[nukkad] overseas courier & other queries

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beware of Amway desis
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could someone suggest which are the most cost-effective and
fastest couriers for sending anything overseas.

I enquired one such agency which said that it takes about
1400/= Rs for 1/2 kg minimum charges for Europe and rs 350
per additional 1/2 kg. These are air courier with expected
delivery time is four days.

That is a whooping high figure. Any thing less costly?

Are there sea couriers and are they cheaper, though they
must be taking a little more time.

----------------------

Also, in line with the recent spate of reduction in phone
charges, which is the cheapest phone line for ISD, and are
there cheaper time like bsnl night charges?

Is net-telephony cheaper than phone telephony? How much? How
to locate cafe which offer net-telephony.

-------------
I need a list of films that (and there music) have been
released in last few (3 to 5) years. Is there any site which
has such details?

An 100%% exhaustive list be better, but if not available
even a smaller list will be better.

Saw Kaa.NTe the movie today.

I am unable to understand why this movie was made. Would
anyone like to venture a guess of this why? What is the
purpose, message of this movie.

It is said that entire movie is shot is Los Angeles. I don't
know when entire movie in shot indoors, what was the fun in
doing it there. Govt should make some rule to avoid such
wastage of foreign currency and 
such false publicity.

-------------

Currently there is a glut of sites which take some initial
fee to the tune of Rs 16000/= and then you need to visit at
some of the sites to clock the net-hours and you get paid
(expectedly) to the tune of Rs 8000/= per month. Then you
can sell further such registration (in line of network
marketing) and you get paid Rs 6000 per member.

Could anyone analyse such proposals and post a review. Some
are emanthan.com netkhazana.com dreammaerchants.com and many
more.

What I understand is that they claim they have some contract
with net agencies which them to see their ads on net.

I am unable to understand how such visitors are going to
help the ads of any agency? And in any case, if these
agencies are getting paid for people seeing the adds, why do
they charge such high initial fee. They should rather offer
such membership for free so they get more people to visit
them.

some had condition that user has to have his home pc and
phone connection. Some said that one can work in cyber cafe.
Some had promised that their will be offerring packets which
can be downloaded and worked off-line.
