hall of UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site of Mumbai CSMT.
This was followed by an endorsed biography of India's iconic railway engineer Dr E Sreedharan and more books on the sub-continent's rail history, heritage and trains.
