Indian E Commerce experience

You always hear that India is developing fast and mostly in IT sector. You read it,mostly see it and hear it a lot.

You hear that some xyz company from US has office in India, which seems to be great , we come to think hey then its not all lies, we are actually living in current world, with so big companies coming here and making use of resources India has to offer, we must really be doing good in IT

and on INTERNET. Of Course India's presence on INTERNET in growing. If you browse around INTERNET you can see that on many websites which are open to comments

there is at least one Indian name commenting on it. If the news hurts the Indian core, you see it goes in flames. Well surely we are using Internet as very increasing rate it seems.

But there are many areas India is lacking, in some areas, where country like US, UK even Sweden has imprinted on web, India seems unable to reach there. Why I don't know.

A simple thing I was about to give a gift to friend in India, A cell phone, so I was looking for good website to shop from US and seller can send to local address in India. However this experience left me haywire. For the one reason that except for Ebay.in I could not find variety of products, I tried Indiatimes.com and Rediff.com but all they have is third party seller, whose information is not correctly displayed and variety is SO limited.

At last a I found a seller on ebay.in which sells cell phones at reasonable price and had what I needed. but I just wanted to pay by PAYPAL, since this is best method to use for shopping for ebay, I asked seller if I can pay in USD, he said if you want to pay by PAYPAL u have to pay Rupees 1000 extra, what THE HELL was that?????

as compared to my shopping experience here in USA is much smoother, Last time a bought a unlocked cell phone off INTERNET, I literally tried thousand websites, scored through INTERNET and found my self a deal, and I paid what said on price tag on website. not a single dime extra.



It seems that Indian population is just being a user of INTERNET. Cause with the rate India's IT sector has grown, One expects more e commerce and SIMPLIFIED e commerce. Government is also not into developing a active interest in using INTERNET, they have just started a CYBER CRIME branch of police, which I am sure sits on theirs asses all day, cause I have seen lot of Indian websites being hacked by Pakis, and no body had done anything at all.



Dot even start on ISP's in India, a line of 256 KBPS is considered as BROAD BRAND. I have not seen a single ISP who's is without a complaint of slow speed on many Indian ISP rating websites. BSNL though government undertaking seems to be doing fine it seems than others. When we gonna have a 4 mpbs home line, which actually gives speed up to at least 1 Mbps??? when will WI-FI take off in India?? when Internet cafes going to stop using a single dial-up connection for 6 PC's at a time.



since our government has no active interest in digital technology. There is no digital millennium copyright act or something similar, which means MPAA and RIAA cant sue Indian public in their country. Neither does having a torrent server or a public repository of s/w. movies.mp3's is illegal in India. Which by the way someone should totally do, since they are safe , It gives you money LIKE anything.... ask the pirate bay guys. ( hmmm good idea).



Now I have to one thing get a real good phone from here in US and send it to India with some one, Cause

1. for $ 100 I get lot more options in cell phone than in India, such as a MP camera and a mp3 player.

2. I don't have to drive somewhere and get it.

3. As I said, I would have wide choice of brands and designs and accessories which comes cheap here .



well surfing time starts......



dates April 9 2009, I have seen a group of Indian hackers named ICW kicking Pakistanis websites, about 150+ paki web sites been hacked by them in reply to pakis hacking of ONGC and warangal police 's web sites. AWESOME WORK 41.warrior and SAMEER!

dream date

So I take a flight and come to India, get to your home and I turn up with a bouquet of tulips arranged in lovely manner you can imagine. With small white flowers between them.



You have no idea that I am coming. It’s about 4 o clock and I knock on your door, you being sleepy, wakes up after few knocks.

Being in sleep you open the door, and I have flowers in front of my face. As you open the door you see bunch of flowers, with their fragrance quite strong you feel awesome, and you Get excited and snatch away those flowers from my hand,

As soon as you do it, you see me and you scream yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy,

You hug me with those flowers; you are so happy that your smile goes from across one ear to another.

I tell you we are going out, so you should get prepared, you do that, and we are off,



To start first we first start with a bike. A powerful hybusa 1200 CC bike, a wild one with fire on it,

Bike starts wroooooooooooooooooooom, wroooooooooooooooooooom,

And off we go, fast as we can



The wind is gushing so fast on our faces that your hair starts flying; tears come out of eyes and touch your cheeks. We are feeling it so much that we can’t even listen ourselves talking, so we stop talking and enjoy the ride. We roam in city with other bikes and cars chasing us and we keep beating them every single time, swooping across the ocean of people, vehicles, not even stopping for red light, nothing is stopping it.



Then we turn to this a beautiful boulevard with maple trees and golden leaves on them, with long road, we slow down just to enjoy the sun and little cold air as like in morning. Touching us.

The falling red leaves keep floating around, and gently touching ground, a soft wing blowing them on us, the same wind taking them away.



The trees on both sides then are suddenly invisible, we come to road where we can see lush mountains surrounding us and a black road going through them, a breeze in between with shinning sun says pass by just saying hello in our ears.

The road continues through mountains now it’s a zigzag, so bike speed up and with each turn we see the small rock on road, passing with small distance from our face.

Road goes up the hill. And suddenly we see a lake.
SO beautiful lake, water is so serene, we sat beside it and throw a rock in water, sending ripple after ripples towards us.


As we walk by and cross the lake we see a tree right between middle of meadow, a white cloud is over the tree, feels like cloud is giving shadow to tree. We sit under tree, looking at horizon.

There is no sound; just us sitting together, hand in hand, hours pass.



My head is on your lap and your hand going through my hair.

As I look up I see your face, glowing with your smile and so angelic. Those green eyes looking at me.

Your long hairs fill my face, surrounding it, smelling like fresh air. Our lips touch each other gently, like teasing each other, getting taste of others lips.Oh your lips are so tender and sweet.

We sit there a long time, talking about incidents, oh funny thing happened to me when I was cooking, about each other, telling why we like each other. But the talk is ancillary just giving us a reason to look at each other more.

I look at those enchanting green eyes, and keep looking you ask me “Hey what you looking in my eyes?”

I say “Looking I can see myself in there”. You take my hand and keep it on your heart saying “You can’t see it, because you’re deep down here and these eyes are just to look at you”

Finally night arrives; universe is looking at us with its thousand shiny eyes. It’s like a small boy has used glitters and spread it across black board.


White light of moon is reflecting from your face making it look even more angel like. “How come you don’t have wings to fly?” “Cause if I fly you will be left alone” and she slowly kisses me on cheeks,

We are staring at those stars, our cheeks rubbing each other and hand tied together. We start dancing slowly, my hands around your waist, yours on my shoulder.

“I never want to end this” “Me too”.

Answer to love part 1

I am thinking
deep down sinking
my eyes are blinking
I have pain in my heart
like a pierced a dart
Burdon is so heavy
like pulling a cart
Life is so unfair
i am going nowhere,
fighting for my girl,
thiking its really worth
The last thing i thought
my girl lied me lot
it killed inside my heart
the changes in her sight
Now i gave up the fight
which was really tight
i lost my own respect
now i am very straight
The ball is in her court,
Let her ride the boat
Make her really cry
scraming out her throat
Let her feel the grave
when she will have to crave
Fighting for our Love
some pain she will be served
I pray things would be fine
When she will be mine
I am waiting for the day
When " LOVE YOU " she will say...

By Born to Lead. My frnd.

love part 1

Solitude is worst thing some day. I been living in it for 24 years now,


Everyone is loved by someone.Parents love their child, and so on. but at a time one feel urge to be loved by some one real close, some say your parents love i enough but for me they have reverence, their love is like has to be there..


I am talking about love by another person so much that it makes you proud that you have got some one who loves you without a reason. a true love, Its hard to find, specially where I was born and brought up cause of some STUPID ideas from my culture.



Trying it out where i live now its simple to find a person and have a talk to her, judge her for if she is the one or not, but the first step of getting her EVEN talking to her gonna take courage.


Have to try it, cause "One small step for me can be one giant leap for myself".

Perspectives

Hmmm, my first ever blog, read number of them till yet, in English, in Marathi.
thought i would join the fleet too.
but problem arises right here, its easy to think but writing down these same thoughts is not that easy specially when these thoughts come hit you with lightning speed.I thought of one topic like half hour ago to write, now that i am writing this....
any way, today day was boring, every morning i wake up, if there is nothing to do much i get bored that time, The days are too long in summer in Texas. The school is only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, So what to do? arises as big question.

Its now 11 months since i started living in USA. Living with friends all the time is fun, we have all these parties all time, you can do whatever you want to whenever you want to. After some time everyone seems to realise that you cant fun all time. Life has to go serious way, even after that everybody starts missing their home, parents, friends. and believe me if you have nothing to do in a day you miss it like crazy.
We do outings in near by city or in clubs,bars, everyone is sticking to each other, no one dare to go upfront and talk to girl next to our table, Me too, i don't know what keeps us that way. but being rebellious I am gonna do it next time.Believe me in all these months i have made 3 American friends that's it, its time to get out of shell and have a social life.

Keeping involved in studies do help to forget all memories and live in study, that happens sometime( a few actually;) ) .
The next best thing to do Time Pass is Internet, watching deals, looking for movies, reading news paper from India... takes heap of time off, then I feel need of doing some thing creative reading those blogs on http://www.marathiblogs.net/ and blogger.com, today only i started.

Talking to friends in US and India, Family soothes a bit for time being but it also marks fact that we are away from them....
Now that we will be flying home in few days shopping has started, its going to be time spender for us, Now days we are living in that dream when we come back to India
oh everyone has made plans. everyone going for trip with friends.I am gonna meet all my family also going to ride BIKE in that rainy season no matter what, I miss it bad.

Going to meet samya- asking what he is going to do with his hanging problem of GF? gonna have real serious talk about plans of marriage between nitya and swats, make pargya fall for any gal and have fun with him, meet sunny and see his new play. Have a date with bhakti.
and most amazing part is meet my brand NEW niece, my sisters baby. Boy I so gonna love her, I always like girl children.... she is going to be about 9 months when I see her for first time. she gonna love her uncle.

aaahhhhhhhh dreams, drifted me away.....
just waiting to get these bored days over 35 days to go, got to hold on.
