ARP date calculator - indian railways - irctc - train reservation

WTF is ARP?

Advanced Reservation Period...

Something indian railways use so that their reservation system knows what is the maximum future date a person can reserve his ticket for...

As of now its 60 days from the current date...

I have made a small jsfiddle page to help you track this...

Hope this enriches your indian railways journeying and ticket reservation experience...

Disclaimer: I and/or the above app to which I've linked to is in no way affiliated with indian railways. I am just a frustrated passenger like you...

a pic is now worth 140+ words...

Well, most people hate twitter for its crazy 140 word limit...

Actually there are many. It definitely not another service like tweetlonger or similar.

All you need is an image editing software which can write text on images. For best experience, start with a blank template, and just write some text on it using your favourite image editing tool. On windows, even MS Paint will do. I've found one for my android device.

Quoting this tweet as reference.

Happy browsing, tweeting...

Update:

Although you can post more than 140 characters in an image, you still are limited to an upper bound. I don't know what that is, but hopefully someone will discover that one day. As for an experience POV, people who are used to 140 characters might welcome this. However, if you hated twitter in the first place, I guess you can hate it a little relatively lesser now. I am not telling those folks to like the service, at least, like the fact, that I am writing this blog to let you know of such hidden features!

Meanwhile, here is an infographic which talks about sizes and dimensions for images that can be used on twitter:
