People usually log into southernrailways.org or <cite>www.<b>indian</b>rail.gov.in to check for availability and IRCTC.co.in separately to book the tickets .</cite> Indian Railways must integrate the sites , and provide an option for booking a ticket and linking back to the IRCTC website directly in that same page ,if the corresponding ticket is available. They may be two different departments / entities in the organization , yet it is a must to bring them together to increase traffic<br ></br> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>The southern railway and the Indian Railways website looks like a horrible mess ,with huge banner ads and matrimonial ads (even airline ads, which is a direct competition) and makes it look like a cheaply hosted website run by a small firm , and definitely not look like that of a 5000 crore turnover Govt Organization</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Server capcity and traffic handling capability of the Indian Railways website is extremely poor , with the server going offline several times a week . 40 % of the time , it shows a network or a database error.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The "search for Information " process to search train names, schedules or timings can be quite a difficult task for novice users. Only those people who are aware of the "string and substring search" concepts , and actually knows the mechanism of the search may find their required information . If the whole string is entered with a slightly different spelling , it shows an error or "No records found" msg, to indicate No such train exists ,and does not offer any alternative trains or suggest some other info .</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Their "Spot your Train" feature, which indicates the exact position of any currently running training across South India is a brilliant concept (similar to the "track your flight feature in International flights"). Yet it has failed quite considerably with less support , and poor marketing . In a quick dipstick survey it was found that 90 % was unaware of any such feature in the Southern railway website.</li> </ul> <br ></br> If they could eliminate these errors ,and channelise their resources ,byr providing other services too, I guess they can reap in huge success and even convert some of the air travellers ,including foreign tourists to rail travel.<br ></br> <br ></br> Probably they have to position their service offering , not as "just a train journey" but as an "experience" to savour<br ></br> <br ></br> P.S - The last line was actually inspired from a true incident . The last time i travelled in a Shatabdi Express , the TTE actually loudly greeted all their passengers , like an air hostess and went and wished everyone a nice journey, personally <div style='clear: both;' ></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div style='float: left;'> <br ></br> <br ></br> <a href='http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/indian-railways-hae-they-really.html&title=Indian%20Railways%20:%20Have%20they%20really%20embraced%20the%20Web%20?' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>** Digg this Article ***</big> </font> </a> <a href='http://www.technorati.com/faves?add=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/indian-railways-hae-they-really.html' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>Share This With Technorati ***</big> </font> </a> <a href='http://www.stumbleupon.com/refer.php?url=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/indian-railways-hae-they-really.html&title=Indian%20Railways%20:%20Have%20they%20really%20embraced%20the%20Web%20?' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>**Stumble This**</big> </font> </a> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23202756&postID=1073552844035710002&isPopup=true' class='comment-link'> 3 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=23202756&postID=1073552844035710002' title='Email Post'> <img class='icon-action' src='http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_email.gif' alt='' ></img> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2' ></div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3' ></div> </div> </div>  <iframe name='google_ads_frame' allowtransparency='true' src='http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-2302462888176535&host=pub-1556223355139109&dt=1227083418984&lmt=1226911559&prev_fmts=336x280_as&format=468x15_0ads_al_s&output=html&correlator=1227083414250&url=http%3A%2F%2Fkarthikmurali.blogspot.com%2F&color_bg=111111&color_text=FFFFFF&color_link=FFFFFF&color_url=FFFFFF&color_border=111111&ea=0&frm=0&ga_vid=2109204699.1227076789&ga_sid=1227083414&ga_hid=724702336&ga_fc=true&flash=9.0.124&u_h=1024&u_w=1280&u_ah=994&u_aw=1280&u_cd=32&u_tz=330&u_his=1&u_java=true&u_nplug=22&u_nmime=104&dtd=0' vspace='0' marginwidth='0' frameborder='0' height='15' hspace='0' marginheight='0' scrolling='no' width='468' ></iframe>  <h2 class='date-header'>Saturday, November 15, 2008</h2> <div class='post hentry'> <a name='5319930163133795220' ></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title'> <a href='http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/rasmussen.html'>Rasmussen</a> </h3> <div class='post-header-line-1'> <div style='float: right; margin-left: 10px;'> <iframe src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.php?u=http%3A//karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/rasmussen.html' frameborder='0' height='80' scrolling='no' width='52' ></iframe> </div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content'> <p class='MsoNormal' align='left' style='text-align: left;'> <span style='font-size: 85%;'>In the wake of the financial meltdown across the globe, the need for higher education is on the rise , and becoming critically important .

The audience were more tuned in identifying the brand names in cars,cell phones, alcohol,laptops,watches etc, rather than being absorbed in the thrilling chases and fights.<br ></br> <br ></br> According to IMDB , the product placements and brand integrations for this movie include :<br ></br> </p> <ul> <li>Aston Martin DBS,Alfa Romeo and the Ford Motor Company including vehicle makes Volvo, Range Rover, and the new Ka</li> <li>Smirnoff Vodka, Bollinger Champagne,Heineken Pilsener Beer</li> <li>Sony Electronics & Sony Ericsson cell phones including the Titanium Silver Edition C902 Cyber-shot Phone;<br ></br> </li> <li>Virgin Atlantic Airlines</li> <li>Omega SA Watches, James Bond wears the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M; Swatch etc..<br ></br> </li> </ul> <br ></br> I'm sure its a dream run for marketers and advertisers for their brands to be featured in a James Bond movie,which will be watched by millions of people across the world , but when it comes to the average moviegoer , I guess they'd prefer to watch an "original" movie rather than a "sponsored" brand movie.<br ></br> <br ></br> So next time , in a movie ,the hero drinks a "Starbucks" coffee rather than just a coffee , you know what it is ! <div style='clear: both;' ></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div style='float: left;'> <br ></br> <br ></br> <a href='http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/bond-marketing.html&title=%22The%20Bond%22%20Marketing' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>** Digg this Article ***</big> </font> </a> <a href='http://www.technorati.com/faves?add=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/bond-marketing.html' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>Share This With Technorati ***</big> </font> </a> <a href='http://www.stumbleupon.com/refer.php?url=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/bond-marketing.html&title=%22The%20Bond%22%20Marketing' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>**Stumble This**</big> </font> </a> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23202756&postID=8948482267964144021&isPopup=true' class='comment-link'> 4 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=23202756&postID=8948482267964144021' title='Email Post'> <img class='icon-action' src='http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_email.gif' alt='' ></img> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2' ></div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3' ></div> </div> </div>  <iframe name='google_ads_frame' allowtransparency='true' src='http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-2302462888176535&host=pub-1556223355139109&dt=1227083420546&lmt=1226911559&prev_fmts=336x280_as%2C468x15_0ads_al_s%2C468x15_0ads_al_s&format=468x15_0ads_al_s&output=html&correlator=1227083414250&url=http%3A%2F%2Fkarthikmurali.blogspot.com%2F&color_bg=111111&color_text=FFFFFF&color_link=FFFFFF&color_url=FFFFFF&color_border=111111&ea=0&frm=0&ga_vid=2109204699.1227076789&ga_sid=1227083414&ga_hid=724702336&ga_fc=true&flash=9.0.124&u_h=1024&u_w=1280&u_ah=994&u_aw=1280&u_cd=32&u_tz=330&u_his=1&u_java=true&u_nplug=22&u_nmime=104&dtd=0' vspace='0' marginwidth='0' frameborder='0' height='15' hspace='0' marginheight='0' scrolling='no' width='468' ></iframe>  <h2 class='date-header'>Thursday, November 06, 2008</h2> <div class='post hentry'> <a name='4904139250522754858' ></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title'> <a href='http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/to-change-or-not-to-change.html'> To Change or Not to Change !</a> </h3> <div class='post-header-line-1'> <div style='float: right; margin-left: 10px;'> <iframe src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.php?u=http%3A//karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/to-change-or-not-to-change.html' frameborder='0' height='80' scrolling='no' width='52' ></iframe> </div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content'> <p>We belong to a society , which has managed to build a closed surrounding, that resists change in any form.

We do not like someone to dictate terms on how do we do things.We want to do it in the same way we have been doing all along. We take a considerable time in adapting ourself to a particular habitat and its tough to force upon ourselves a new change , even if its meant for the positive side.How many times you have given this quizzical look , when your friends remark , "you have changed" , and retaliate saying "Definitely No". What better pride can you display than to say "I havent changed a bit.

We don't like it. We fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying, but here's the truth sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything.</span> </p> </blockquote> <br ></br> This new "change" eventually raises a lot of questions to question the validity of change and do we really need to change?<br ></br> How often do we find ourselves in a situation asking the inevitable "IF ? " question .<br ></br> "If I did that , If I had said that, If i had known that information, If I had told him the truth , If I hadnt done that , If I had managed to reach in time " , the list is endless.Only to later realize , "If" is just nothing but a two letter word for futility.You cant do anything about.<br ></br> If one has to change ,it has to be for the future and not for what he has been in the past.<br ></br> <br ></br> As Sidney Sheldon quotes " Future is like clay. It has to be molded day by day. Past is like a bedrock stone.It is immutable"<br ></br> <br ></br> Even travelers and globe trotters , who has seen most parts of the world , actually discover life and find solace only in their own homes, no matter where it is or how small it is .<br ></br> They may need a break , yet find their own feet only within the confines of their little home.<br ></br> <br ></br> The line from Wayne's world summarises everything : <span style='font-weight: bold;'>We Fear Change</span> <br ></br> <br ></br> Yet , the same "Change" interestingly has been responsible in deciding whos the most powerful man in the world.<br ></br> Barack Obama ,the first black president of the United States has successfully shown,what "Change" can do - to win a presidency , by assuring people , that Change is good, and it is there in the offing ! <div style='clear: both;' ></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div style='float: left;'> <br ></br> <br ></br> <a href='http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/to-change-or-not-to-change.html&title=To%20Change%20or%20Not%20to%20Change%20%21' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>** Digg this Article ***</big> </font> </a> <a href='http://www.technorati.com/faves?add=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/to-change-or-not-to-change.html' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>Share This With Technorati ***</big> </font> </a> <a href='http://www.stumbleupon.com/refer.php?url=http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/to-change-or-not-to-change.html&title=To%20Change%20or%20Not%20to%20Change%20%21' target='_blank'> <font color='#FFCC66'> <big>**Stumble This**</big> </font> </a> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23202756&postID=4904139250522754858&isPopup=true' class='comment-link'> 4 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=23202756&postID=4904139250522754858' title='Email Post'> <img class='icon-action' src='http://www.blogger.com/img/icon18_email.gif' alt='' ></img> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2' ></div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3' ></div> </div> </div> <h2 class='date-header'>Monday, November 03, 2008</h2> <div class='post hentry'> <a name='5088217601474298602' ></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title'> <a href='http://karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/ma-man.html'>Ma Man !</a> </h3> <div class='post-header-line-1'> <div style='float: right; margin-left: 10px;'> <iframe src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.php?u=http%3A//karthikmurali.blogspot.com/2008/11/ma-man.html' frameborder='0' height='80' scrolling='no' width='52' ></iframe> </div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content'> <p> <a href='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Tr5XOQvcNMg/SQ_TM3ynsEI/AAAAAAAAAko/kScBIQ448p8/s1600-h/mass_alon_raik_inte_podi_2008_470313.jpg'> <img src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Tr5XOQvcNMg/SQ_TM3ynsEI/AAAAAAAAAko/kScBIQ448p8/s400/mass_alon_raik_inte_podi_2008_470313.jpg' id='BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264658707507556418' border='0' alt='' style='margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;' ></img> </a> <br ></br> Is there a single Ferrari fan on earth who wouldnt have shed a sympathetic tear for Massa ?<br ></br> <br ></br> Who in the world would have thought , that the F1 championship title would have been decided in the last corner in the last lap of the final race of the season , which actually leads us to the question, Who was the best man of the race ?<br ></br> <br ></br> Was it Felipe Massa who drove an impeccable race , leading it from start to finish.
