A sociologist and an associate professor at the University of Sydney, Salvatore Babones, has been mighty impressed by the food served on a Rajdhani Express train. In fact, the professor went on to tag Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw in a tweet and urged him to offer the position of railways' international brand ambassador to the chef Narendra Kumar.

Babones posted a picture of his dinner from the Rajdhani Express on Twitter, which consisted of rice, dal, roti, vegetable curry and curd. He also shared a picture of himself with the train staff.

In another picture, Babones showed empty food packets after finishing the meal. Moreover, he also got a "free ice cream" at the end of his meal,

"This is 2nd Class food on India's national railways? It tastes First Class to me! I'm very impressed, Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw. You should make Mr. Narendra Kumar your international brand ambassador. Five stars for the kitchen in the Rajdhani Express. -- UPDATE: free ice cream!," read the caption of the post shared by the professor.

"Have always cherished the food while traveling in train. Whatever quality it was. I always enjoyed the shaking and eating thing, when the train was in movement," wrote a third.
