All my keys are belong to the ghorement.

Indian Railways' entry for thedailywtf: I am not permitted to press even the famous "any" key.

Exhibit two: trying irctc login. Well. What was the point of https, saar?

Exhibit three: okay, you manage to log in. It's night curfew in irctc.co.in.

All I wanted was to check a train time and route. The site will drop connection everytime I try to do just about anything. Eventually it's 11:30pm, and you know decent citizens do not use the web after 11:30pm.

But who on earth designs all this consistently hideous stuff? Even if you are willing to forsake form over function, what about function?

Then there's this State Bank of India account I've been trying to use for a while. The private sector bank accounts I have generally works, but, you know, they're ever willing to take away all your money the moment you slack a bit. Fines, penalties, usage charges, interests, special offers based on your card "performance," what not.

I just don't know which side to take.

Oh man, don't get me started on irctc. I am currently awaiting a refund of around 3K after an epic half-day campaign of repeated attempts culminated in the site dying horribly on me *after* happily accepting payment. Twice.

Oh, and don't be too optimistic if you are not using Internet Explorer(that's a program used to see websites and stuff, not pretty, but sort of necessary sometimes, like going to the dentist's).

Try their mobile application if you have GPRS on your mobile connection. I've heard ecstatic claims of it working. People dancing in the streets, booze flowing like water, stuff like that. Check it out(the link escapes me at the moment, but it can't be very well concealed, use the Google), and yeah, ymmv.
