once again!! if you are wondering what the photo "Ceramic tea poster" is saying, then let me translate it in Hindi for all..it is saying "drink hot tea, that will bring prosperity, health......prevents...an d seasonal diseases and gives maximum relief in summers" in regards to tea.

Hi, it is me again! Came back to take in the pictures once more. What a treasure house of history this is - truly a raj within the raj! This truly deserves to be featured in webshots. Hello Joe, if you are reading this, do us all a favour by featuring this album! Khudha hafiz, my friend, Best wishes, Suresh

Salaam Samadji! I dont know how I missed this gem of an album. It evokes very strong nostalgic memories. I was part of the transition era of many of the artifacts shown here. I still remember the panka and the pankawallah, the basti, the ceramic switches, the lamps with weight etc. I could go on and on. This is truly a memorable and marvellous collection representing an era when travel by train was still filled with splendour and romanticism. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep well, my friend and please stay in touch. Best wishes, Suresh

Hi, Samad, I've forget to tell you that the little "Tren del Centenary" you have seen in my album is a little reproduction made in 1948 of the first train inaugurate in Spain in 1848 between Barcelona and Mataró (20 km.) Un fuerte abrazo de tu amiga Joana.

Hola, Samad! What a beautiful album! My father was a stationmaster in a very nice country village, so that I like trains very much. The beautiful architecture buildings you've seen in my albums must be seen only in Barcelona, but not in other spanish cities. The main architect we had at the beginning of tne XX century was Antoni Gaudí, who made "La Pedrera", la "Casa Milà" and the "Parc Güell" that you can see in my albums. But his masterpiece is the "Temple of the Holly Family", that I have not yet photographed and which is not yet finished because of the money... Kind regards from Joana.

Hi Smamd! What an interesting album! Well done my friend! Donna

Dear Samad Sahab Wonderful photos. You got real clear shots of my favourite 'the tea-recipe' tablets. I guess, a visit to Golra will be a must now on my next visit to Pakistan. I also liked the photos of electrical equipment like old voltmeters, dc fans, 2-blade fans, tube transistor etc. A priceless collection and hats-off to you if you were in any way involved in preservation of this PR heritage. Regards Owais Mughal
