BHIM UPI App - First time experience

I'm starting afresh with this post on BHIM UPI app recently launched by PM Modi.

I tried my hands on with this app.

If you haven't got it, download the app from here

Like anyother UPI app it provides you with a virtual address ending with @upi, usually prefixed by your mobile number. You can optionally add alphabetical characters also. So I reserved my own address rajarajan@upi

Since my mobile number is already registered with my bank it showed my bank account. Also I have an UPI pin already registered with my bank. If you don't have a MPIN, contact your branch or dial *99# from your registered mobile to get one.

I tried sending money to my other virtual addresses created with Empower(Canara Bank UPI app) and Axis Pay(Axis Bank UPI app), but it's not recognizing them. Right now it only supports vpa ending with @upi. I'm curious to tinker with this app. If anyone is interested try transacting with me at rajarajan@upi

I can foresee a great future for BHIM app and cashless transactions in India.

How to use JCalendar date picker in your Java Swing Applications with NetBeans

If you are one of those JAVA beginners like me who wants to implement a datepicker module in your experimental/business critical application developed with NetBeans IDE , then this for you. Let me share how I figured out to do so in simple steps with a sample code. Assuming that you have your Java Swing application ready, you will need to download the JCalendar package from here http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/index.html . The page lists out various modules available with descriptions like JDateChooser, JCalendar, JYearChooser, JMonthChooser, JDayChooser, JSpinField and JLocaleChooser. The one I chose for my app was JDateChooser. After downloading and opening the ZIP file, you can see a whole set of files in it. The one we need is in the folder ‘lib’ with the name jcalendar-1.4.jar (this is the latest version while I was writing this). extract that file to your folder of comfort. The jar file you just extracted contains everything you need to implement the date picker in y...

Honda CB Twister India : A Quick Review

I came across a dozen reviews of Honda CB Twister on web and finally decided to buy it. I owned it on last March, 2012. It costed around ₹63,000 with disc brakes, alloy wheels, road tax and stuffs. The reason why I have included ‘India’ in title is because Twister is also available as Honda CB110 in other countries. Here is my short account on my experience with Twister. Mileage Mileage is a very essential part of my riding experience. I travel around 200 Kms every week, so fuel expenses shouldn't make me bankrupt. Twister’s 60 – 65 KmpL mileage is one of the factors that influenced my choice while buying. Anyway in advertisements its claimed to be 70KmpL. Engine Nowadays its a increasing trend to see Indians going for high end bikes, but in my case I am good with medium performance engines. Twister’s 110CC engine makes riding smooth up to 55Kmph speed, beyond that Honda Twister turns in to a Honda Vibrator. Considering the fact that I’m not an adrenalized rider, ...

My LASIK Surgery experience with Vasan Eye Care

I work in Chennai and I thought of having an eye checkup in my hometown Kanchi. I have High Myopia with right eye : –4.75 and left eye : –8.0 . I wanted to know the feasibility of having Laser Treatment. I approached the Vasan Eye Care branch in Kanchipuram in April 2012. The hospital was well furnished and its a newly opened branch in Kanchipuram. The doctors and other medical staffs were caring as they portray in the advertisements. I had couple of tests performed on my eyes and then the ophthalmologist referred me to Saidapet branch of Vasan eye care, where they have other sophisticated devices to do further tests it seems. Everything was fine and the tests gave a go ahead for my LASIK surgery. Even the doctors in saidapet branch were caring, except for the bitter experience we had with the manager of the Saidapet branch. Initially we were informed in Kanchi that we can pay all medical fees including surgery fees at Kanchi branch itself and they will fix appointments in Saidapet....
