The train was arriving at Hazarat Nizamuddin on 8.30 A.M.. I bought two books at the Nizamuddin Railway Platform Book Shop. I bought one Tinkle Digest No. 94 and a book of Ruskin Bond. When the train arrived at the station, we got upon the Boggie No. S8. We comfort ourselves on our seats and I taken window side seat. When the train was running, I saw the beautiful scenery that could be seen from window of the passing train from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh and then via Madhya Pradesh, Jhanshi to Pune.

I was very scared when I walked on the walls of Kolaba fort. On one side there was sea and other side there is a rocky land. So, think how much fearless and clever was our Great Chhatrapati Shivaji.
