How to Get Confirmed Tatkal Ticket on IRCTC
Its very common today that booking an confirmed Tatkal ticket from IRCTC is not less than fighting a war. According to the new rules, the tatkal booking starts at 9AM on the internet and the servers are already hanged up from 8:30 AM.
Here are few short tips which would definitely help you to get the confirmed tickets during tatkal booking.
1. Match your Computer Time with IRCTC Website time
Its quite common that any user keeps the eye on the computer time when he books tatkal tickets, just imagine, what if your system's time is 1 minute late ? your system would show 8:59AM and it would be 9:AM on IRCTC and the tatkal bookings would have been started.
So, Synchronize your computer time to the IRCTC timing.
2. Use Station codes [Very Important]
This is a very important tip which can definitely save your lot of time. Generally what people do is, Suppose they want to book a ticket from Bangalore, they type 'Bang' and wait for the pop down menu which will display the list of matched stations, out of which you can select one.
This wastes a lot of time and that definitely will lose your chances to book an tatkal ticket.
Best Method :
Indian Railway has alloted station codes to each and every station.
For example :
SBC is for Bangalore
ADI is for Ahmedabad
You just type the station code in the Station name, select date, class and press Search. No need to wait for that pop down list, at all !
You can search for the Station codes here

3. Add Master List of Passengers into your IRCTC account
You can create a master list of all passengers who are likely to travel on the tickets booked by you, so that while booking tickets you can easily input data from this list.
Whenever you are booking a tatkal ticket, no need to type their name, age and other details, as you can select that directly from the list which would definitely save your precious time
4. Keep all the Details ready with you
Its always an good idea to type all the information as 'Name' and 'ID' number into a notepad, so that you can directly copy paste into the irctc booking window and save your time, while booking the ticket.
Even the payment options as Card number, Name of the card holder etc can be typed temporarily into notepad, so that you can copy paste that and the booking can be done faster.
[Note : Don't keep the credit/debit card details saved on pc, it may be harmful]
5. Use the Magic Fill to fill the information
The Magic tool created by Amit Agarwal can really do the wonders to save the precious seconds while booking the ticket.
ctrlq.org/irctc is a tool which can be used to add the passenger information. Just before say 10-15 minutes of booking, open the link, add up the information and click 'I'm feeling lucky'. You will get a Magicfill button on the bottom right corner of the window. Just drag it to bookmarks of your browser.
Now, when its the time to fill the information into the irctc passenger page, just click on the magicfill from the bookmarks and the passenger information would automatically filled and you can proceed to payment.
The Usage of Magic fill is explained in the Video below :
6. Use Multiple Login Ids
If you dont have multiple IRCTC accounts, create one, using the details of any of your family members.
Now, whenever you need to book tatkal tickets, Open the different account in different browser.
If you open one in Google Chrome, open another account in Mozilla firefox, because irctc will detect and terminate the session, if you do from the same browser.
If these tips help you in booking the tatkal tickets, please do Share this with your friends, so that everyone can use them.

The Amazing Memories of School Days
Few things which every single person misses and wants it to get back is, 'Childhood' and the 'School days'. In the most busy life, just a small incident or memory of those days bring a random smile on the face and it feels so good.
Here is one of the SMS Forwards which I got and I love to share this.
"Once choosing the colour of a sketch pen was a tough task.
Occupying the window seat in the school bus was called obsession.
Getting a toffee as a birthday treat from a friend made our day.
Being the first one to finish copying from the blackboard was the ultimate moment of pride.
Hiding the answers from a bench partner during exams was not called selfishness.
When homework was the only torture & finished it soon,so could get some extra time to play.
Early to bed, early to rise was life’s mantra, but how we loved sleeping late and having some extra TV time!
Owning a cycle was like owning everything.
To look good was only to use a neat comb.
We didn’t need FB or a phone to keep in touch!
We thought all elders are ideal, when Daddy was the only hero and Mom was the only Best friend.”
So what they say is right."
“Everybody dies twice. Once when their childhood ends.”

We will miss Sachin Sadly : Pakistan Team
Even the Pakistan team could not resist themselves praising Sachin, before the Indo Pak series, as they spoke about sachin during their net practice at Bangalore
Pakistan captain Md Hafeez told, "We will miss Sachin sadly though we have been looking forward to play against him in this series. As a nation and players, we feel sad that Sachin has retired from ODIs ahead of this series, as he had his debut in international cricket on Pakistan soil (1989). The world will miss his artistry on the field as he has been a great entertainer of the game,"
He also added, "We admire the man for his sheer domineering character who rattled all types of bowlers around the world. We all can praise his efforts to excel in international cricket. There is no doubt that he is a genius. We wish him good luck for the future,"
Sohail Tanveer said, "I enjoyed bowling to him because the margin of error was so less that he could dispatch even good deliveries to the fence. Words are not enough to describe his achievements for India. He deserves the highest respect from the cricketing world,"
Umar Gul said, "India should be proud of having a great cricketer like Sachin, whose presence in the team over the last two decades had inspired a generation of players and contributed in nurturing young cricketers like Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina. I am sure many more like them have learnt a lot from him"
Pakistani Young batsman Umar Amin said, ""I played against India in 2010 Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, but unfortunately Sachin wasn't there. I would like to say only one thing that if cricket is religion then Sachin is god,"

Apart from all these, Samsung Galaxy S Duos also has smile detection, ISO control, panorama and white balance preset features. Sony Xperia J do attracts customers with its digital image stabilization feature. Both the phones are also equipped with 0.3-megapixel VGA front camera.
Support for different connectivity matches equally for the two phones. Both have GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi with hotspot and microUSB v2.0. Only there is slight difference in the Bluetooth version. Sony Xperia J comes with Bluetooth v2.1 and Samsung Galaxy S Duos has Bluetooth v3.0.

Worst Experience with Crazy Domains !
If you are looking for some cheap domains and you find somewhere that Domains at just $0.99 or Rs.99, and that too, if its Crazy Domains, I personally recommend not to get lured to it.
Why Not Crazy Domains :
- Delay in Registration
- Worst Customer Support
- DNS Hosting needs to be Purchased Separately
Few days back, I was looking for some .in and .co.in domains, and I found out that CrazyDomains were providing it for Rs.99 per domain, and I was like, Let's go for it. I searched for my domains, found it available, I added them into cart and made the payment.
Even after the successful payment, I got the email saying that, "Your domains are Pending and it would take about 48 hours to approve the domain", I was like WTF !
I just cross checked the same domain on other sites and to my surprise, they were being shown as "Available" !
Worst Customer Support :
I went to their "Contact Us" and soon realised that, there was no good customer care support, still I mailed them regarding the same, and the reply I got was after 1-2 days that, "Due to some technical issues, You need to wait for 3-4 days more". This really pissed me off.
Finally, after 4 days, I got mail saying that domains were registered successfully. I was like, Thank god, I must not see more problems, but No !!
Domain doesn't have DNS Hosting Free
I logged into my account, found my domains there, just clicked on Manage domains, so that I could add the DNS Settings and I could point the domain to blogspot blogs and guess what ??
There was no CNAME settings at all !!!
On searching and enquiring, I came to know that, To point the domains to other website, you need to purchase the DNS Hosting seperately, that too one DNS Hosting per domain, and this really frustrated me a lot. It was freaking $18 per Year per domain.That's a 1K per domain ! Crazy
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your email.
To forward your domain to your existing website , static ip address or free website creator such as Wix , Weebly , Yola and MYOB ,

If you have Web Hosting with Crazy Domains, then only they provide you Free DNS Hosting.
I own many domains on various sites and none of them asked me to purchase DNS Hosting separately, and Crazy domains are really Crazy !!!
Now, the Thing is, neither I want to spent Rs.2000 for DNS hosting and nor can I point the domains to my blog.
I thought of transferring the domains to other registrar but ICANN says, A Minimum of 3 months, you need to spend with the existing regsitrar !!
Final Words :
"Crazy domains are really Crazy, they will piss you at every moment with them, and its a sincere advice, Dont register the domains with them, even if they provide you for Free" !

Obama's Winning Speech 2012 [Video and Text]
His speech after the victory was appreciated and praised by many media journals and news channels.
Obama's 2012 Winning Speech Video
Obama's 2012 Winning Speech Text
Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.
It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.
Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come.
I want to thank every American who participated in this election. Whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time, by the way, we have to fix that, whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.
I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service. And that is a legacy that we honour and applaud tonight. In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.
I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America's happy warrior, and the best vice-president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.
And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly. Michelle, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation's first lady.
Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes, you're growing up to become two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom. And I am so proud of you guys. But I will say that, for now, one dog's probably enough.
To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics, the best ever, some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.
But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together. And you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way , to every hill, to every valley. You lifted me up the whole day, and I will always be grateful for everything that you've done and all the incredible work that you've put in.
I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.
You'll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organiser who's working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. You'll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who's going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift.
You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who's working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.
That's why we do this. That's what politics can be. That's why elections matter. It's not small, it's big. It's important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy. That won't change after tonight. And it shouldn't. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty, and we can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.
But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America's future.
We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers , a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow.
We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened up by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.
We want to pass on a country that's safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on Earth and the best troops this – this world has ever known, but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.
Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come.
I want to thank every American who participated in this election. Whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time, by the way, we have to fix that, whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.

And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.
You'll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organiser who's working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. You'll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who's going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift.
You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who's working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.
That's why we do this. That's what politics can be. That's why elections matter. It's not small, it's big. It's important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy. That won't change after tonight. And it shouldn't. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty, and we can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.
But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America's future.
We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers , a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow.
We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened up by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.
We want to pass on a country that's safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on Earth and the best troops this – this world has ever known, but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.
We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America open to the dreams of an immigrant's daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag , the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner, to the furniture worker's child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president.
That's the that's the future we hope for.
That's the vision we share. That's where we need to go forward. That's where we need to go.
Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. It's not always a straight line. It's not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won't end all the gridlock, resolve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward.
But that common bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. A decade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over. And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you. And you've made me a better president. And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.
Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual. You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.
And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together, reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We've got more work to do.
But that doesn't mean your work is done. The role of citizens in our democracy does not end with your vote. America's never been about what can be done for us; it's about what can be done by us together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. That's the principle we were founded on.
This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history, but that's not what makes us strong. Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores. What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth, the belief that our destiny is shared, that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that the freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That's what makes America great.
I am hopeful tonight because I have seen this spirit at work in America. I've seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbours and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job. I've seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb and in those Seals who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back. I've seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.
And I saw it just the other day in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his eight-year-old daughter whose long battle with leukaemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for healthcare reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care. I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowd, listening to that father's story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own.
And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright. That's who we are. That's the country I'm so proud to lead as your president.
And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been more hopeful about our future. I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope.
I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path. I'm not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.
America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunities and new security for the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of our founding, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. You can make it here in America if you're willing to try.
I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and forever will be, the United States of America.
And together, with your help and God's grace, we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth. Thank you, America. God bless you. God bless these United States.
That's the that's the future we hope for.
That's the vision we share. That's where we need to go forward. That's where we need to go.

Womens in Technology
Women in tech seem to be one of the most controversial subjects in tech right now. There are loads of success stories in the start up world and most of them are started by men. Take a look at Google, Facebook and Apple – these are massive companies that have become brands and they were started by men. We need to think about how the tech industry can encourage more women founders.
Here are three reasons why women need to be involved more in the tech world:
- Diversity: Women are known to be the financial decision makers in an average household. This means that more women involved will create diversity in consumer choices. If more start ups include women in decision-making processes or if there are more women founders, there will be more diversity in the types of start up businesses that we see.
- Different types of start up businesses: If there are more women founders in tech, we would probably have different types of businesses besides the typical social network businesses that have popped up. Women founders could get involved in business-to-consumer start ups that speak to women and other demographics whose needs are not being met by the majority of start ups on the market at the moment.
- Evens the landscape: Whether women need start up capital from unsecured loans or they choose to go to venture capital instead, it’s crucial for women to get access to start up funds in order to smooth out the gender landscape.
