GET YOUR RAILWAY TICKETS BOOKED FROM ANYWHERE

I think most of the people planning to travel in INDIA might want to travel in train at least once.If you want to travel by train try to plan it early cause the tickets may get over soon.The booking of tickets starts 60 days before the departure date of the respective train.
You can get your tickets booked using irctc.co.in for that first you need to sign up for their account.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS(NOT FOR INDIAN RESIDENTS) :
1.Fill in the mobile number without the country code in the form.
2.Mail the scanned copy of your passport along with irctc user ID that will be filled by you in the form to care@irctc.co.in
NOTE : The scanned copy should be sent as an attachment and must not exceed 1 MB in size.
3.Then a verification code will be given to your registered mail id use it to activate your irctc account .
NOTE : IRCTC accepts only American Express cards for ticket bookings.
If you have any queries you can mail me at ramsinghaniprateek@gmail.com.

TRAVEL EASY AND CHEAP

This is a blog where you can find cheap and easy ways for transport within a city.I would start off with Jaipur  as it is my hometown.
http://www.jaipurbus.com/ this is a govt. website on Jaipur City Transport Service. This website gives information on routes,stops and fare charts.
This is a route map of buses.

http://www.jaipurbus.com/images/route_map_new/big/map2.jpg
Different colors show different routes . The stripe color on the bus is same as that of the route color.
Say a bus with green stripe will follow the green route marked in the map.
The dots show the bus stops.
