I saw from the timetable board at Balaghat that the BG line has been extended to Katangi. That is why Balaghat is a junction, with lines going to Gondia and Katangi (BG) and Jabalpur (NG). Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Nov 13 13:33:07 +0000 |

Wonderful! Posted by Dr. Himagirish Rao on 2011 Nov 11 18:27:41 +0000 |
Yes, like Uttam says, this is where our ancestors came from. There were no trains or highways in those days, and a journey from Mangalore to Honnavar (3 - 4 hours today) used to take upto 2 days with many river crossings on ramshackle ferry boats. Not much of education or job opportunities too, though the land was rich; so they migrated to the big cities - Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Dharwad. Thanks Apu, Sachin and Lalaam for the journey into the lands of my ancestors.
