The Boy Who Loved Trains - Deepak Sapra

Non-Fiction

Read it


I haven't read anything by Deepak Sapra, if he has written anything else, either. I thought this was a story and I liked the cover. It turned out to be something quite different.

This autobiographical book is about the author's career with Indian railways, from his training to much later in life. It's a good window into the life of those who work in the railways. I found out that the railways are just as bureaucratic as many other civil services.  I don't know anyone who works in the railways, nor have a read much, so this was fun to go through.

Sapra's conversational tone help the reader get into his anecdotes and keep reading. While it does drag a bit in certain places, I enjoyed this book. I am a firm fan of riding in trains, this helped me understand those who make that possible.


Read it!
