walking everywhere, the smells of urnine, rotting waste by the pavements cookYes could not agree more....lived all over the world, born and raised in India, and our standards are even worse than when I was young. At least we could wear saris, oh back then...now you would have slime of spit, paan, snot and every other output from orifices at the bottom. Taxi drivers lean out and spit, policemen spit, well-dressed spit, garbage is dropped without so much as a thought, as something is opened, peeled etc, outs, where as a walker there is constant danger from cooking oil, hot tea, milk and having to step out onto the road, as pavements are often impossible to navigate because of these now institutions of cook outs, vendors run the risk of death from cars with homicidal drivers. None of this is an exaggeration. I grew up and loved India. Now...I am beginning to wonder, where have I been that is worse...cannot think of one, that considers itself to be the great democracy, cool, hot hip! Ha!!

Google said it will showcase how the Internet can make everyday life simple through services like search, email, social networking, maps and others. One more thing Google knows then also they not understanding that terrorist take more benefit of google earth or wikimapia website to track the buildings, roads, etc. to make their plan success.

Hi !!! Its a great concept to inform and educate people about the power of the internet. I welcome it whole heartedly and congratulate you guys for this great endeavour.

Good Initiative by Google and hope it doesn't restrict itself and doesn't considers one part of India as whole of India.
