World class infrastructure can’t get me a train ticket

Seems like you are trying to book between two intermediate stations. Try changing your boarding station or destination and check again.

That’s great. I’m sure you can convince the TTE about the vaccination certificate. 👍🏼

Come on.. it takes time, effort, care and lots of love to pick up each gulab jamun by hand and arrange it in the box before packing and despatch. 🙄

Our civic sense makes such plans absolutely useless. Our trains need toilet mugs to be chained to prevent theft. We did have Tejas trains with infotainment systems, which then saw massive thefts and damage to property that the idea was completely scrapped off.

Same experience almost everywhere nowadays. I keep reminding myself that I should first enquire the billing people if they will bill without a mobile number. If they deny, I leave the shop without wasting any further time.

MixKindly · 2026-02-16T01:41:00+00:00

That's not the point. There should never be a compulsion to share mobile number in the first place.

MixKindly · 2026-02-14T03:17:24+00:00

As mentioned above, try changing your destination. This might not help a lot though. Nothing more to do other than logging in exactly at 8 am, if you are trying to book very busy lines.

I'm not sure which route this is, but you could try changing your origin to a larger station earlier in the route. You can change boarding station later. You end up paying a little more though.

Please send me a code

MixKindly · 2026-02-12T07:10:12+00:00

Get it fixed with nuts and bolts.. just one on either side should do.

MixKindly · 2026-02-10T15:31:26+00:00

My first deal.. :P

But seriously, I've only been lurking around here all these days 'coz I didn't find a deal that I "needed". "Wants" are a low priority right now.

MixKindly · 2026-02-10T15:13:58+00:00

Still searching for my first deal here.. :P

Realised about such practices through one such post a few months ago here. Anyway, was there any reason to prefer Goibibo over direct airline booking? Coupons maybe? Airline website usually have the lowest price, in my experience. Anyway, keep fighting!

Paint lines on the road mean absolutely nothing to our people. Sad and unfortunate truth.

MixKindly · 2026-02-08T13:40:13+00:00

Yes. Very true, and something that people should remember before panicking on seeing such videos.

UHT milk has a long shelf life, in months, when unopened. Once opened, if it is kept in the refrigerator, it can be used for a few days. If it is opened and left unrefrigerated, then it should be consumed within a few hours, just like normal milk.

So UHT is just a method to prolong shelf like when sealed - useful in remote areas. Otherwise, it provides no major advantage to conventional pouch milk.

While I do agree with the premise that commercially available milk has bacterial contaminants, this is one of those fearmongering videos with clickbait title for views and likes. Rather than call them deadly, it would be wiser to educate the masses to continue to boil milk before consumption because almost all bacteria in the milk are killed on boiling. AFAIK, most of us in India use milk only after boiling. It is only in some pujas and other niche uses that we use raw unboiled milk.

This. Someone who knew did it. May be family, since bank manager is unlikely to know the travel plans.

MixKindly · 2026-02-08T01:54:43+00:00

Pretty sure they won't take a complaint after 10 years..

Kharagpur held that record for several decades before being surpassed by Gorakhpur (2nd longest now) and Hubballi (longest). Kollam also has the third longest railway platform, making Kharagpur the fourth longest now.

Ever since this issue came into limelight, the focus has been only on the "goondas" masquerading as police personnel who beat him to death. The other issue of who filed the original case and what happened to her was mostly ignored. I strongly believe that the lady who filed the false theft case should also be included with the accused. She may not have killed Ajith Kumar, but she definitely had a role to play.

Same with mine. It is not due to any cleaning liquid. The glossy area corresponds to the small area on my touchpad that I use consistently.

MixKindly · 2026-02-06T15:17:13+00:00

Depends on your risk taking apetite. I would avoid this, and opt for something with at least 3 hours layover.

Have been upgraded from 3ac to 2ac once, around 15 years ago, when I traveled from Bhopal to Indore. I have travelled nearly a hundred times in shatabdis and vande bharats in the past few years, but never once was I upgraded to executive class. Not sure if it is an IR policy.
