fingers for it, it is a smooth ride :-) .

KSRTC vs SETC booking concessions :-)

It is diwali time and whole India would be returning to home :-) There would be lot of buses in pipeline to meet the demands for the chennai-bangalore commuters. No wonder, the cost of the private bus tickets would be rocketing up like a diwali rocket !

Ok, Lemme come to the SETC vs KSRTC review. It is about the concessions provided for the customers. I browsed through their website and found some interesting stuff about travel concessions that many would not be aware .

KSRTC :-
Group Booking discount
Return Journey discount
Free travel in City Services
Monthly passes
Weekly Freedom tickets
Daily ticket
Suvarna Karnataka tickets
Reference -> http://ksrtc.in/Concession1.html , http://ksrtc.in/Pass2.html

SETC:-
Concessional Annual Ticket Scheme
Weekly Travel Card Scheme
Travel Regularly and earn an addiitional (free) trip scheme
Monthly Season Tickets
Travel as you Please Tickets
- Daily - Weekly - Monthly
Reference -> http://www.tn.gov.in/citizen/trans-e-2005.htm

I find that SETC provides more beneficial concessions compared to KSRTC and is very very attractive. SETC schemes are targeted at the real possible scenarios.

While browsing these websites, i find that SETC website needs improvement on various fronts like Design and Speed . The SETC Online booking facitlity is still not up.

The competition is going tougher and tougher between these two bus services, but it is a healthy competition as there is tremendous improvement in the customer services from both of these bus services. It is good to see such healthy competition !

A room full of Diamond Vanishes

Hey, today i returned earlier. While flipping through the channels, i stopped in Star Movies to watch an English Movie. I will give you a clue for you to guess the movie in the form of a small movie review :-) All the Best !

This movie is full of mixed emotions & ambitions. It revolves around an unmarried lady living just for her career , but never got promoted & an old guy who lost his wife to cancer 15 years back. Both are working for the worlds largest diamond company in London . The lady is angry with the company as she has been denied promotions many times. The old guy is angry with the life insurance company that delayed money transfer with lot of clauses which inturn had been the main reason for his wife's defeat to cancer. Both join together to take revenge against their enemies. The interesting point is the link between the diamond company and the insurance company. Old guy's tactic to make the insurance company pay a huge amount to the diamond company is very thoughtful . The funny part is that the lady never thought that the entire room would be empty and company would be losing almost its entire business such that her job would be at stake.

Were you able to guess it ? Yes, it is 'FLAWLESS'. The movie is fantastic and deserves credit for demonstrating various scenarios that has to be taken care in this modern world - the various wrong things that a person will do while he/she is angry over somone, the problems that can occur if someone loses a loved ones due to unwanted reasons, problems that can occur due to an unsatisfied employee and problems that can occur if one is always behind money. This movie is told as a flashback just like 'Godzilla'.

Analyzing middle game chess

I came across http://www.chesslab.com/PositionSearch.html . It is simply fantastic for analyzing a position in chess. We just need to feed it with the position that we desire to analyze and it does a good analysis.

Computer analysis is not suggested for beginners as they have to think hard instead of depending on computer for analysis. Once you are well built in chess, you can try computer based analysis.

Fully Qualified Domain Name

I came across the term FQDN. It is also called as the absolute domain name.

Given a device with a local hostname 'myhost' and a parent domain name 'example.com', the fully qualified domain name is written like this:
myhost.example.com
The FQDN therefore uniquely identifies the device, while there may be many hosts in the world called myhost, there can only be one myhost.example.com.

DNS Server and DNS Resolver

DNS Server is looked into for resolving the DNS and the IP address and to forward the message to the particular DNS. In short, the DNS server acts as a database having the IP address and the Domain Names.

DNS client side is called as DNS resolver that is responsible for initating and sequencing the query so that the Domain Name gets mapped with the corresponding IP address. A DNS query may be either a non-recursive query or a recursive query.
