IMPOSSIBLE TATKAL
Tatkal booking through IRCTC has become an impossible task after the recent reform. It has made an already tough task 2 absolutely impossible. Tried booking a tkt n was kept waiting 4 half hour. A friend paid but tkt nvr came. Server delay msg repeated on loop.

This is a recurring complaint among Lakhs of people trying to book thru IRCTC. The reform was to weed out the agents influence, but it has made things much much more difficult. The problem is much worse along routes with few trains.

My inputs on cartoonists and freedom in this piece in Outlook.
Cartoons of dissent or Cartoons of truth?
P.s: There is a right answer

Numbed by another cowardly, horrific Jihadist attack. This time in Sydney. Inhuman, savage, absolutely wrong on all counts.

Was at this talk designed to drill into everyone's head that the Tunnel Road was best for Bengaluru. At the end of the talk, had to complement the speaker: You Bore Well.

Aurangzeb was turning in his grave for months. After The Taj Story, he turns to Shah Jahan and says, "Now it's your turn."

@SingaporeAir we were travelling to Seoul from Mumbai through Singapore. The Mumbai -Singapore flight SQ423 was delayed. After reaching Singapore ground staff promptly escorted us to board our connecting flight SQ600. However, our luggage wasn’t transferred to the connecting flight. We got to know about this only after reaching Seoul. We got a mail saying luggage is being sent on SQ606 which will reach only by 10 pm local time. Having landed in Seoul, we are forced to wait for six hours to collect our luggage as we have no other option. This is appalling and we are still waiting at the Seoul airport waiting for the luggage. We don’t know what the outcome will be. If the ground staff were not sure about transferring the luggage, why were we asked to board the connecting flight. @massillamoney
