Eyecatchers-221: Why  IRCTC does not allow you to choose seats?

Why  IRCTC does not allow you to choose seats?

Would you believe that the technical reason behind this is Engineering PHYSICS.

Booking a seat in a train is far more different than booking a seat in a theatre.

Theatre is a hall, whereas train is a moving object. So safety concern is very high in trains.

Indian railways ticket booking software is designed in such a way that it will book tickets in a manner that will distribute the load evenly in a train.

An example to make things  more clear : Imagine there are sleeper class coaches in a train numbered S1, S2 S3... S10, and in every coach there are 72 seats.

So when some one first books a ticket, software will assign a seat in the middle coach like S5, middle seat numbered between 30-40, and preferably lower berths (Railways first fills the lower berths than upper one so as to achieve low centre of gravity.)

And the software books seats in such a way that all coaches have uniform passenger distribution and seats are filled starting from the middle seats (36) to seats near the gates i.e 1-2 or 71-72 in order from lower berth to upper.

Railways just want to ensure a proper balance that each coach should have for equal load distribution.

That is why when you book a ticket at the last, you are always allotted an upper berth and a seat numbered around 2-3 or 70, except when you are not taking a seat of someone who has cancelled his/her seat.

What if the railways book tickets randomly ? A train is a moving object which moves around at a speed of around 100km/hr on rails.
So there are a lot of forces and mechanics acting on the train.

Just imagine if S1, S2, S3 are completely full and S5, S6 are completely empty and others are partially  full. When the train takes a turn, some coaches face maximum centrifugal force and some minimum, and this creates a high chance of derailment of the train.

This is a very technical aspect, and when brakes are applied there will be different braking forces acting at each of the coaches because of the huge differences in weight of coach, so stability of train becomes an issue again. 

Good information worth sharing, as often passengers blame the Railways citing inconvenient seats/ berths allotted to them.

India Watch-51:

*TRULY   SHOCKING  -  BUT THEN   THIS  IS INDIA*

*She is the privileged resident of 10 Janpath for more than 25 yrs*.

Originally from a poor family background in Italy, she prospered in India to become world’s fourth richest politician.

She made herself worth $2 billion by being an Indian Politician.

*She is none other than Antonia Edvige Albina Maino aka Sonia Gandhi.*

Sonia Gandhi, a woman richer than Elizabeth, the Queen of England, has established herself at the residence of 10 Janpath which is bigger than the Prime Minister’s official residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg (Previously Race Course Road).

As per an RTI reply, the Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s home is spread over 15,181 square meters.

It is bigger than the Prime Minister’s residence, 7 RCR, which is spread over 14,101 square meters.

The question arises about the justification of this discrepancy.

The president of a crumbling political party occupies a residence bigger than the Prime Minister of India.

There was a poll conducted in this regard by ‘My Vote Today’, India’s leading e-pollster.

The poll asked a question to the public. “With 44 MPs in Lok Sabha, should Congress President Sonia Gandhi have an official bunglaw larger than that of the PM?”

In a democratic country like India, if the opinion of the people matters, then the verdict is clear.

*73% voted for ‘No’, 26% said, ‘Yes’ and 1% voted for ‘May be’.*

Is this ‘writing on the wall’ enough indication that Sonia should pack her bags and respect the voice of democracy?

In 2013-14, the expenses for the maintenance of electrical fittings at 10, Janpath incurred were 7 times more than the previous year and amounted to Rs 51,43,318.

In 2012-13, it was Rs 7,82,968 and in 2011-12 it was Rs 2,65,681.

The maintenance was done by the same agency for all these three years.

These dubious figures have been revealed by CPWD in an answer to RTI.

These expenses are paid by the Government.

In other words, the expenses for the lavish stay of the Italian Queen are paid by us, the tax-payers!

The bachelor son of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi doesn’t stay with his mother at 10, Janpath.

I wonder if it is too small for two family members!

He has a separate bungalow allotted to him at 12, Tughlak Lane, which is 5,022.58 square meters in size.

Being the Member of Parliament, it is his right.

But, on moral grounds, can’t Gandhis help to save the tax-payers’ money by some cost.

Funny part is, Sonia Gandhi’s married daughter Priyanka Vadra has also been allotted a bungalow at 35, Lodhi Estate which is 2,765.18 square meters.

Priyanka Vadra is not a MP. But she is a family member of the privileged Gandhis.

Whether in power or out of power, nobody has dared to destabilize Sonia Gandhi from 10, Janpath from last two and half decades.

It’s time we raise our voice against the privileges provided to these fake Gandhis.

It looks atrocious in a country where MILLIONS live in penury and PUBLIC MONEY IS SQUANDERED LIKE THIS.

Wife to her Accountant husband:
what is inflation?

Husband:
Earlier you were 36-24-36. But now you are
48-40-48.
Though you have everything bigger than before, your value has become less than before.
This is INFLATION .
