Chapter 1

HUM SAFAR

Prologue

The picture in the banner is the Tunnel of love in Klevan, Ukraine. A train does pass through the beautiful tunnel, though it unromantically carries raw materials to a paperboard factory.

For those unfamiliar with various configurations that Indian Railway cars come in, the first AC car comes in two configurations. A 2 passenger/4 passenger coupe as it is called. Each coupe has doors that can be closed off ensuring safety and privacy for the passengers.

The ageing fleet of MIGs & Sukhois of the Indian Air Force are sadly called Flying Coffins or Widow-Makers. Over the past 40 years the IAF has lost more than half its fleet in crashes. Families of 171 pilots, 39 civilians and 7 members of allied services have lost their loved ones to these flying coffins. Thankfully MIGs have been grounded and the hope is that the Sukhois will soon follow. By using it as part of the storyline, it is not my intention to be frivolous or to trivialize the sacrifices of our military to our nation.

Hum Safar will be a two/three shot FF. Buddy me for PMs. Teaser will be posted tomorrow. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
