Yesterday I was thinking of state of neurology in India i.e. how far the healthcare has come in neurology which to me is always “the” area where we as humans have to explore alot. I was checking some neurology treatment offered in India and found this post which talks little about the types of surgeries and treatment India is offering and I was surprised to see CCSVI too as it is not offered in too many countries and hospitals. I am very sure that atleast 5-6 major hospitals are offering this treatment in India.

Now India just need to start giving approval of cloning and stem cell research as India has penty of scholars and skilled doctors to take it further.

Half of the summer is gone and Indian trains are having huge waiting list of 200+ and more in sleeper class. I tried to book a ticket and there was no ticket available in any of the five trains even after 3 weeks. Needless to say, I am going through “tatkal” route now.

With tatkal system, you can get a ticket 2 days before the departure of the train for additional Rs 75 for Sleeper, Rs 200 for AC III Tier and Rs 300 for AC II Tier which is fairly reasonable since in summer, the waiting list often don’t get cleared, specially for AC II tier and AC III tier.

In the Morning when I tried to open IRCTC site it was not working. This is not the first time this has happened and certainly won’t be the last time as I think 25% of the time, your ticket booking never gets completed.

After spending 5-10 minutes selecting all the options, the moment I click on payment option, I get logout of the site saying some unexpected error happened and I have to start everything all over again. What I never understood is, why can’t they store sessions for people to I again don’t have to start everything.

I had written an Air Conditioner review few days back telling you guys that I have purchased Haier Air Conditioner because I got all the cable/tube with it unlike voltas Air conditioners (and others), now here is the problem, It is not working!

Apparently the “gas” of the air conditioner is leaking as per Haier, it took them 7 days to refill the gas and after two weeks, the gas again went out. I have made numerous calls to Haier support and they say they will come and see but nothing has been done so far.

last week I trvelled in Rajdhani Express (Bangalore to Delhi) for the first time as I had never travelled in it before! Not that that traveling in Rajdhani has remain any kind of status symbol or something, infact I don’t think even now traveling in a plane has been a status symbol, I am still reviwing my journey by Rajdhani as it was an interesting experience and will help poor souls like me who doesn’t travel much and are traveling by rajdhani by first time.

So it was a 2300 KM journey which was supposed to take 34 hours and I was told that all breakfast,lunch and dinner including tea/snacks will be served which was nice since I had paid 50% more for my journey. A typical AC II Tier journey costs Rs 2000 from Bangalore to Delhi but here I had paid Rs 2800 and the fact that Rajdhani is no more faster than Sampark Kranti, I was expecting the food to make up for the Rs 800 extra, and I wasn’t really disappointed.

Indian companies, specially domestic companies are renowned for taking the customer for granted and providing poor quality of service and the reason being that they know not much will be done against them, there is consumer court but most of the people don’t go it due as most of these cases are too small. But now Indians can compalint about the poor service provided by the companies at Indian Consumer Complaints site.

The site provides people to write their complaints, say if some builder is not refunding money or state water or electricity board is giving you wrong bills or you are getting too many calls from some mobile company, you can write all your complaints on the site and they will be forwarded to the concerned authorities.
