Manifestos..

This is simply awesome, with TN's assembly elections coming up, our politicians never cease to bring out suprises. First it was Vaiko's stunt by shuttling between DMK and ADMK's alliances and then settling down at Poes Garden.. Next day MSM and Blogworld screamed "Y Go?".. not to mention, Cartoonists and joke writers across TN had a gala time over this.

But this one takes the cake, DMK announced their manifesto yday offering color TVs for every household. The reason quoted was 'for women's recreation and General knowledge'.. Oh yeah, SUN TV is nothing short of NGC..

Since DMK's manifesto is so enticing, What would be ADMK's.. contemplating over, to beat DMK's appeasement on 'Ladies sentiment'(sic), I wudnt be surprised if Amma announces a 'color computer'(yeah, color only) to every student or a '1 sovereign gold coin' to every unmarried woman again to appease the 'Ladies sentiment'(sic).. after all Men r considered to come with 'No tags attached'.. no sentiments whatsoever. :P

But what will our patriot, revolutionary captain come up with... discman with CDs of all captain films or video IPOD loaded with the same, better !

so whom do u vote for ?!

Sports Day

Truly a sports day yday ..3 matches, 1 amazing race.. I cud see jus one of them on DD.. jus coz Tamil Nadu doesnt have Star Sports and ESPN.. Arent there any sports enthusiasts there?? so much for SCV's monopoly.. Darn !!

Windies lost by 27 runs chasing 300 albeit they were 148 for no loss at 1 stage..
Imagine 49 sixes , 872 runs in 99.5 overs..OZ scoring 434 and proteas actually chasing it.. damn ! I jus cud not watch the runs galore..
in fact Telemachus bowled 1 maiden in this match, he definetely deserves the man of the match :P

1-2 pole for the prancing horses. New qualifying format, old tyre rules, lots of overtakings, Rosberg getting points for his amazing debut, 4 cars for redbull - two on Ferrari, other 2 on Cosworth..talk abt range ! I jus cud not watch Schumi back on podium after the 2005 debacle...Damn..Damn.. Damn !!

All jus coz I was at Cbe for the weekend :'((

I think I am cracking up.. neone got a glue ?!

E-ticketing

I successfully booked a train-ticket from Blore to Cbe (kurla exp 1013) thru the recently introduced e-ticket.
where the ticket is jus a PRINTOUT OF THE APPLICATION FORM
Now the facility is in all major trains..

the procedure is simple
1. login to irctc.co.in (if u dont have an a/c.. create one)
2. Fill up the details as u do in reservation counter (select e-ticket and not i-ticket)
3. U need to provide a foto-id as proof while travelling so give the details of the SAME in the application
can be ur licence, PAN,voter id etc
4. For payment u have a lot of options like VISA/MASTER/DINERS CLUB credit card or payment thru major banks (ICICI, HSBC etc)
5. Once u have done the payment successfully , it gives the details of the berth(coach and seat no.) n also the PNR no. of the ticket
6. Jus take the print out of the form along with foto-id n travel in train
7. The whole service costs 25 bucks + ticket charges.
8. Can be done only if the berths are available
9. Cancellation of e-ticket is done by the same means (n not at any reservation counter)

I tried thru credit card payment but it failed initially.. then I tried thru Bank payment..
Once u click the 'make a payment' tab..it goes to ur e-banking facility (ICICIBANK.COM, in my case)
..where it makes ur payment after u enter ur transaction password.

Found it safe n effortless.. u dont have to find time to goto the reservation counter ..all jus for 25 bucks (for a ticket n not per head)
Happy e-ticket travel !
