Delhi Metro: Behind the Scenes

The month of January was crowded with awards from one channel or the other. It is good to see when channels do not end things with the award ceremony and instead take the initiative forward to create content with substance. Yesterday night, I got to watch this 30-minute episode on E Sreedharan, MD of DMRC and CNN-IBN Indian of the Year 2007.

Delhi Metro is an economic and engineering masterpiece and productivity gains over the long-term should be immense. I loved using it during a couple of days visit to the capital during December, last year. It was equally satisfying to know about the visionary karmayogi behind it. His energy is infectious. Watch the videos and you wouldn't believe that he is 76.
