Bangalore, fascinating place, nice
weather, beautiful girls, and lots of idli and dosa and my favorite
filter coffee. It’s been 6 month in Bangalore. A semester has come
to an end. Lots have been learnt, and a lot is yet to learn. This
line should not make an impression of me as a geek even though I love
geeksforgeeks.com
I am just a crawler in the land of fast runners at IIIT Bangalore.
Anyway why am I speaking all these? Let’s move.
Few days back I was telling to someone
about my hobby “blogging”. It was then I realized I have a blog
too even though it is less known. Ohh!! these assignments and
presentation have totally imprisoned me. Nevertheless here I am
again. There is one particular incident I’d like to share.
It was an fine afternoon and a pathetic
algorithms class has just been finished. One of my dear friend Nitin asked
"chal be chai pila....canteen wala nahin bahar wala"
Including the next 5 minutes we are on the way discussing random
stuffs from algorithms to networking, lecturers to college girls ,
Mr. Modi to Rahul Gandhi. Because our campus is too near to Infosys
Bangalore we could always find their employees roaming around and
that area is in strict surveillance by traffic police.
Two female employees were walking ahead
in particular girly fashion and discussing
"mera boss naaa......itna line
marta he mujhpe tu puch mat....kabhi kabhi lagta sale ka gala ghot
duun"
"abe... rating to achha de raha he
na tu kyun tension leti he paglii... chalne de jaisa chal raha he..."
We were just walking behind them
enjoying the conversation. Suddenly one of them threw a chocolate
wrapper on the road. It was so small that it also missed our view but
someone from the behind had got microscopic eyes.
"Hello Madam, yes yes you ...",
(snapping of the fingers).
We turned back to see who the hell was
shouting at those beautiful chicks. There was a traffic police,
middle aged, strongly built, long moustache, clean white and blue
dress holding a stick and pen and papers in hands. He snapped his
finger again and pointed it to the chocolate wrapper again.
The lady looked towards us, took a
whole look of the surrounding to check the level of insult she got.
Her face grew red, instead of guilt her face coastally reflected "how
dare you shout at me" expression. It was priceless. I bet it
would get 1000 likes if uploaded on facebook.
Crumpling all those insults under her
stomach she picked up that wrapper and put it in the dustbin nearby.
Nitin could not control his laugh. I helped the girl not allowing
Nitin to put salt on her burnt wound. "abe ruk na aur thoda
dekhne de..."
To distract him I asked "is there
some technology that may help India to become swachh bharat?"
Being geekier than me he replied while
sipping hot tea. By combining a host of technologies such as Internet
of Things (IoT), Vehicle Tracking System (VTS), RFID and other
sensing devices, it is possible to create an IT system for Solid
Waste Management, which is adoptable, sustainable and radically more
efficient.
i was like...."ohhhh is it....?"
He goes on “the actual problem is
Municipalities running Solid Waste Management in most Indian cities
employ trucks to collect garbage from large bins placed at various
locations across the city. This Door to Door collection is marred
with several problems such as: lack of control on truck’s
route/schedule compliance, garbage collection, garbage transport,
garbage dumping, dumping yard management
We can use
Vehicle Tracking Systems employing GPS
technology can monitor movement of garbage trucks across the city.
RFID: RFID technology can do handshake
between garbage truck and waste collection bins at the time of
collection. It can also do the handshake between truck and
garages/dumpling yards. Weight
Sensor: Weight Sensor mounted on waste
collection truck can monitor weight of garbage collected by the
truck.
Weighbridge: Garbage dump yard can employ weight bridge to measure the weight of truck before and after garbage collection trip. This can ensure additional check on garbage being collected and dumped.
Weighbridge: Garbage dump yard can employ weight bridge to measure the weight of truck before and after garbage collection trip. This can ensure additional check on garbage being collected and dumped.
IoT: Internet can be used to transmit
information from trucks and dumping yards to Central Control System
seamlessly. A host of technologies are available today including 4G,
3G.
I,after a patient hearing, baffled by the knowledge, asked how you know all these. He just a gave Mr perfectionist expression.

Lastly we completed the tea and
returned to the next lecture ,got busy in our day today activities
But that expression of the lady is still alive inside me.I don't know
if any of the technology he mentioned will work or not but certainly
I felt happy that people are changing. It felt great watching those
celebrities taking brooms in their hands but it should not be seen
only as a publicity grabbing stunt. Just like Modiji said we have to
make it a national movement and everyone has to play his parts. I
have taken my pledge will you??????
P.S.:- If you had expected a full
