Inter-State and Intra-State Public Transport Information: Fare & Timings - APSRTC

2011-02-04T09:20:00.012+05:30

Given below is the APSRTC Inter/Intra State Transport Information. The previous post was a software for intra-city buses (local public transport), but this provides information about all the buses that the Andhra Pradesh State Operates.

Hyderabad Bus/Public Transport Information System–Free Application: ABIS

2011-02-04T01:26:00.001+05:30

I know it’s been a very very long time since I wrote (my last post was back in Aug), but believe me I have been working like hell.

Well, I developed an interesting application today and I think it’ll turn out to be very useful to the people in Hyderabad or to those who are thinking of visiting Hyderabad (AND use the Public Transportation System).

I call this ABIS – APSRTC Bus Information System.

One problem a lot of us face when we visit a new place is finding the RIGHT BUS to take us to the RIGHT Place. There is no internet website/application that allows us to search through the available buses within a city. I visited the APSRTC (Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporation) website a week ago, and couldn’t find any searching page where I could find all the bus information. All I found was a Route Map of the City (with Bus No’s of course) and a very big image containing a chart of the routes. Opening the damn thing itself took quite sometime (and I don’t like to blame it on my broadband ). So I decided to make an application to solve this particular problem. I hunted around and found some info here and some info there. Aggregated all the assorted information and sat down to make what seemed to be a very dull and boring process of developing an application. And at the end of the day, it turned out to be pretty good. So good that I can distribute it as an application. As with the Gmailer application I’ve developed before, this application also requires JRE to run which you can get here or here. The advantage of using Java for developing an application is you can run the application in virutally every OS – Windows, Macintosh, Linux (All Distributions), Solaris, etc.

Download ABIS Here (Size: 216 KB)
Click here for ABIS (APSRTC Bus Information System) Project Page on Google and here for Source Forge Project Page.

Here is a screenshot of ABIS.

The first tab in the application contains all the buses in and around Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, India. The fields present in this tab are

Route/Bus No’s
From
To
Via (list of places the bus goes through)
Up Journey-First Bus
Up Journey-Last Bus
Down Journey-First Bus
Down Journey-Last Bus
Peak Hours Frequency
Slack Hours Frequency.

A search form is present above the table to search through the list. Two buttons ‘Clear’ – clears the above table, ‘Load All’ – Loads all the results are present to make things easier.

The second tab contains information about the Buses that operate in and around Hi-Tech City, the Tech Hub of Hyderabad (AP). The fields present in this are:

Depot
Service No
Type
Time of Departure
Route No.
From
To

Simple and to-the-point application. That’s it.
Just for Kicks, I’ve added a Look and Feel Menu which changes the overall look of the application: It includes the following styles:


Metal	Nimbus	CDE/Motif	Windows	Windows Classic

The source code will be mailed on request. Last time I put Source Code on the blog, people didn’t like it much. So this time, its ‘Ask and it shall be mailed’ process. I love Open Source and would always contribute to it. Love Hyderabad too (totally unrelated, I know).

I am currently working on another project with Swetha. I am sure that will be a huge one.

Have Fun .
Enjoy Life while you can .

P.S.: I hope you figured out the irony in the name – ABIS… supposed to relate to Abyss (bottomless pit).

And for people who are interested, here is a road map of Hyderabad with the Bus Routes and also a chart of the bus no’s from which I got the idea of developing this app.

Every Problem (even Impossible ones) Have a Solution - Small Story (Must Read)

2010-08-13T23:19:00.001+05:30

Many years ago in a small Indian village,

A farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.

The Moneylender , who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.

So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter.

He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.

1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag.

He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.

The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.

Well, here is what she did ....

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

Jaw-Dropping Belly-Dance by Sadie

2010-07-24T12:42:00.013+05:30

You have to see it to believe it. I watched this video(which a friend sent me) with a pre-conviction that all I was going to get is some Egyptian girl dancing some silly steps to Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie'. But what I got is something completely different.

Shakira has got some other talents, but when it comes to Belly Dancing, I don't think that she is anywhere near to Sadie. Just watch the first video for an idea of what I am talking about. If you liked Shakira (or even Mumaith Khan from South India), then you sure will adore this pro belly dancer.

I know this post is a little off-topic for ECEROCKS, but still, couldn't resist :D

Here is some background info on Sadie from her Bio:

Sadie

Sadie is an International performing artist, instructor and choreographer who is recognized worldwide as one of today's most exciting Belly Dance artists. First seen as a “Rising Star” on BD-TV Vol.II in 2004, Sadie now has dozens of instructional and performance DVDs available, has visited over 25 countires teaching and performing the art of Belly Dance and is one of the most watched bellydancers on youtube with over 10 million hits on just one video clip alone.

Sadie trained in gymnastics and swimming for 14 years as a child and adolescent. She began practicing Belly Dance in her late teens. As a student, Sadie studied with many reputable Middle Eastern dance and music teachers from around the world. Some of the most influential moments in her education include two extended trips to Turkey where she studied and observed the dance and learning to play the doombek (Middle Eastern hand drum) via master percussionist and musician Souhail Kaspar, which impressed a great understanding of the varied Middle Eastern rhythms as well as the relationship between the music and dance.

Have Fun :)

Apple’s Future Products - LOL

2010-07-18T20:43:00.001+05:30

What with the recent problems (the iPhone 4 Antenna) that Apple’s facing, watching this parody had me rolling on the floor laughing. Have a look at the last two, especially the last one is damn funny.

The Hindu Newspaper Collection: Archive from Jan 1st,2000-today

2010-07-08T23:50:00.001+05:30

I recently found myself very (I mean really very) much interested in reading the Editorial Section of the Hindu Newspaper (Opinion Section). So I tried searching for those pages in the Hindu page, but they only have ported some pages from the old site to the new site (although the new dates are also launched in the old site). I went to their archive page and found a form for searching through their archives.

I found that it was not sufficient for my needs, so I started modifying it and came up with my own version of the Archive Searching mechanism. And I ended up with the code you see below :). Instead of opening the Hindu page of the corresponding page in a new window, I put it up in a popup so that it is easy to maintain and light too.

I designed a blogger Gadget to boot, and added it to ECEROCKS.com. You can now see it the right column (the last one) in the site. Go on, give it a go.

I developed one extra feature of opening a particular date’s Opinion’s page directly along with the pre-existing feature of opening that dates newspaper (I know its lame and useless, but I use it like hell)

The Hindu archives is available from 1st January, 2000 till today on the Hindu’s legacy site at http://www.hindu.com and from 1st June, 2010 onwards in the new website. Please use the archiver given on the right to explore the Hindu’s archives.

LEGACY ARCHIVE (1ST JANUARY 2000 - Today)

This is how it looks

This is the Javascript to be included along with the HTML Code give below this.
The script below is very easy to understand as you can see. It just checks the values that are selected once a submit button is clicked, then validates over a few basic conditions, and generates a URL, that follows the hindu legacy site’s format.

GMailer: A Small yet Powerful Java App to send Email using GMail

2010-05-02T21:11:00.001+05:30

Here I am after a long break. I was a ‘LITTLE’ busy with my work at Conseco. And thanks to the trainers there, I was able to explore the unending complexities of Java. Mind the word - ‘explore’ not ‘learn’. I’m as ignorant of Java as I was before my training. And folks, I am back with a bang. I’ve been trying to develop an Anonymous Mailing Application for the last few weeks, but ended up with something completely different. GMAIL.
Thanks to Mr. Aleem Basha for introducing me to the Java mailing api.

Without further delay – let me present to you: GMAILER :
Download Gmailer HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE. Its only 513 KB
Double click the downloaded jar file to run it. Below is the screenshot. It runs on all OS’s (having jre installed) be it windows, linux, solaris, mac etc. Tested it on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Type in your Gmail ID and Password, Enter the mail id of your recipient, Attach a File and then click on ‘Send Mail’ to Send the mail to the specified Email Address.
There is no need to open a browser, login to Gmail, Click on Compose Mail to send a mail.
All you have to do is use this small (only 513 kb), yet powerful little tyke of an app to do your job. Your ID and Password are not stored anywhere – once you exit the application everything is cleared off.

I like sharing things. I like to give as much as I like to take from the Internet. So I am keeping the complete source code of this application here – OPEN SOURCE:

Took me some time to develop it, but I think it turned out just fine.

This application is useful for three kinds of people:
1. People who don’t know how to use Gmail
2. People who are too lazy to open the browser, login, compose, etc. from Gmail.
3. Students who are interested to learn Java (If anybody needs clarifications regarding the code, then please leave comments)

I would like to say much much more about this little app, but I know you’d be bored. So try it and let me know how you feel about it…

‘I’m Sorry’ Greeting Card: Innovative & Techy

That’s Called Real BEAUTY

2010-03-12T06:36:00.001+05:30

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

-William Shakespeare

A Hilarious Mail from a frustrated victim of chain mails

2010-03-06T21:41:00.000+05:30

A Hilarious Mail from a frustrated victim of chain mails

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain letters to me in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and continuing it in 2009 also.......

Because of your kindness:

* I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good for removing toilet stains.

* I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.

* Forwarded hundreds of mails but still waiting for FREE DESKTOP, LAPTOP, CAMERA, CELLPHONE etc…..

* I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause cancer...

* I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me.

* I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill with calls to Uganda, Pakistan, Singapore and Tokyo...

* I also stopped drinking anything out of a Can for fear that I will get sick from the rat faeces and urine.

* I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times.... (Poor girl! she's been 7 since 1993...)

* Still open to help somebody from Nigeria who wants to use my account to transfer his uncle's property of $ 100 million. So much trustworthy.
* I have forwarded 35 emails to 400 people hoping that Ericsson or Nokia will send me latest mobile phones but those models are also obsolete now.
* Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesh , Tirupathi Balaji pics etc. Now most of those 'Wishes' are already married (to someone else)

NOW IMPORTANT NOTE :

If you do not send this e-mail to at least 11,246 people in the next 10 seconds, a bird will Pee on your head today at 6:30pm.

Nothing has happened till now....................... but who knows. So please forward.

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.

He said, 'Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you.'

We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,

'While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,

You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.

He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,

you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'
By this time, I felt very small,

And now my tears began to fall..
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;

'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said.
'Are these the flowers you picked for me?'

He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.

I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'
I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;

I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'
He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.

I love you anyway.'
I said, 'Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'

FAMILY

Are you aware that if we died tomorrow,
the company that we are working for could easily replace us in

a matter of days.

But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?

So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

Men always have better friends....

2010-02-28T21:57:00.000+05:30

Men always have better friends....

They will stand by you, no matter what....!!!

Here's an example:-

Friends of Women:
A wife was not at home for a whole night. So she tells her husband the
very next morning, that she stayed at her (girl) friend's apartment
overnight. So the husband calls 10 of her best (girl) friends and none
