An interesting #Thread!

A couple of days back, I was tagged by @aparanjape to help @Vporia (whom I hadn't known earlier), whose 83-year old father had left behind his laptop bag in the Nizamuddin-Vasco express, while getting down at Pune station on 10th August. #IndianRailways
Receiving such a request more than a week after it happened makes the location of the lost item a little difficult. I decided to give it a chance and posted the travel details of her father, Mr.K.B.L.Saxena, along with a brief description of the item in the ADRMs #WhatsApp group.
Being the ADRM-I of the Chennai division in @GMSRailway, I am also a member of a WhatsApp group that connects the ADRMs in almost all the 68 divisions of #IndianRailways. I tagged ADRM/Pune who told me that the item would have gone with the train to Vasco da Gama station, #Goa.
But Mrs.Neelam Saxena, ADRM/Pune, took interest and informed the counterpart of the Hubbali division (@drmubl) as the Vasco da Gama station falls in his jurisdiction. She got the message that the bag had been located by the Carriage maintenance staff, who had given it to the RPF.
Mrs.Saxena also gave me the numbers of the Carriage Depot officer and the RPF Inspector at Vasco station, Mr.Ritish Kumar, which I promptly messaged to @Vporia. She contacted the RPF Inspector who probably informed her about how the bag can be collected from him at Vasco station.
The bag is to be collected by a friend of @Vporia from the RPF Inspector and it is likely to reach her and her father probably by tomorrow. It's a story about how one tweet could activate a network of senior officers to look for one precious item left behind in a train.
I am happy that I could be of some help, even if the incident didn't take place in my jurisdiction. I'm sharing this incident so that people may still repose some amount of trust in the services of public authorities. Thanks to all those who helped locate the bag! #IndianRailways

Lunchtime humour - A Chief Electrical Engineer of a PSU sent a proposal for the import of a 440V, 500 HP, 50 cycles squirrel cage induction motor to the finance manager (FM).

After going through the proposal the FM turned down the proposal with the following remarks:

Contd1/4
1. Cycles are manufactured in India by many companies and what is the necessity to import them?

2. Even if it has to be imported, why 50 cycles. Can't you manage with 15 cycles?

3. Squirel cages can be purchased from any hardware store. Why it should be imported?

Contd... 2/4
4. What is the need of double voltage (440v) when 220 v is easily available everywhere.

On receiving the return of the proposal and going through the remarks, the Chief Electrical Engineer was hospitalised due to shock.

Contd... 3/4

Friends, after keeping me in the dark about the reason for the suspension of my earlier handle, @rananth, @Twitter notified me that the cause of suspension was an alleged copyright violation under DMCA. But they didn't inform me which was the tweet which violated the rules.
Even though I agreed to abide by the rules of copyright and preferred another appeal, they haven't revoked the suspension of my account. I have therefore decided to open another account and start my innings afresh. Looking forward to a better experience this time around.
But we must all raise our voice against this arbitrary suspension of accounts by @Twitter without assigning any reason and not disclosing the reasons for the same for days together. If there was a copyright violation, they could have deleted the tweet in question.
