    Even after writing what must be hundreds of thousands of words, my fear of the blank page still remains! This fear loomed again a few months ago when I was invited by a client to give a presentation to a group of careers professionals as part of a seminar series sharing ideas about how to enhance their work on personal development with graduates. After getting through my ‘writers block’, I took this opportunity to develop an idea I had been mulling over for a while – though certainly not one I claim as my own – the idea that we can view personal development as a way of changing the stories we tell about ourselves. Here is a summary of the thinking behind the presentation.…

It has a combination of elevated, at-grade and underground lines and uses both broad gauge and standard gauge rolling stock.

The metro has an average daily ridership of over a million commuters,[3] and has carried over a billion commuters in seven years since its inception. The concept of a mass rapid transit for Delhi first emerged from a traffic and travel characteristics study carried out in the city in 1969.[8] Over the next several years, many official committees by a variety of government departments were commissioned to examine issues related to technology, route alignment and governmental jurisdiction.[9] In 1984, the Delhi Development Authority and the Urban Arts Commission came up with a proposal for developing a multi-modal transport system, which would consist of constructing three underground mass rapid transit corridors as well augmenting the city's existing suburban railway and road transport networks.[10]…

    Accidents and chaos are everywhere and Mumbai with its population of over 20.5 million is no exception to this. The once efficient suburban rail network is the lifeline of Mumbai, however over the past two decades; it is creaking under the weight of passenger influx and lack of investment in upgrading infrastructure. The extraordinary crowding of trains and poor commuter facilities at stations makes the Mumbai train system so prone to accidents that nearly 10 people die in railway mishaps every day - a figure that would have made front page news anywhere else in the world but meets with apathy in India.…
