Last Saturday, Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav was in Singapore and delivered an interesting lecture on "Turnaround of Indian Railways". As expected, the hall was full. It was my first opportunity to listen him and I went there just because of curiosity about Lalu and Railways.
Mr. Sudheer Kumar, IAS officer, gave excellent presentation on the actual reasons of turnarounds. I was impressed by the dynamic ticket pricing policy and turnaround time of the goods carrier. Seemingly simple ideas had excellent results in terms of the profitability.
Coming back to Lalu, He was self as usual. He spoke in hindi (and there was some arrangement for people who don't understand hindi). He shared couple of funny incidents and talked in various topics rather than concentrating on the Railways. The question-answer session after the lecture was equally fascinating with people asking very funny to very intelligent stuff. Overall, it was an exciting event.
