    Hi!
    I just watched your documentary on the Darjeeling Himalaya Railways in London quite far away from my home in India and was absolutely touched by how poignantly you have protrayed the story. You romanced the railway and it was beautiful to watch… thank you for the visual experience and lots of luck in your future endeavours.

    Hi Mr.Bhartiya,
    I watched your BBC documentary on the darjeeling railways at my home in warrington (UK) and was very impressed with the work. What was more heartening was the story and struggle of that single mother Sita for her 5 sons. It was really moving to see the hard work and sacrifice she has made to get a decent life to her children. I really admire her determination to get her sons a good education and how she managed to convince the college principal to waive off her eldest son’s college fees. I would like to offer a helping hand (financially) to that lady so that her children can achieve their goals. So, i will be very pleased if you can let me know how best i can do that. Please contact me through my e-mail or direct me in the appropriate direction if you think it is worthwhile.
    regards

    Dear Mr. Bhartiya,

    I’ve just watched your documentary on the Darjeeling Himalyan railways, and thought it was very insightful & moving. I was particularly touched by the story of Sita the railway porter; it was inspirational to follow the story of her family life, and the determination to educate her eldest son. I would love to write to the family myself, to express these sentiments personally – if this might be at all possible?

    Thanks ever so,

    Elizabeth Gourd

    Mr.Bhartiya,

    I am humbled to see that i’m not the only one touched by Sita’s story. I am yearning to offer her help with the childrens’ education. Did her son graduate from college?. Are they okay?. I don’t quite know if this is the forum visible to you but I hope it is.

    Best,
    Rohit
