Diet Secret: No eggs, no milk. Likes fried peanuts though.

Unusual Possession: Is fond of watches—he is a stickler for time—owns two dozen. Particularly likes a Swiss watch, Candino, as it loses only three seconds in a year.

Is Embarrassed About: Sleeping too much, or so he thinks— seven hours at night and 15 minutes in the day.

Strange, But True: Is computer ignorant. Never uses one. Takes a long time to type his own name.
 
TRAIN REIGN
 

Because the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is now the role model for other modernising cities. Because not only is DMRC self-sustaining, only one among five such metros in the world, it is also carbon conscious, having prevented 3,968 tonne of poisonous gases from being emitted annually.

Because with the IGI airport link ready by 2010, commuters will be able to reach the airport from the New Delhi railway station in just 18 minutes. Because by 2021, over 413 km of Metro track would have been laid out in the NCR which will overtake the London metro, the longest till date at 408 km.
