Following my two passions - Travel and Writing

This incidence happenned to me and my friend in 2012. I used to go to Paradeep in Odisha for official purposes once in a month. This one time me and my colleague(who is a good friend) were travelling in Bhubneshwar Rajdhani from Cuttack to New Delhi. We had one more colleague with us which we didnt know was travelling and was sitting 10 seats next to us. After nearly 2 hours from cuttack he came to us and started asking about Tatkal ticket rules. We told him all the things we knew but he was not satisfied. After asking so many questions, he told us that he is not carrying the ID he used to book tatkal tickets . (it was the then tatkal train booking rule that you have to show the original ID which you have used to book the ticket ). We asked him to sit with us so that we all can talk to TT if something happens. TT came to our seat after 3 4 hours when we 3 were watching a movie on laptop. We showed him our tickets but he caught that guy. He : Sir i have forgotten the same...

Hi, There was a question for me to cost compare Petrol and CNG Cars. I am doing the same to help you save money by buying the best car available. There are only 7 cars ( as per Carwale.com)  in Indian Market which comes in factory fitted CNG kit. You can install a kit in any car though but in this blog post i will discuss only those cars which comes with factory fitted CNG kit. Factory fitted CNG kits means that they have been installed in the car during the car assembly stage not after the car is rolled out. This has more benefits as this has dual fuel gauge in dashboard and directly shows the status of both the fuels and you dont have to install any other meter. So, let us take example the classic CNG - Maruti Suzuki Celerio. CNG variant comes in VXi and VXi(O). we will compare Vxi model as this is the most common model purchased. Maruti Suzuki Celerio Car Model Mileage (KM/L) Model Cost Registration Charges Insurance Charg...

“The boarding for Indigo Airlines Flight No. 6E-098 has started. Please board the same from Gate Numbers 6 & 7”   - Planning my holiday schedule and murmuring (Good Riddance J I will now have 10 days at leisure), I stood in the queue for my flight from Pune to New Delhi. I could not believe that I had spent four months away from my home. I came to Pune for my first job in TCS and started staying in Magarpatta City. The place was something like a dream place for a person who has never left Punjab in his life of 21 years. I befriended new people from different areas of India and started feeling upright in the new city gradually. It felt great at the starting of the job as it was a total new experience for me. Big buildings, planned areas, maintained parks & lawns, planned market place and many other things which I had never experienced before and they gave me a thrill every time I visited them. But the only thing I missed were the kind of people we had back t...
