shared by Uma Shankari on 24 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • Nicknamed the “Toy Train”, the train is powered by a steam engine and runs on a track made narrow to help the train go through safely the sharp turns of the hills.
  • The train runs on a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge railway, going from an elevation of 100 m (328 ft) at Siliguri to about 2,200 m (7,218 ft) at Darjeeling. As the line had to overcome an ascent of 7,000 ft. in less than fifty miles, it has a series of zig zags and loops to gain height.

    "The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is a line so close to the people that it flows like a river through their lives. The line runs on roads that pass through markets and village main streets! "

  • Brown rice has antioxidants and phytonutrients that boosts the immune system, lowers cholesterol, reduces risk of heart disease, stroke and colon cancer, and reduces severity of asthma. Brown rice can substantially reduce the risk of colon cancer, as it is a a very good source of selenium, a trace mineral that induces DNA repair and synthesis in damaged cells and inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells.
  • In addition to the niacin it supplies, brown rice may also help raise blood levels of nitric oxide, a small molecule known to improve blood vessel dilation and prevent development of atherosclerotic plaques.
