RAC 90/RAC 63 ------------------.....................-RAC 91/RAC69 (And so onnn) Then the W/L 1 Will Resume..... As W/L 1-----W/L 1 ================================================== Same Quota But Date is Different ---------26/06/2012. The Rac will as follows RAC 89/ RAC 52 ----------------------------RAC 90/ RAC 53 (And so onnn) ... Read more...
Then W/L 1-----W/L 1 Will Resume. So, Owing to the Above Explanation, The RAC's Wont be Constant Daily. It will Different. I Guess??
Was just seeing Satyameva Jayate. The topic was pesticides and cancer. Topic aside, one very interesting thing that was told was about 54703 Jodhpur Passenger (which I presume is the erstwhile Train No. 339). The no. of cancer patients travelling by this train to Bikaner is so high that the train is nicknamed as the "Cancer Express" (Bikaner hosts the Acharya Tulsi Regional Cancer Treatment Center). Hindustan Times has covered exhaustively on this train in this article: bit.ly/O8VYkn
After Ages, Chotey!! :D Yaa i saw the show!! really some words are true "Human Life In India is CHEAP" one of the headlines in today's DC's edition about a woman who lost her kids n didn't yet get justice. :(

TRIP REPORT here is my trip report of my journey in 10111 Konkan Kanya Express.i was waiting for this trip for so long,and now finally after 8 months i was going to my native place in konkan.i started late from home and reached mulund station at 9.50pm.now it was not possible to board my train at CST bcoz i would miss it and so decided to catch it at dadar.there was less rush at the mulund ticket counter and i quickly got the local train tickets.the indicator showed "10:01 DR Pf 2 ",it was a dadar local.so i quickly went to pf 2 and boarded the local.the local was empty and at about 10.40pm we reached dadar.got down from the local and went straight to Pf 5 where the konkan kanya was going to come.there was a lot of rush at...

Who will win the race PRS or IRCTC **************************** Mission was to book a return ticket from PGT to MAS. Unlike last week where i had to take a bus... Just reaching home at 5AM this morning went into a short hibernation.. The Alarm promptly rang at 7.10 AM and it was set in order to venture the PRS booking.. Thats when the idea struck.. I asked my brother to carry his laptop along with me to the PRS at PGTN.. Well there was a serpentine queue which had formed already for both the counters. So i occupied one of the queues and my brother was with the laptop.. Sharp at 8 AM the PRS started functioning however our site got into hibernation now.. "service unavailable" was frequenting...the queue was moving simultaneously..... Read more...
I saw that the movement of the other queue was pretty slower than ours and thanked lady luck... By then my bro was frustrated with IRCTC. i had taught him TVC-GHY was filling up fast, followed by 16042. The PGT quota in 16042 is 16 in SL and 6 in 3A which got emptied in no time.. so i asked him to check the position from TCR for this train which had higher quota.. 12602 was fast filling.. 12624 tickets were filling faster than the MPS of this train... IRCTC was still constipated and was taking every step so very slowly.. by now i had traversed halfway through from where i was... 3rd from the counter now and my bro shouted.. all train filled up except for 12686 13 in SL , 4 in 3A , 7 in 2A was the status then.. i got to the counter and the lady said all SL/3A CK are running in WL and my bro hinted that 12686 had 3 more in 2A.. so i requested the clerk in 12686 2A and she hurriedly typed the details and told me 1 ticket available and i grabbed on to it. She hurriedly typed my details and the ticket was booked at 8.52 AM.. IRCTC Was still reluctant to go beyond the PLAN MY TRAVEL Screen. Thanking god and my luck was walking out of PGTN having a quick look at the ticket detail.. Ha ha the lady made a mistake while typing my ID details.. she typed E instead of F.. so i went back to the counter and told her the ID No mentioned was wrong and instead of F you have typed E.. she said dont worry thats fine tell the TTE that its just a tail that has grown to the F.. under pressure i appreciated her sense of humour and i headed back home with the happiness of procuring the last available confirmed ticket... PRS wins yet again...
