He booked a ticket from chennai to trichy when he wanted the other way :) I agree but if we really care, we can bring down such mistakes drastically with better design. I think too many people are goofing up too often.... manikandan,

He realized this only a day before and had to make alternate arrangements. These kinds of things happen. Even if irctc prints this, people would find ingenious methods to forget things.. :). Nice post and a nice title. One of my friends had booked a ticket from secunderabad to madras on a sunday evening(to return from madras) instead of booking a ticket the other way around.

One website I can think of immediately is Expedia. They were little smarter in printing the tickets. They provided source and destination in your local timings and in foreign country local timings, especially mentioning the time in an useful way -- Sat night or Sun early morning etc. Yeah, its high time that websites start printing stuff more intelligently and usefully.
