Few days back I had to travel to Hyderabad to meet some of my friends, prior to a week before that I tried to book my train tickets online, there was only one available train whose timing was convenient to me, but when I checked for seats availability, the website showd me status "REGRET WAITING/1,2". I clicked on the book ticket button, it threw me an error "Regret waiting/1,2, ticket cannot be booked". I thought may there are only two tickets available so its not letting me to book them online, so decided to book the tickets from railway station itself.
Rail reservation counters in India are quire famous for thick crowd, the reservation room had five counters to book tickets, but wait!! not all were open, only two were issuing tickets. No clue about the rest three. So the queue at those two counters was too huge. I went n stood in the queue which looked shorter among the two. The time for issuing a ticket/person was almost 10 minutes, n tats damn slow. I went to the station in the morning around 9 A.M to avoid any long queue's, but later realised it was a bad guess. It took almost two hours for my turn, and Just when the guy infront of me wast about to clear the counter, one lady came in between n submitted her reservation form at the counter, I said wait Ma'm u need to come in the queue, for that she replied for women there is no need to be in the queue and showed me a notice board besides. It was a small notice board, when I gazed at it carefully it read "This queue is meant for general purpose, but for senior citizens and womens there is no need to stand in the queue".
Meanwhile some of the guys who had lined up behind me in the queue went insane, raising how can she book the ticket without standing in the queue, some ppl even shouted at me for not stopping her. I said boss there is a board here which says a women can book her ticket without being in the queue. The quarrel between the women and those guys kindled, soon some more women who were back in the queue joined her, the quarrel went on for almost 10 minutes and finally halted with a compromise, that all women will form a new queue and the tickets will be booked alternatively by men and women. So It took almost half-hour more for my turn to come. I gave my reservation form at the counter and was waiting to receive my ticket, n guess what??????...the lady issuing tickets said "The train is fully booked on the date requested by you, we cant book a ticket even with 'Waiting' status". Wow!! wat a grt reward for standing in this queue for almost 2 n half hour. I asked her to check for alternatives, she said "No". I pressed her again to check, she checked again n said "I can book tatkal ticket, for which you will have to pay an extra 150 Rs as tatkal fee but the ticket will be in waiting status ", which means till the date of journey if tickets staus gets cleared only then i can travel, otherwise I can cancel the ticket where 25% of the total amount will be fined. I didnt have much time to decide so told her to book tatkal ticket.
Almost 5 days had left for my travel, every day, in the morning, noon, evening i used to check my tickets status in the rail website. Even the day before my travel I checked for status, but status was hell, it showed me "Waiting" all the time. If status remained same even the next day then I had to cancel my trip, which I didnt wanted. So I started lookin for alternatives, all other trains for that day were booked, travel by air is toooo costly, by bus its too enervating as it was almost 14 hours journey. But I had to travel, so I decided to go by bus, n got a ticket for some private bus travel.
On the day of my travel after finishing my packing, I went to railway station to cancel my train ticket to get atleast 75% of its money back. Again there was a long queue and again after loooong time my turn came. I surrendered my ticket at the counter and told the lady officer to cancel it, she took the ticket, cheked its status and said "Sir your ticket is confirmed, and we dont cancel it once confirmed". GOSSSSH!!! dont tell me.....man!!! first time after waiting for 2 hrs in this queue i wanted reserved ticket they gave me a waiting one, next time again after waiting for so long, i wanted to cancel the ticket they give me reserved one..but tats fate. Now I have two tickets..I thought for a while and decided to travel by train coz its more comfortable and cancel the bus ticket. I called the bus agency n told them to cancel my ticket, they said they dont cancel the ticket once it is issued, dude!!! wat do u mean..had a heated argument with them..told them my 1000 Rs at stake so give me atleast 50% amount back, they again denied. I went to their office n told the whole story, but no avail. I asked them to give me their boss telephone no, I called their boss n recounted the whole account, finally after a brief talk the boss agreed but said I will be charged 25% of the amout for cancellation, I said no problem coz even after that I will get back 750 Rs, n tats huge amount. All clear..there was big sigh..I collected my money, came back home, took my luggage n AGAIN headed towards the railway station......
but this time to catch my train.. ;-))

Nuke Deal
In India, many r quite confused with the never ending debate ongoing between the ruling and opposition political parties over "123 Nuclear agreement". What exactly is the confusion?? as a true citizen of India, I always want her to see in the league of developed nations, and for that matter, we need to fulfill her basic needs to fuel growth momentum, like infrastructure, and offcourse, electricity is one among them.
India generates almost 70-75 % of its electricity using thermal power, naturally thats due the high coal deposits found under its soil, and more than 25% of electricity from hydro power, and the rest 1 or 2 % is generated using nuclear power and wind power. As we rely so much on coal, what if a day comes when we realise that the new coal deposits are scarcely found, and the existing coal will get exhausted in few years??, now tats a grave question for an economically surging country like India, on the other side there is global warming, as most of the countries are trying to implement the Kyoto Protocol, which restricts their emission levels below certain barrier. Hence, India, which is one of the fastest developing nations of the world, has a huge task to check on its emission levels without hurting its development spree, which is quite difficult if we continue to rely more on coal energy as we do now. The Govt of India might be harping on this from quite a few years. To protect the interests of its entrapanuers, citizens and more importantly the farmers, our Govt is haplessely running behind every opportunity which will subside the major part of its energy hunger.
U.S. nuclear deal or 123 agreement is seen as relief to all these huffings going on where, India will be helped by U.S. in setting up civilian nulcear plants to generate electriciy along with the required uranium fuel supply from the countries who posses it. For the deal to start functioning India must pass the bill in its parliment after the IAEA(International Automatic Enery Agency)'s go ahead which will inspect all the nuclear plants for safeguards and checks for any non civilian use of nuclear enery like nuclear arms etc. To get the bill passed in the parliment the ruling govt is busy convincing all the opposition parties and also the citizens of India claiming it as the cleanest possible energy, and if given a go ahead now will be a boon to the economy, where as the opposition parites are dragging it down with the apprehensions of US imperialisom, its hostile nature, raising fears if U.S. breaks the deal, as India would have invested billions of dollars for setting up the nuclear plants.
The repurcussions of breaking the deal is, the proposed uranium supply to India will be stopped and more threatening is that India will be asked back all the technology and material provided from the day the deal is kicked off. There is a group of 45 countries called NSG(Nuclear Suppliers Group), The deal says all the NSG countries will help in running the nuke plants by supplying the required fuel and material. However these countries have the veto power in this deal, so if any country backs off that means the deal will be stalled, and as India does not share the soft corner with some of these countries, especially China, so it becomes quite daunting to aboard this deal without any brainstorming from experts.
Nuclear energy is ofcourse one of the cleanest possible energies and would curb India's energy hunger marginally, even Mr.Abdul Kalam, the former President of India and also a renowned scientist appreciates the initiatives taken in this regard, however its very imperative that the Indian govt should setup a detailed discourse about how well we can avoid any worst case situations if at all they occur in the future and must consult the scientists, economists and every other concerned fraternity who can help in taking the most appropriate decision on this nuclear deal.

Jaipur Express
The first thing u ll imagine when someone talks about a college is an
encircled group of friends engaged in a jolly conversation.
Ours was also a huge group..I can't even count how many were there..
During the last semester of our Grad, five of us
(Rahul,Bihari,Mish,Patil and myself)
planned to go on a tour,plan of going around the country.
I was from Bidar,which is in south india,Rahul was from jodhpur,which
comes in west and mukesh was from dhanbad which comes in the east
part of india.The plan went like this,We decided to go to everyone's
hometown n stay their for a week or so n tour across that part of the
country.Its a hard truth of my group that plannin was the only thing
which we were better at..n after that one more plan..
never we used to work on it.. :-))))
But this one,god knows how,worked immaculately.
The trip started at Mysore,we planned to stay for 5 days at everyones
home.The First destination was Bidar,we roamed around the city for
3 days.Temple,gurudvara,garden,Bidar fort,went across all these places.
On the 4th day morning we left for Hyderabad,the land of sultans's,
a spectacular city having lots of mughal forts.We spent 2 days over
there, went around Mughal Forts,Charminar,Raj Darbars,Film City,Malls,
Biryani Corners(Bawarchi - The best biryani house of hydrabad) n
many other places.
After 2 days in Hydrabad,we boarded Jaipur express.It was a long
journey longed for almost 30 hours.Not even a single chick(babe) we
could find in tat train,but still we swamped the whole journey by
playing cards,jokes,anthaksharis n what not.Reached Jaipur on an
early morning of some beautiful day.
Jaipur,the pink city of India,as soon as we reached, we searched n
found a place to stay,arranged a cab to roam around the city n got
ourselves comfortable for a day's long trip.As the day should start
with a breakfast,so went to have breakfast,some of us were from south
india,who usully prefer idili in their breakfast,but wat an ironic in
terms of price,a single idli which costs arnd 2 rupees in south india,
cost 25 rupees in jaipur,but there was no other go so just gobbled
watever we got n left the place.
The First pit stop was birla temple,we prayed god n begged him for good
marks,a good girl,n offcourse a hefty salaried job(but got ok marks,
no girl,and job..huh..we r actually working for peanuts).
Anyways the next stop was Hawa Mahal,a great palace constructed by a
great arch.The palace was constructed with an intention of keeping it
breezy all 24/7 times,n as said, it was amazingly breezy all the time,
an unbelievable experience for us.
The temperature in Jaipur was also unbelievable,it was aournd 45 C,
and my great friend Rahul took us to a restaurant for lunch n ordered
some dilicious food,the dishes were totally mouth watering,but as the
temperature was also body watering so it was really tough 4 us to eat
anything hot n oily at that time.But i dont know why,we all stuffed that
food without bothering wats gonna happen to our stomach
(And obviously,the next day everybody preferred to stay in a room
which was attached with the restroom. :-)) ).
After that heavy lunch,for a moment we felt as to cancel the whole days
trip n go back to the lodge n sleep as much as we can,but the city was
so amazing tat nothing prevented us from heading further.The next spot
was Jantar Mantar(Magic Magic) as the name says,its a place filled up
with many half build constructions(walls,stairs,pits etc etc) each one
had its own scientific significance.Around 400 years back, ppl used to
guess amass of things using these constructions.Like guessing the exact
time,guessing the next full moon day,lookin at different constellation
figures in different angles n many more things.a place where everyone
wishes to stay as long as possible, since he keeps discovering new
things as he moves around.
Jaipur has a movie theatre,its the third most beautiful theatre in Asia,
a palace unleashed into a movie theatre.We decided to watch a movie
there n left for tat place,we got the tickets as well,it was almost an
hr for the movie to start,till tat time we thought of exploring the
palace..oops!!! i mean theatre..Man!!! wat a theatre it is,as we started
moving around it, an immense aristocratic feeling started running through
our veins,the carpets,jhumbers,lights,wall paintings everything was an
exemplary of perfect royalism.One hour flew like seconds there,And
finally it was time to enter the screen hall,we had to give the tickets
before entering the screen hall,so all my friends started staring at me,
I asked wats wrong?.they said get the tickets out.I searched for tickets,
"Oh!! damm!!! i dont have the tickets,where the hell did i lose them?".
I felt as if i gave them to someone,so all started searching their
pockets,n finally....guess what?.....................we lost the tickets.
Clouds of agitation slowly started covering us,all other tickets were also
sold out.Again we went around the palace,but this time it was in search of
tickets.Stairs,canteen,restroom we searched them everywhere but
"Honi ko kaun tal sakta hai"(u cant change the fait accompli..right?).
We wanted to watch the movie at any cost,Mukesh,one among us, who
suits best when it comes for negotiating,we lead him with us to talk to
the manager,we tried to convince the manager in so many ways tat we
were the one who bought those tickets,manager was totally reluctant to
us.But finally with the help of our great negotiator,we ended up in an
agreement that, if any other person comes with the tickets of same serial
no,we will make our way out.Thats all.........Wat a sigh after that,we saw
the movie as if it was the first time we were in a movie theatre..
whistling,shouting all sensible things we did there..
That theatre really ROCKSSSSSSS..
Later after the movie,none felt like having food as we had stuffed
properly in the noon.We had to catch a train in the night for Jodhpur,
hometown of Rahul.The cab driver dropped us to the railway station.
We were carrying a total of 13 bags with us,everyone was responsible for
his own belongings.we reached the platform where the train bound to
Jodhpur was supposed to come.the train was late by 2 hours,everyone
was tired n was waiting for the train..waiting..waiting..waiting..
And then we heard the citation "ur attention please,Jodhpur express is
expected to arrive on platform no 2,in a short time",meanwhile there
was one more citation saying "a Rajdhani Express bound to Jaipur is
expected to arrive on platform no 1 in short time".
I was too excited to see the Rajdhani Express as it was one of the fastest
train running in India.I was not at all bothered about my train.
All my friends were making fun of me, saying "Dont behave like a kid,
get ready,our train is coming".But who cares.
Within short time we heard the train's siren from both sides,as they
were coming from opposite directions and in sometime both arrived to
their respective platforms.Everyone was busy in lifting their bags n
searching for our coach n i was busy in taking the glance of Rajdhani.
My friends dragged me to our coach n even there i didnt go to my seat,
i was standing near the door n was lookin at the Rajdhani.I was staring
at it as if never in my lifetime i am gonna see it.Finally our train departed
n the Rajdhani was still there,I was looking at it till i could see its last
glance,atlast the Rajdhani disappeared.I was so happy for watchin the
fastest train in India.Man wat a feelin after tat i really cant express
them in words.And then i went to my seat/berth.All my friends were making
fun of me by asking "Now happy..Done with Rajdhani",they started
passing all sarcastic comments on me,but i didnt bother to any of them
at all..I was lil tired n wanted to get fresh,I started searchin my
bag for towel.searching.....searching....searching.....
And Guess what..........................................................
I forgot my bag in the platform..I shouted
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"..screamed..
gave punch to one of the seats....uttered "Damm..shit.."
shock my head..aaahhhhhhhhhh........
I had bought a dress..a saree for mom..a dress for sis..apart from this
all my tshirts(fav dress of mine)..n more over my friend(Vinay)'s camera..
his saree i mean the one which he had got for his mom..so many things..
all these were there in that bag..I was so sad at that time,was completely
brooding over what had happened..all my friends tried soothing me..
i didnt sleep for the entire 6 hrs journey..it was one of the
saddest 6 hrs journey(train) of my life..
Next day morning as soon as we reached Jodhpur i went out for shoppin
since i had nothin to wear apart from the night dress which i had
wore for the journey.First day in jodhpur none wanted to go out..not
because i had lost so many things..but because we all had stuffed so
much the previous day that everyone thought its a good idea to stay
in a bedroom which was attached to the restroom.. :-))
We stayed in Jodhpur for 3 days..n then continued our journey to
Bihar then Calcutta n Darjiling..
The entire 25 days trip was one of the most memorable trips of my life..
not because i lost my bag..but because we went across all part of the
country..met our friends parents..they loved us like their own kids..
met all different ppl..ate all different types of food..
and did helluva fun throught the journey..
Those memories will linger in my life forever n ever n ever..
