Once you open the site, you have to turn off the internet to continue using this website. It’s not rocket science or some complex algorithm that you are looking at. It’s basically a flash based site which cache’s all the website content in the initial download and then it plays from your browser. Any flash based site can do the same,even youtube videos when buffered completely play smoothly even after disconnecting the internet. But the best part of this site that is starts automatically whenever you go offline.

So, basically it’s checking the internet connection regularly and whenever you are connected to internet it displays a message that you are connected to the Internet and if you are not connected to the Internet then you can browse the site.

There are some cool facts/jokes about Rajinikanth on the site which you can browse,so go and enjoy.

Even the character limits of the comment section has bee lifted to 8000,so now you can put lengthy comments on your friend’s updates.

This character limit increase might just be the starting of the end of Notes Application as now users will write on their own wall rather than going to the Notes Application. Also, some personal bloggers will shift to Facebook permanently.

So, how will you use this new feature?

This might start the trend of Flash Mobs at different malls across India in the coming future.

The following measures have been taken by the Indian Railways:

• Access to ‘Tatkal’ booking to the agents booking through internet has been denied during the opening hours of reservation in the morning between 8 AM to 9 AM.
• Facility of change of name is not permissible on ‘Tatkal’ tickets.
• With a view to reduce the chances of misuse of e-ticketing facility by IRCTC agent, Indian Railways has decided to stop Quick Book Option and cash card booking between 8 AM to 9 AM. Further, individual users are permitted to book only two tickets between 8 AM to 9 AM.
• Strict refund rules to discourage fake bookings.

Hopefully, the blocking of tatkal booking of agents during the peak time will provide some relief to the IRCTC users. Also, 2 tickets per person is a good move as it will hopefully reduce some load on the server and will immensely help those guys who frequently travel by train.
So, all the best for Tatkal booking and have a safe journey.
