Till today morning 10 AM, I was really proud of our railways...150 yrs of history, one of the largest networks of the world, more than million employees...still one of the cheapest means of transport...With all these in mind, I sat down to book a train ticket.
It was 10AM, and I tried log-ing, to book a tatkal ticket. After 14 mins of refresh and new trails, slowly the traditional blue screen came up...I was so happy to enter my user name and password !!! Evvalo periya sadhanai? I clicked Login, and BOOM...the screen went off...HTTP Connection Error - 503!!!
Appadina enna? I didn't know...so I googled it :) Irctc site window summa gummu nu appadiye ninnudichi...Coming to 503, net told me that its an error code happening when the server couldn't take more connections. Seri, learning no. 1...
I tried till 10.24 AM...login aagala...enna koduma saravana ithu !!! 10.25, it went inside my login and I got the travel planning window. Entered the details...Quota as Tatkal...pressed " Find trains"....sathiyama, I couldn't find the connection at all...after some 5 mins of anti-clockwise turns in status, web page got reloaded to the same initial window, "Plan my travel"...dei...oru ticket ku ethana thadava da naan plan pannanum?
Till 10.38, I was trying the same Planning...truly speaking, I have never planned so many times even for company interviews :)
When I hardly gave up, suddenly it went to the trains page, and I selected SL...hufffff...athukku appuram, I waited for 14 mins...In the availability window, there was a chakra rotating...naanum evvalo naazhi thaan athu nikkum nu nenaichu pakkurathu? Finally I stopped it at 10.52, to get the error message "Problem in Connection"...dei...ithellam too much da...seri nu, I gave one final try...every thing was though in one shot...I was so surprised to click SL and window loading automatically, only to find the tatkal WL no. as 62...
I thought of breaking the monitor, aana, this is company property..."Unarchiya kattu paduthu da palani" :(
Athukku appuram, for one hr, I spent time on thinking, eppadi intha site and railways a thittalam nu...10MBPS linekey ithu thaan nelamana...
