Inspiration and motivation

Filed under: Travel — Ankur Aggarwal @ 1:16 pm

Today I watched the remake of the movie Don. Shahrukh Khan who claimed that he did not even knew how to ride a bicycle learned how to ride a car….. all in the middle of a police chase…. his motivation… the gorgeous Priyanka Chopra who was sitting next to him all along.

Sounds filmy… so did I thought, but then I looked at myself…. this weekend I not only learned how to ride a bike… that too after a brief 15 minutes flat tutorial from a reluctant friend….. And I learned it wonderfully enough to drive it over the hill slopes, highways of goa and even to places where there were no roads carrying a pillion who had no insurance…

my motivation?
Well I had 2…. first the wonderful bike ‘Natasha’…. and second my beautiful friend.
bike
Who says real life cannot be filmy ;)

Online Travel bookings

Filed under: Links, Travel — Ankur Aggarwal @ 11:15 am

I tried to make a list of options avaliable
1) indiflight A nice tool which allows you to find cheepest flight to multiple destinations, on multipe days and using break journeys.
2) makemytrip Huge publicity, but it charges extra for credit card bookings.
3) rediff good plotting tools, fast site.
4) flightraja fast flight, with a persoanl touch. The agents actually call you to confirm the bookings

Then to book international travel tickets:
Stic travels is specially useful. They get the best discounts, yet ensure hassle free luxurious travel.

Bus tickets use redbus. It has a very fast query engine. However its services are limited to Chennai / Bangalore originating routes and does not support KSRTC/government operators.

For train travel, I guess one has not much choice but to go for irctc. Even though it is the only govt body in my list, the service is good. Tickets get delivered in time. However the user interface needs lots of upgradation.
