The Healing Touch
Kalpana Verma : Mumbai, Sun Jun 23 2013,
James Nelson, 54, had lost all hope. Employed with the mechanical
department of the South Western Railway, Nelson had had multiple hip
replacement surgeries in the past. Now, the joint was infected and the
implants were coming loose. To make matters worse, he was suffering from
diabetes, hypertension and renal problems. When doctors in Bangalore
gave up, he came to Mumbai. That last straw gave Nelson a new lease of
life.

What’s so great about train travel in Europe?
Would you believe everything?
Train travel in Europe is nothing like it is in the U.S. In Europe, trains
aren’t considered a secondary form of transportation; it’s how most Europeans
travel. So they’re modern, dependable and in some cases state-of-the-art. At
the heart of European rail is an extensive network of high speed trains, with
travel times that can occasionally rival the airlines. But unlike flying,
there’s no hours-long security check, no baggage limitation, no hidden fees,
and dare we say no stress?
