Why this craving for India Bashing?
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 02, 2015
The third unfortunate craving for the Media is the availability of some sensational news every day to be published.

Another unfortunate craving of the Media and the Press

Suggestions for expediting justice without the stigma of justice hurried is justice buried 5!
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2015
The harmful effects of delay in delivery of justice need not be highlighted.

There is a period specified for appealing against a judgment to the higher courts. If an appeal to the higher court is not filed within the stipulated time, there is a provision for condonment of this delay in appealing in certain deserving cases. First of all this provision implies that the justice delivery system is not particular about and has scant regard for the time taken for the delivery of justice.

This perception is already deep in the justice delivery system in India, our country, as can be seen in the statement "justice hurried is justice buried".

The Indian Railways time-table is designed to delay trains! Strange, but very true.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2014
The late running of trains is a serious issue. With 13 million passengers travelling daily, a delay of just 10 minutes means a daily loss of over two million man-hours. Can Indian Railways repair the damage it is doing to its customers – the travelers? Can it give back the 250 man-years lost on a daily basis back to the people of this Nation?

Our railway trains are usually late, but the delays are mostly avoidable
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2014
We all experience the unpredictability in the arrival times of railways trains. The only predictability is that they will be late, though we can never predict how late they will be. Often, the train is almost on schedule till about 5 kms from the destination, and then it gets delayed by at least 30 minutes.

There is now so much talk going on about a new India that I have started dreaming that utopia is round the corner. Last night I had a dream. I dreamt that the Chairman of the Railway Board rang me up and asked me to write an advertisement inviting applications for the post of General Manager (Passenger Comforts) of Indian Railways. I even drafted the advertisement in my dream.

How Does The Tout Know More About My Train Ticket Than I Do?
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2014
I wanted to buy a general (not Tatkal) train ticket recently, and I was told that no confirmed tickets were available. There were several trains but only wait-listed tickets were available, different wait-list numbers in various classes in different trains.

Is tatkal quota – as a % of the total available births-a closely held secret?
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2014
Why the traveling public should be kept in the dark about this information which is the only vital data they need to take decisions while booking general or tatkal? This information also will be very helpful for the public when they have a ticket in waiting list in general category and they have to take a decision whether to book tatkal and cancel general ticket, or wait and take a chance for the wait listed general ticket to get confirmed.

Why no concession for ladies and senior citizens for tatkal tickets?
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2014
It is strange that the concessions for ladies and senior citizens are not applicable for tatkal tickets. First of all tatkal tickets cost more for any one, junior or senior, male or female. This is indeed justified, or at least digestible, as the decision on the part of the commuter to travel takes place in the last minute by the traveler and the Indian Railways condescends to give a seat or birth.

Why physical presence of one traveler is mandatory for window booking of tatkal tickets and not required for booking tatkal on-line or through agents?
SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 2014
There is a requirement that one of the tatkal ticket travelers should be physically present at the window at the time of booking a tatkal ticket. Strangely this requirement is waived for booking tatkal tickets on line or while booking through agents.

Should we have separate booking time for tatkal at all?
MONDAY, AUGUST 04, 2014
One more feature the traveling public of Indian Railways do not understand is why there is a separate slot of time for tatkal booking. It can start with, go on with and end with the general booking, on a first come first served basis on line or at the counter.

Why not flash availability under general scheme to the traveler when he/she wants tatkal ticket?
THURSDAY, JULY 25, 2014
When one is booking tatkal on line or at the counter, why we cannot flash an information in the general scheme in the class requested and in all other classes as well? If you see how much this information helps the traveler and what is involved in making it happen,

Tatkal: A sly fare increment mechanism for Indian Railways?
FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014
I have always wondered how the total number of berths made available under tatkal scheme of booking is decided in any specific train. Can Indian Railways share this information with the traveling public? Is it a % of the total number of berths available in that class? Does this % vary from train to train? Else does it vary from season to season? Or both? Has it increased gradually from year to year thus making the increase in tatkal berths in lieu of a fare increase?

Indian Railways 2- Online booking of tickets
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2014
It is good that the Indian Railways relaxed the time for online reservation of tickets up to 11 p.m. every day instead of the original 8 p.m. it started with. I have wondered all along why at all there is time restriction on on-line booking. I have not heard of any on- line ticket reservation system other than 24/ 7.

Indian Railways- definition of a superfast train
MONDAY, JUNE 02, 2014
As a citizen of this country, and as a customer of the Indian Railways, I have often wondered what is the definition of “super fast express”. As the description reads, it should be logically this way: the average distance traveled per scheduled stop between the starting point of the train and its terminal station, should be above a minimum number, excluding the starting and terminating stations

Election Results 2014.
FRIDAY, MAY 16, 2014
The individual candidates who have won are largely clean; the corrupt candidates have been largely ousted: of course in a vast country. Also the candidates who have actually done work for their constituencies have been preferred to those who have forgotten the people of their constituencies as soon as they have won.

General Elections 2014 -2
SUNDAY, MAY 11, 2014
Instead of being focused on the people they have been elected to serve, political parties in India are focused only on themselves, and on the opposition parties that pose a threat to their vested interests. They have lost all credibility with us, the people of India; no one really trusts their intentions or their abilities.

General Elections 2014 -1
FRIDAY, MAY 02, 2014
The coming parliamentary elections are different from past elections for many reasons, the most important of which is that the Indian citizen has now become fully aware of his authority and power. He is now a proactive citizen, and he is asserting his rights based on the following truths:
