Or if worse comes to worse, just use your elbow!! Its very effective! :P

Agree here but still with small hammer, where will be the force coming from as force is directly proportional to mass. Perhaps the force will come from human hand but with a lethal blow, the wooden handle can break as it is tapering upwards.

Not effective? I beg to disagree. The hammer is conically shaped at the two ends. The design of this hammer is such that with one blow cracks will start to originate from the point of impact and leave a hole. The reason being a pointed hammer delivers a greater amount of stress than a flat hammer. The same principle is also applied to cut glasses using a sharp diamond tip.

A good rare capture.

Something that I have been trying to photograph for decades! Rat inside the train!! Gupta, you have got hold of the one who would win the frequent traveler contest on Indian Railways. Thanks a lot for the pic.

'Get Hunted', the solution lies right there in the newspaper ;-)

It is for coasting,long down gradient ahead.There should have been a triangle painted in black below the arrow mark.If I remember correctly,I have seen such a sign in NGP-ET section 2years ago !

I think it means do coasting as a down gradient ahead

coasting , continuous down gradient, the driver may notch down to zero and coast.
