It was a usual
mid summer hot afternoon in Pune on April 4th . We had planned to take
some of our students to Joshi Railway museum and wondered whether we
had done the right thing in asking the students
to come all the way from far away places like Pirangut and Bhugaon Road.
When about
40 students arrived with their teachers,looking at the positive energy the group showed we
realized that we had done the
right thing. The students were energetic and eager to see what lay ahead.
Joshi Museum was
built by Mr. Balkrishna Joshi and exhibits finest of craftsmanship and minute
details with which it has been built. It is also maintained to perfection even after so many
years of inception. It has on display miniature
models of moving trains , monorails
and bullet trains and railway stations. The exact replica created
of a small European town proves once
again that God is in details. With
exciting commentary filled with subtle humor, the 30 minute show has never a dull moment and had all the
students curious and engrossed. Besides having the students excited , the child
in every teacher surfaced and one could sense that from the smiles one could
see across the faces of children as well as grown ups.
We spent some
efforts in organizing this visit but what we received in return was the smiles
on the faces of the children which were
priceless!!
