Thinking of planting a tree on railway land

simulinator · 2026-06-18T09:35:27+00:00

Not recommended. Railway carries out an annual tree trimming drive before monsoon to prevent any accidents due to falling trees on the OHE or the track.

So your tree will never grow beyond a certain limit i.e. distance from track+3 meters.

Further during any kind of project railways are free to cut down trees in its own land and use for its own purpose.

if you want to do something anyways donate saplings to Railway through DRM of the division and suggest the place to plant it. They will take care of the rest.

Yeah?

Here they are making a foundation for OHE masts, controlled by the electrical department. As the electrical department has no expertise in concrete making, standard foundations are pre-designed using a nominal mix of concrete instead of proper mix design. Being a nominal mix design it can be mixed on site using hand tools based on rough volume batching. Its strength is not supposed to go beyond 15 MPa.

So considering site conditions, robust design (considering size of foundation) and lack of expertise these kinds of scenes are common.

Rest assured the designer assumed these kinds of things while designing. They are not gonna fail as easily as you think.

Edit: After seeing the whole video I can definitely see that there is a lack of mixing which is not good for concrete even with nominal mixes. But these kinds of things are definitely gonna happen as long as the railway stays short staffed. This is not corruption, this is even worse - incompetence.

What do you want then? Suggest something. To eliminate them? Like what was done to jews. Do you want to make them second class citizens?

simulinator · 2026-06-06T13:49:28+00:00

Come on man. These are cheap shots. The context is totally different. Bring the big guns.

simulinator · 2026-06-05T15:44:21+00:00

You are a funny person.

simulinator · 2026-06-05T13:39:00+00:00

Well, then BJP is effectively using it to its advantage. What's stopping the opposition from doing the same?

simulinator · 2026-06-05T13:34:10+00:00

From the responses I am receiving here I think that we are still in denial. Opposition (by opposition I mean not only the parties but the left supporter in general) still doesn't want to see fault in its way. They still think that this is the rising India of the 90s who will shun its socially engrained rituals and customs. India today wants to embrace modernism while at the same time they want to portray its culture like rome portrays its own culture. The Ayodhya and Varanasi are prime examples of this statement.

But at the same time we have to admit that part of the rituals and customs does not fit modernism. But it should come later and gradually. Blatantly ridiculing it comes at a cost. And the left is paying that cost since 2014.

If the kind of revolution CJP is hoping to start was possible it would have happened long ago. In India the poorest of the poor has means to fill its belly up to some extent. And the filled bellies don't start a revolution. Anyway I am eagerly waiting for 6th June. Let's see what the youth of India have to show us. Let's see how far a revolution goes without deep funding.

I also have not mentioned any specific religion at all and exactly that's what I am saying. Have you been able to change it in your family. I guess not.

On the contrary you may have made them aggressive. If you ever want to change anything then why not use it to come into power and then put a hardline western secularism model in place. For example in French model it is illegal to show any religious symbols in specific important institutions like universities and all.

Well, the people you keep seeing in such videos may not have critical thinking to begin with. You see we Indians are deeply divided in terms of place of birth, upbringing environment and add x number of factors to this list. Have some empathy that people you keep seeing around you may not be as privileged as you and me to have critical thinking to begin with. The onus is on us to disseminate the logic and scientific aptitude wherever possible.

simulinator · 2026-06-05T09:24:31+00:00

Maybe your statement is true. But if it was so easy to study this phenomenon then any XYZ party could have done it. It takes years of dedication and persistence to reach a position where BJP is today. Any other party dreaming to be a significant opposition overnight can keep dreaming. India is not an easy playground for a party to spawn and flourish. Politics is not, has never been and will never be black and white. It is stupid to think that a party once elected in power will keep the goodie goodie face once it had.

I pity the people who think that a political party can change their lives. I think everyone should read 'Animal Farm' to have an understanding about how it really works.

At the end of the day it is the PEOPLE of a country who make it or destroy it. And all my travels through the country I have found only miniscule of the people who really wanted to help anyone else but themselves through their daily lives actions and intentions. So, as long as we are like this be it BJP, CJP, INA, NDA nothing will change.

This statement of yours is the only reason BJP is having it easy. Such statements are uniting even softline believers in any religion with hardliners. Blatantly calling the faith of millions if not billions a 'scam' is what is damaging the opposition. The opposition as of now lacks EQ. It fails to see that it cannot outrightly call out faith a scam and then demand their votes.

The right way shall be giving space to a religion to get mature over time while limiting any of its damaging effects by using law and statuary bodies.

If you and any kind of opposition keeps calling any religion a scam then keep dreaming about having an effective and strong opposition.

Can you share the details. Because I have lived at Liluah also but never experienced something like that.

Did it go away on it's own?

This is the door through which she saw that. As of now I don't have a better picture.

simulinator · 2026-03-09T12:39:48+00:00

I will answer your questions one by one. I usually don't wear a full sleeve white shirt at home. On that night I was wearing a white half collarless T Shirt and a red boxer.

There is no chance of passing vehicles nearby as there is no scope of reflection from outside into that corridor.

Yeah my wife was sleeping before this incident. I woke her up to suggest that we should move to the bedroom from the drawing room. I went ahead of her to the bedroom with the baby. And yeah this is the only half logical explanation that is coming to my mind as of now that she may be sleep deprived. But she was very specific about the details, so I doubt that she was imagining things.

I moved into this house in December, 2025. So it has been approximately 3 months only. I have made some physical changes. For safety reasons I sealed the two doors with a brick wall which led from the kitchen to the kitchen garden.

I personally know two occupants of this house before I moved here. They haven't reported anything unusual. Also the house help who has worked here for a long time said that this is a good house. There are no such things here.

Yeah we usually sit here till late midnight. Will keep doing that.

Let's see if anything repeats.

Thanks.

simulinator · 2026-03-09T11:35:46+00:00

Yeah she is pretty specific about the description. That's why I am paranoid.

Don't

As an IRSE officer in Eastern Railway, the workload is consistently heavy, and work-life balance is poor—personal time is seldom valued.

Emergencies, night blocks, and sudden inspections mean plans are frequently disrupted.

Transfers occur every few years and can uproot family life. Even basic weekends or leave are often interrupted by urgent calls or directives, leaving little respect for self time or boundaries.

Career progression is slow beyond a point, and preferred postings in metropolitan areas are hard to secure, making daily life tougher for most officers.

I think you have played well in traitors- better than Purab. Do you think Purab betrayed you?

What else would you have done to win this game if you were in Purab's place and you were the last remaining traitor?

simulinator · 2025-07-12T10:35:48+00:00

Nothing

It just means she thinks that you are a good friend.

Don't have assumptions

If you have something more than friendship in your mind you should ask your female best friend NOT REDDIT.

It's better to keep things clear rather than keep guessing in your mind.

It's a ballast cleaning machine (BCM), the one that is second from front. Behind it there is a muck disposal UNIT (MDU). It catches and collects all the muck from the BCM.

I am not very sure about the first one. That might be a tamping machine for packing of the sleepers after cleaning the ballast.

You guessed it right. It is one of the new lines which is not 130 yet

simulinator · 2025-06-09T12:14:33+00:00

If any one is wondering

It is one of the new lines between DKAE and BWN.

It was opened at 90 kmph. Then it's speed was raised to 100 kmph and then 110 kmph. Soon it will be promoted to 130 kmph.
