Next time you want to book/search for a train ticket, just shoot a query to this BOT using the predefined keywords. Type ‘help’ and ‘commands’ to know the query format and some predefined keywords.
Below is a screenshot.
I wish Cleartrip comes out with something similar for flight bookings.
There are many other useful Gtalk Bots. I’ll be writing a post making a list of some useful ones, if you know of any, let me know by commenting.

thanks mr. deb kishore singh.. if not for your blogs, illiterate users like us would not even have known that there is something called gtalk bots..
@vishwas Glad to know you that illiterates like you found my blog posts helpful.
Btw it’s Devakishor and not “deb kishore”…!!!
Interesting … there were similar initiatives by yahoo for general search
wrt train reservations i find http://erail.in abs brilliant. simple yet full featured powerful interface
@Amit I must confess I haven’t been using any Yahoo’s product lately, I’m more biased towards ‘anything’ Google. And this certainly needs to change. I’ll check out some yahoo products about which I have been hearing about on Twitter.
And thanks for letting me know about http://erail.in
No Jabber “complaint” please! I guess you meant “compliant” :>
Btw, you can also do a “Bombay Delhi 3AC next week” for search.
@usha Yup, ‘compliant’ it is… corrected.
Thanks.

i came across a site which is much better than clear trip n indian railways site .. this one is the best of the lot http://www.bharatrail.net
