Recently I was booking few train tickets for my in-laws at IRCTC website, which btw is a wonderful website that makes the whole train reservation affair so simple. Just then I have realized that even though you can book tickets online, you still need to carry a printout of the ticket when you board the […]

I have been wanting an ipod for almost two and half years now. Somehow the need vanished after I got my Walkman phone.
