Some MP wallahs also Indore wallahs (sweet, innocent and blissfully ignorant folks) have the least foggiest idea of what is a PIN code. They have the habit of writing their address with directions like "next to ABC shop" or " opposite such and such industry"... UGH! It reminds me of a movie joke in which a drunk gives directions to his house with a reference to his friends house without describing any other landmark or road. An exasperated fellow finally asks where are the two with the response, "aamne saamne" (in Hindi, `opposite to each other`).
Whats this to do with Computer Science? Well 99% of computing is about search and retrieval. Also searching is best served by indexing. So how can we find out the PIN code of a post office in India? Thankfully the Department of Posts government of India has come out with a tool that is accessible with this link. You should try it, I found it works quite well.
What is quite interesting is that there are a lot of Google maps links to educational institutions and residences in Indore. Well that is another story for another day....
