I recall this...
Fail to book ticket on time to my town for my favorite festival only to realize that I am wait listed at 300 odd. The desperation- count on days, memory, internet/ ticket counter for the tatkal quota to begin .. Just 5 days before THE day. ( I used to reach ticket counter @ 5 AM to end up appending some unending queue with half stupor ). Internet put some end to this frustration .. Thx. But no thx. - Do I always make sure that I have connectivity? & what the heck that my parents got to with computers & internet!!
Solution?
Thanks to the little thing & the little software I e mobile & the mobile software ngpay. All I had to do - type https://ngpay.com in my mobile browser. ( can also SMS ngpay to 56767). Got it downloaded within 5-6 seconds and the magic wand was waved..( this software needs gprs*)
Its like entering a wormhole to be led to a giant world.. Found almost entire e-commerce in it - Travel, bill payment, top ups, movies um! It has banking as well..an aha factor for sure.. Should have had debit card processing..Nevertheless, it solved my problem - I bet on it for the sake of railway booking..
