All are equal in the eyes of the Government

Hence, they have made sure that it takes as much time to book a railway ticket from here as it takes to actually go to a counter and buy one.

It took me close to 1 hour to book a ticket in that stupid website. I know there must be a lot of traffic, but how hard is it to increase a couple of more servers to handle it. Secondly, has anyone who booked the tickets online, had their money debitted from the account, but did not have a ticket delivered? IT has happened to me a lot of times. However, they do give you back your money once they have realized their mistake (about 3-4 days later). Meantime my money can be invested in the share market in some IPOs (kidding :) ). Also, what about the surcharge my bank levied on the transaction that never happened? Where do i report that loss.

I think I have to report it to someone in Railways...but as usual..the trouble is I donot know whom to report this to. Let me see...

Sold in 1968, this particular piece ended up with a collector swiss replica watches who apparently had a very clear vision of what this watch will be worth decades later. So he locked it away in a safe and replica watches sale kept it there with the original box and certificates. 43 years later, as if nothing had happened, this 3448 was offered for auction at Christie's, straight from the original owner. The watch was in incredibly fine and original swiss replica watches condition with a sharp and unaltered case, original and rare "PP" crown and an un-restored dial. Though the story of this 3448 did not end right there. As per the trends of the era, most iterations of replica watches this model were cased in 18k yellow gold, some were in white gold and only two were made in replica watches platinum. This piece, however, is in pink gold: a treat so rare that no archivist, auctioneer or collector knew of its existence until it was listed for auction.
