How to show recent posts on the main domain from a subdomain blog as well

Question

I got 2 separate installations of WordPress, one on the main site and other on the sub-domain. Is there a possibility of showing posts from sub-domain on the main site, along with the articles of the main site. Like, every alternate article displayed, be from the sub-domain irrespective of the date published.

I read this article, but wasn't able to achieve what I wanted: How to show recent post in the main domain from subdomain blog

Here are the functions.php, index.php and single.php files of the theme I'm using:

Functions.php http://pastebin.com/s3tfdnB2
Index.php http://pastebin.com/nxtMZzLq
Single.php http://pastebin.com/sgpfvtVe

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

But, please, don't include unnecessary code. See http://sscce.org . Anyway, this is too broad, there are multiple solutions. One is reading the RSS feed. — brasofilo, Oct 13 '13 at 16:09
@Paddyd which code do you want me to include? I added 3 php files in the questions, which are not edited yet. — Bhanu Ahluwalia, Oct 13 '13 at 18:32
@BhanuAhluwalia I mean include the relevant code in the question itself, rather than links to the code. — Paddyd, Oct 13 '13 at 18:47

How about access the database of the subdomain in your main domain and query the recent posts there.

$mydb = new wpdb('username','password','database','localhost');
$rows = $mydb->get_results("select recent posts");
echo "<ul>";
   foreach ($rows as $obj) :
      //display data here
   endforeach;
echo "</ul>";

NOTE: This isn't a perfect solution if you've enabled Wordpress network for your subdomain.
