Anil: Both NSE and BSE have websites and they do provide quotes,I am not sure they are real time or delayed,most likely real time I am sure but not certain. Lemme know if you don't have their URLs. There is a stock market research provider called Capital Markets in Madras who I believe provide real time streaming quotes and company research for a fee,but you can get delayed quotes and other useful information on Indian companies for free,also they provide selected company reports you can get free,probably not indepth but income statements and opinions and all,very useful site.Let me know if you don't have the URL for that. Dutt: Besides brokerage service they also provide research,quotes,market news and a whole host of other information at their site.You can open an account I belive with with very a small amount as they told me they have waived the minimum requirement but normal NRI accounts are opened with any wehre from $5000.00 and up but if one wants to test the waters with smaller amount I think this is possible,but not too small an amount I suppose,perhaps a lakh or something should do the trick. I see great opportunities there particularly in Infotech,Pharmaceuticals,Conglomorates and many others.

On why I could, seriously, chuck it all and go live in a Kerala village Anil: Here is Srinivasan's gripes about big city life and how he would prefer to live in a small village somewhere in Kerala. Would you do it? I think I will in a New York minute.<g> ==================== Commentary/ Rajeev Srinivasan On why I could, seriously, chuck it all and go live in a Kerala village My friend Varsha Bhosle is upset that I maligned her adored Mumbai in passing. Well, I once complained to Ms Bhosle that her article on San Francisco on Rediff was not adulatory enough: She didn't rant and rave quite as much as I wished about how wonderful it was. Turnabout is fair play. I am sorry I have hurt Ms Bhosle's amour-propre, but I really do despise most very large cities. I am disgusted not only by New York and Mumbai, but also by Los Angeles, Jakarta and Hong Kong; and mildly annoyed by Mexico City, Paris, Bangkok and London; although I rather like Tokyo and Singapore, and certainly Calcutta. It is in the nature of big cities to be intimidating and uncaring and difficult. In my humble opinion, their citizens's attitudes makes all the difference. It is hardly the moral equivalent of racism, which Ms Bhosle implies it is, to notice that cities breed certain characteristics in their residents. Isolated single incidents of kindness, or even of saintliness, merely provide the exceptions that prove the rule. I am glad that Ms Bhosle's New York benefactor did not attack her, but merely did her a kindness. Surely one swallow does not a summer make? On the other hand, there was the celebrated 1964 case of Kitty Genovese, raped and then stabbed to death, screaming, begging for her life, in full view of 38 people, in the courtyard of her Queens apartment block. Not one person intervened, because they did not want to get involved! They simply watched, as though it were television. Where was the New Yorker's sense of decency then? ....(continued) rediff.com ================= Oh here is my reply to Srinivasan ----- Original Message ----- From: Mohan Marette To: news@www.rediff.co.in Sent: Monday, March 29, 1999 11:16 AM Subject: On why I could, seriously, chuck it all and go live in a Kerala village Come on Srinivasan who do you kiddin' ,they all say that and you seem to be no exception.You heard about the now famous equation floating around among the NRI crowd called 'X+1' theory haven't you?
