By the way guys, I have not yet spoken with Dinesh about this silly thought of mine but please if you have any ideas, let me hear them.
I'm going to take both my laptop and mobile phone with me, of course. Ever heard of a geek travelling without these? I've checked Vodafone India website and it seems I can buy a prepaid mobile SIM card there and use it in my 3G USB stick modem. If I take an external webcam with me, too, would the mobile broadband (seems to be there about 1Mbps) be enough to send live video over the net? If so, are there any good sites to be used to broadcast?

i had a similar thought today about sending live feeds to seven forums from the wedding kari , a bit like a street cam kind of thing ,great minds thinkl alike kari. hope you can make it happen
Hi Kari, you have some misconception here. First of all, you won't get just a prepay sim card from vodafone for your 3G modem. They do not have such option. But I'd say not to bring your 3G modem. My MTS modem works with speeds upto 3 MBPS but you will always get around 1.5MBPS - 2 MBPS anytime so you can use that modem as I wont be able to use the internet at all during that time.
The Live Streaming idea is great. Qik | Record and share video live from your mobile phone lets you share live video recording from your phone but we dont have a great internet speed on mobiles in India.
We have to have a long chat about this later. I'm starting to look different options. It's a shame if we can not just buy a prepaid there, I remember from my own experience how expensive roaming can be there.

Sorry to post a new post just after my own post, but this love story is too beautiful not to share: How I met her? « Wedding blog of Dinesh & Kavita
Dinesh posted it a few hours ago, about how he met Kavita. I suddenly had sweat or some other liquid in my eyes while reading it (no, I was not crying. Men don't cry ).

I'm glad Dinesh wasn't shy around women or anything like that.
We would still be waiting on them to meet!!!!
Great story. I read it right after you posted.

OK, it worked today. I guess the Paypal account had to have time to be set up? Aish Karo! Dinesh and Kavita
