An ' all in one ' flight booker

A ' travel solutions company ' has just started its online booking service on the web for passenger flights of all carriers, so says this site.

The site flightraja.com says it will help you find the cheapest fares. It has about 8 carriers in its list starting from Air Deccan to Paramount Airways. It has some international holiday packages as well.

Dont know, could be the first to have all carriers in its list although I saw one more carrier by the name of Indigo on the net which is not available at this site.

But there is a difference in that it offers booking through SMS, Kiosks and travel agents also.

Of course there are other travel agents as well by the dozen and you could visit a travel agent who books all these flights, physically in person. Whichever suits you best.

Dream service !

How often did you wonder about the bus route number you have to take to go to your destination? Do you want to know which is the latest movie in town ? How about information on departure time of trains and aircraft or telephone numbers of cab services ? etc, etc. A new service has been started in Bangalore by a company called Bangalore Dreamz. What is outstanding about this service is that you just have to make a call to 4016 4016 and hang up. They will call you back as soon as an operator is free. So you dont have to spend a dime ! That is simply great and it is bound to become a hit with the Bangalore people.

I only wish they will follow up the information service with some delivery service as well. Currently if you want a movie ticket to be delivered to your home it is not possible. They do respond promptly but there was a perceptible delay on the first day of the service between morning & evening. The response in the morning was swift. But by evening, the waiting time had come to nearly 12 minutes. Understandable since they will be receiving a number of calls. So if you are going to try the service be prepared to wait !

But I did get the information I wanted.

Tech gadgets

Long time no see ? Sorry was a bit busy. Interested in purchasing a music system or a mobile phone or a digi camera ? Sure , you can go to the respective showrooms but there is an other place where you can get cheap electronic goods. That is the famous Burma bazaar, National market or Hongkong bazaar. You dont get any guarantees there for the product but sometimes you do get some okay goods. The risk is entirely yours if you buy there. That is not to say that you dont get a good product here and there.
