hi,

Sudhanwa, Frankly, it is because these professionals do not bandy
their professions/work around unnecessarily when not needed and not

Thanks Kartik, for the translation. I see you had some trouble getting
pics of the station. This is strange since people take pics of CST,
Mumbai without any restriction - even inside it. Strange, that!
