IRCTC

Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has been selling air tickets at its website since May 6, 2010 as a white label arrangement with a backend content provider. However, now IRCTC has launched air ticketing website on its own since May 7, 2012. This initiative has been taken to improve customer satisfaction and provide a seamless passenger movement over various modes of transport. IRCTC has developed in house air ticketing module for booking tickets for domestic and international airlines through website irctc.co.in and railtourismindia.com.

IRCTC now has directly entered into agreement with the major airlines and the low cost carries in the country like Air India, Jet Airways, Kingfisher, Spicejet, Indigo and Go Air. Initially, the customer will be able to book tickets for these airlines for domestic travel and later the international airlines for international travel.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways, Shri Bharatsinh Solanki in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.

Review: "Lucky One" has Sparks, but no charm

LOS ANGELES - Nicholas Sparks is a brand name. He's the author of mawkish, bestselling romantic novels that Hollywood keeps turning into even worse mawkish, romantic films, several of which have scored at the box office.

The list includes "The Notebook," by far the best and most successful of the lot, as well as "Message in a Bottle," "Nights at Rodanthe," "A Walk to Remember," "Dear John" and "The Last Song."

The latest novel of his to arrive on the big screen is "The Lucky One." A slack and predictable love story, which takes place mostly in rural Louisiana, it is the filmic equivalent of trudging through syrupy sorghum.

Zach Efron, continuing his attempt to transition into grownup roles, plays Logan, who is a typically sensitive but hurting Sparks hero. An ex-Marine left feeling psychologically shaky after three tours of duty in Iraq, Logan is determined to track down the young blonde woman whose picture he found in the rubble, lost by another American soldier, after a deadly explosion in Iraq.

He manages to locate her-she's Beth (Taylor Schilling, of TV's "Mercy"), a divorced mom with a seven-year-old son (Riley Thomas Stewart)-but before he can tell her about the photo, she hires him to be a handyman at the dog kennel she runs in partnership with her grandmother (Blythe Danner).

These two preternaturally attractive folk fall for each other though Logan, of course, still hasn't told her about the picture. Meanwhile, her possessive ex-husband (J.R. Ferguson, of TV's "Mad Men"), a law man with a father who is a powerful local judge, keeps coming round and threatening to cause trouble.

Director Scott Hicks ("Shine") moves the story along in a deliberate, count-out-the-beats kind of way. It doesn't help that the film's characters are no more fully drawn or distinctive than those found in a generic made-for-TV movie.

Efron mostly plays a gentle nice guy here; if there are deep wells of post-war psychological torment and anguish to Logan, the actor barely communicates them. Schilling occasionally suggests that Beth might have a little steel in her but is called upon to spend most of the movie simply gazing at Efron either longingly or lustfully-sometimes both.

Teen girls and young women, the primary intended audience for this film, will doubtless find it moving. That's the great advantage to being young. Movies like "Lucky One" can seem original and heartfelt-it's manifestly neither-when you haven't already seen similar tripe way too many times.

Dennis Leary's Dick Clark tweets raise eyebrows

Dennis Leary's Dick Clark

LOS ANGELES - Everyone from Ryan Seacrest to the often acerbic Joan Rivers paid tribute to Dick Clark on Wednesday, but "Rescue Me" star Denis Leary decided to go another way.

"With Dick Clark dead, Casey Kasem now reveling in his status as last and reigning king of leather faced syrup voiced lizard people," the comedian Leary tweeted.

Leary's other Clark-related tweets included references to Tupac Shakur's hologram.

"I'm gonna package a Dick Clark Hologram mc'ing a Tupac Hologram summer tour," he tweeted, followed by, "I wanna see Hologram Tupac tour with Hologram Biggie and then both get shot by the actual Suge Knight."

Colton Dixon voted off of ''American Idol''

TV singing contest "American Idol"

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Colton Dixon, the young singer from Tennessee known for his flamboyant hairstyle, became the fifth person voted off top-rated TV singing contest "American Idol" on Thursday night.

"I wasn't myself last night," said Dixon, whose Wednesday performance of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" was roundly criticized by the show's judges. Dixon thanked them for their honest feedback, and assured them he would incorporate it into a future album.

Host Ryan Seacrest described the singer as "a class act" as he left the stage, and judge Jennifer Lopez shook her head when Dixon's dismissal was announced.

Though Lopez described Dixon's performance as "exciting," she questioned whether he chose the right song for his voice, and mentor Jimmy Iovine said he sounded "completely wrong."

Thursday was Dixon's first - and last - time in the show's bottom three, where he was accompanied by contestants Hollie Cavanagh and Elise Testone, both of whom had found themselves in danger of elimination in previous weeks.

Contestant Jessica Sanchez, who was saved by judges last week after audiences voted her off the show, received enough votes to stay out of the bottom three.

Thursday night's show featured a tribute to Dick Clark, who Seacrest cited as an inspiration and a boon to the music industry. Pop band LMFAO performed its dance hit "Sorry for Party Rockin,'" and "Idol" alum Kris Allen took the stage to sing his song "The Vision of Love."

Five contestants remain on "Idol," which is half of the original number of finalists.

"Idol", which first aired in on Fox in 2002, has launched the careers of singers Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, and Jennifer Husdon.

Now in its eleventh season, the show continues to be the most watched reality show in America, though it has received stiff competition from "The Voice" this year.

Audiences vote for their favorite performers by phone and text message each week as contestants are challenged by a variety of musical styles. The winning contestant receives a recording contract. This season's winner will be decided in May.
