i heard the scrapping of chair as he got up frustrated..well who wouldn't be?..mom was beginning to grow frantic and was making desperate calls to the 'booking expert' of our family..ie..of cos sridharanna!..she ended up noting down the transaction ID instead of PNR number and got hyper when the 139 voice said (ever so sweetly).."this PNR number is invalid"..
the next day evening came...and even dad began to lose his cool..he called mom and told her to book 2 tickets in some bus..she rushed out to book them and when she returned..dad got the information that the tickets were confirmed..! What a relief!..BUT!..mom had to rush out again to cancel the bus tickets and we ended up donating Rs.600 to the Bangalore road transport corporation...all this because of IRCTC!...
But we cannot blame them completely..(as long as i'm nt the one who is doing the booking ;) )...as they teach us many values especially PATIENCE...and precision...(because once we enter the data wrong..we hav to start from scratch!..) I wonder why short-tempered people have not yet stuck a fist through their computer due to 'booking-deficience-syndrome'.
