Hi Vivek, and welcome to the forums.

(There is someone at work with this name. Is it common? He was the first Vivek I had ever met before just now.)

"I do come by bus" is emphatic. You would use it, for example, if someone says to you "You don't come by bus, do you?" Response: "In fact, I do come by bus." But for a simple declarative sentence, then you would just say "I come by bus."

Almost correct: 9 o'clock sharp. That means exactly 9. Another idiom for this is "on the dot."

Is it right to use "I will be there by sharp 9 'o clock"?

People use to construct words like "CellOne, CDMAOne, BangaloreOne" etc. What does it actually mean when you suffix "-One"?

I will be there by 9 'o clock sharp. (Correct. No other arrangement.)

That you're presumptious, by asserting that you're Number 1 in that area. Advertising tactics.

I'm sorry, I've never heard this, so I can't give you an answer.
