Poetry for the soul & wit for mind
We edited this Book “OUR INDIAN RAILWAY” for the Celebration of ‘150 Years of Railways in India’- Roopa Srinivasan, Manish Tiwari and I, Sandeep Silas. It was part of the mammoth plan conceptualized by me and implemented with the assistance of colleagues all over the Indian Railways.
Nice to find an appreciative mention by Dr. Bibek Debroy, Member NITI Ayog, India.
One day, Prof. N. S. Ramaswamy came to my office in Sardar Patel Bhavan and sat with me for over two hours. I remember a statement he made- “You are like a circus juggler, handling so many hats at the same time”! With humility I mumbled, “That is my expertise and training, Sir”! When he went back he wrote me a letter from Bangalore, which I chanced upon today in my memorabilia.
My personal homage to a great man, thinker, reformer, scientist, educationist and engineer! Above all a great human being!

On February 19, 2017, the Maratha Sewa Sangh and Backward Minorities Front (non-political) organized a Public Felicitation Ceremony at AGRA (India) on the occasion of Shivaji Jayanti and conferred the Bharat Gaurav Samman (Pride of India Award) for remarkable and outstanding public service in governance!
First public award in hometown Agra !
These lovely people forever changed my concept of a public felicitation…
Reminded of the Song- Ye public hai, ye sab jaanti hai, ye public hai….. (The people know it all, nothing escapes their eyes!
The Crown et al…
The spirit behind the public service front, Shri Jitendra Yadav ji- a grassroot leader of exceptional energy, admirable conviction, and commitment to public service! People like him spend their lifetime making and changing India!
JAI HIND !

Truth
You too, said the same truth, yet again
The story of the garden found a new grave
Devoted I became, once I heard your voice
As if the dark of the night had found a new light
Now, silences shall envelope me once again
Heart shall search once more for twigs to make a nest
‘Deep’, my soul shall be drowned in this pure moment
Who has been able to stop himself before the elixir of life?
Sach by Sandeep Silas ‘deep’ in Ranai-e-Khayal (2012)

Mystery
My heart desires to speak out all hidden secrets
The boundaries of her modesty hold me but
Her delicate charms kept on weaving torments upon me
Heart flew like a bird one moment, captive of her eyes the other
Fill your eyes with her, before she goes away ‘deep’
Once more life shall ebb away, before it is the dawn
Raaz by Sandeep Silas ‘deep’ in Ranai-e-Khayal (2012)
