irctc pnr status tneb online payment train running status pnr inquiry irctc railway pnr status Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited offers, online train ticket booking, hotel booking, cab booking, packaged holiday booking, and many other online services. They have such a huge array of services on offer that listing them all here in itself can be a daunting task.

What we wanted to point out here is how it can be very confusing for “AAM JANTA” with very little knowledge of computer and in particular Internet to demystify the mystery of IRCTC Domain names.
There are two domain names www.irctc.com and www.irctc.co.in that’s owned and run by IRCTC and to add more to the confusion there exists www.irctc.in that leads you nowhere even closer to the IRCTC website that you are looking for.

Lets talk about them one by one
www.irctc.in : this domain name is registered and owned by  Dr. Marco Ferro & Associates, and if you ever land up yourself on this domain, all you will see is a bunch of Ads that will lead you to some random travel websites. If you are looking to book train ticket or avail any of the online services offered by IRCTC, this is certainly not the website that will meet your needs.
The second is www.irctc.com, The Title of this domain says, IRCTC CORPORATE PORTAL FOR COMPLAINT REGISTRATION, this website is owned and run by IRCTC but if you should not go by the TITLE of the website because it offers more services than you will imagine other than COMPLAINT REGISTRATION. Again, this is not the website that will be of any help if you are looking to Book Train Tickets, or check the PNR Status, check the availability of trains or anything that a regular IRCTC customer needs. Note! your Username and Password that you created on www.irctc.co.in to Login to book your train tickets will not work on www.irctc.com. I realized this after two failed attempts to login to book my ticket. First I thought that I have forgot my password but then I noticed that I was on the wrong website.
www.irctc.co.in : This is the website that runs the life of billions in India, though not designed in the best user friendly way. This is what will finally help you to get to your destination. Whether it’s booking yourtrain tickets, checking the availability of trains or checking the PNR Status of your train tickets,  www.irctc.co.in is all that you need.
Disclaimer: I am not a regular train traveller but everytime I use IRCTC I end upwith these thoughts- “Why cant IRCTC online services made simpler and easier to use so that even our Grandpa and Grandma withvery little knowledge of computer and Internet can use it with a smile on their face”Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC), which also provides online passenger reservation system, has launched a beta version of the revamped site, which is claimed to be more user-friendly and efficient.

The beta version of the new site is available at https://www.irctc.co.in/cgi-bin/beta.dll/irctc/services/home.do#

The new interface is intended to increase the number of visitors who book rail tickets using the site, said Subir Agrawal, director – Consulting, BroadVision – Asia Pacific Region. BroadVision is looking after the website.

“We observed that out of the total number of visitors to the IRCTC only 45 per cent book tickets. Our aim is to increase this number of visitors by making the process more interactive and easy,” he said.

One of the new steps taken is instant booking; the travellers need not login/register for the booking. Anyone can book tickets.

The team is using Web 2.0 platforms and Ajax for enabling more features in the site. The new site would have drop-down options and provide more information on the same web page.

“One need not put a separate request for the train, seats, availability and fare. The intelligent enquiry software would help getting the required information from a single request to central server and that in return bring down the load on the servers,” added Agrawal.

Apart from this, the department would have more powerful servers to take up the loads especially during the peak hours of booking season and timings.

One of the biggest challenges for BroadVision is server loads, which freezes the systems for minutes during booking the tickets especially at 8 am.

According to Subir Agrawal, the number of bookings on an average had been increasing multifold compared to the servers/infrastructure. These bookings and enquiry request are 6-7 times higher during the peak hours than the restof the day. So while the existing infrastructure is well equipped to handle the daylong traffic, it is the peak hour traffic that clogs servers.

He shared that the average number of booking done in a day is around 3 lakh in comparison to a thousand booking done some years ago. According to him, new-age technologies like virtualization are already being tested, but even they have their limitation.

“The best suit would be if we could get more 40-50 servers just for the peak hours to share the load, but none of the systems integrators today provide such facility on rent or any other ways.”

Also three key elements come into play while booking – Central Reservation System (CRS) maintained by Indian Railways, the transaction gateway (maintained by respective banks) and finally the provider of web applications, (BroadVision).

“The three need to collaborate together to get the best solution forward. IRCTC statistics suggest that in a month the success rate on transaction for bookings done by credit cards is around 72-75 per cent, while in case of net banking/debit card, it is around 67-70 per cent,” he added.

IRCTC is the most crowded website in the country. And given the ever-increasing penetration of Internet in cities and villages alike, IRCTC would see more and more eyeballs on the website. Though it claims to update the back-end technology in every two-three years, its problem does not seem to end, bringing in more responsibility on the web enabler like BroadVision.

In India, Monster and NaukriNaukri are the two prominent job sites offering online job search services. As far as my opinion goes Monster is the most user friendly website and gives accurate results sticking to what they say in their adad, “Monster search engine searches the best jobs for you”. Taking its popularity further Monster India has launched Mobile Job Search in India.

In today’s world, if a person is frustrated with his or her job, he or she looks for jobs on the Interneton the Internet in office hours; this sometimes is dangerous, keeping in mind the onlookers in office and also the nasty strategy of offices to record what their employees do. Some office have even banned job sitejob site inside office. This problem must have caught the attention of Monster along with the growing use of mobile to access Internet by Indian consumers.

keshub mahindra biography wiki warren anderson bhopal gas tragedy union carbide india limited Keshub Mahindra, among the seven Indians held guilty of criminal negligence in the Bhopal gas tragedy, the world’s worst industrial disaster, is chairman of automobile-to-software group Mahindra and Mahindra and grand old man of India Inc.
A graduate of Wharton, University of Pennsylvania, the 86-year-old second generation industrialist joined the company in 1947 and became the chairman in 1963. For nearly five decades since then, he has been guiding the $6-billion Mahindra group.
His office declined comment on the court verdict on the Bhopal gas tragedy. Mahindra was the chairman of Union Carbide India when the disaster struck the factory at Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh.
Widely respected for his philanthropic efforts, Mahindra is also among those who started corporate governance effeorts in real earnest and has served a number of official panels of the Indian government.
It was, perhaps, because of his association with Union Carbide when the company saw one of the worst industrial disasters, that he did not win any government award, though he has several lifetime achievement recognitions to his credit.
Mahindra was the original member of the so-called “Bombay Club” of the early 1990s that had opposed economic liberalisation programme, which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had launched for India as the country’s finance minister between 1991 and 1996.
He serves on the board of Mahindra Holdings and Finance, Housing Development Finance Corp, Tech Mahindra Foundation, Bombay Burmah Trading, Bombay Dyeing and Manufacturing, and Pratham-India Education Initiative, among other institutions.
He is on the Prime Minister’s Council on Trade and Industry, and has been past president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham), Bombay Chamber of Commerce Industry and the Indo-American Society.
Mahindra’s group had first started with manufacturing of the iconic Willys Jeep in India under a licensing arrangement and shifted gears to light commercial and tractors. It is today India’s largest manufacturer of sports utility vehicles.
The empire is now led by his nephew Anand Mahindra, as his three daughters were least interested in business.
Keshub Mahindra, who was convicted today of negligence and sentenced to two years in prison in the Bhopal gas tragedy case, is one of India’s best known industrialists.
Mahindra, who was chairman of Union Carbide’s Indian subsidiary in 1984, when the gas leak took place, is chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, India’s largest SUV maker with revenues of about $3 billion per annum.
He joined the company in 1947, about two years after it was set up by his father, JC Mahindra and uncle, KC Mahindra, and became chairman in 1963.
A graduate from the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania, USA, Mahindra is married, with three children. His nephew, Anand Mahindra, now runs the company as vice-chairman and managing director.
Keshub Mahindra, who was chairman of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, from 1975 to 1985, has received several awards, the latest being the ‘2008 Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) Award for Lifetime Contribution to the Automotive Industry’.
An avid philanthropist, Mahindra is chairman of numerous foundations and committees set up for social causes, including the Mahindra Foundation, which was set up to provide medical relief to the poor and needy sections of society.

tom cruise les grossman tom cruise movies mtv movie awards 2010 Tom Cruise proved that he was a funny man but he also proved to be an even greater dancer at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, held at Universal Studios’ Gibson Amphitheatre on Sunday (June 6) in Universal City, California.
Cruise opened the show in full costume dressed as “mega mogul” Les Grossman who is known for his dirty mouth.
Grossman kicked things of saying that :
” I am the producer of this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Movies are a marriage of picture and sound. My job is to get them drunk and to f—, and the illegitimate baby they make is called entertainment.”
Les Grossman was not done for the night,he had more surprises hidden under his hairy chest.
Grossman brought out Jennifer Lopez at the event and the duo worked it out very well to J.Lo’s 2005 song “Get Right”.
Katie Holmes and all of us watching were seriously impressed by the high energy,booty slapping performance.

Were you happy to see the profanity-spewing Hollywood producer on stage once more?
What did you think of the show?Tom Cruise rocked a bald head and a paunch, Sandra Bullock asked people to go back to making fun of her, and the Twilight franchise was predictably over-exposed at Sunday’s lively (and expletive-laden) MTV Movie Awards.
Though the two-hour ceremony seemed like one big promotion for the return of Jersey Shore on July 29 (the cast of the MTV reality show appeared frequently in and around the Gibson Amphitheatre near Universal Studios in California, where the event was held), the show was still chock full of highlights that didn’t involve Snooki or The Situation. Cruise gamely reprised his role as Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder in some side-splitting skits as the award show’s “producer” (“Sit back, relax, and enjoy my giant, two-hour s–t”). Ken Jeong (The Hangover) tearfully talked about his cancer-free wife while accepting the prize for the Best WTF Moment. Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen) dropped one too many F-bombs – some of which couldn’t be bleeped in time by the censors – when nabbing the Best Movie prize for New Moon. And making their (world!) premieres: the trailers for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Bullock – fresh off her surprise appearance at Saturday’s Guys Choice Awards - received this year’s Generation Award from presenters Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson and the delightfully unpredictable Betty White (who called her co-star from The Proposal a “national treasure” but then referred to her own ovaries as “historical monuments”). Resplendent in a short dress and sky-high heels, Bullock received a standing ovation as she told the crowd,  ”No matter what you might have seen or read, I love what I do. I’m not going anywhere.” And in an obvious reference to her very public split from Jesse James, Bullock quipped, “Whoever established the high road and how high it should be, should be fired.”
She then playfully kissed Johansson (the wife of Ryan Reynolds, Bullock’s co-star from The Proposal) and asked the crowd to pray for the victims of the oil spill disaster in the Gulf. “Go back to making fun of me,” she added.
The show included musical performances by Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry.  And yes, awards were actually given, though most of the acceptance speeches paled in comparison to the skits (Host Aziz Ansari as Taavon the Swagga Coach! Will Ferrell dangling from the proscenium!). Here were the night’s winners:
Best Female Performance:  Kristen Stewart (New Moon)
Best Breakout Star:  Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air)
Best Scared as Sh*! Performance: Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer’s Body)
Best Kiss:  Stewart and Robert Pattinson (New Moon)
