Sometimes people put tremendous effort, fight, sweat, even shed blood, almost move the earth. But in the end they realize………why?...for what??? Similar is true with money or any other material thing I guess….the more you earn, the more your needs are …,....no satisfaction.
so where lies the satisfaction .....some people say that it lies within ...books i have read say that it lies within..i am yet to find the answer.my hunt is still on........
somebody once asked me a question i could not answer.......Y are we born? whats our purpose in life? Are we here to go to school, get good education, go to college and earn degree, work and earn loads of money…..build houses for ourselves…. buy expensive clothes and shoes…..marry and have children…..and tell them to repeat the same cycle we have gone through.
I don’t know the answer…….My hunt is on………

Background is:
There is webportal in US which goes by the name of mapquest.com. This website gives you the driving directions. All you have to do is enter you starting and ending points and you get the directions. Now this portal mapquest.com ends just there. No other info is provided.

My idea is close but is much more comprehensive. Heres a brief description.

Say you want to go from EVS to F-block in CP. And you have no clue how to get there. And you don’t have a car or a bike.

I will ask the user to enter the starting point which is EVS in this case and the destination (F-block in CP). Now only after inputting this much, the user will get the route to his/her destination. This will give the normal route and the shortest possible route. In addition to this, we can also provide the nearest bus/auto/taxi stands, plus how much fare each mode of transport should take. This can also be coupled with the traffic info.


Now regarding the last point, we can provide the user with real time traffic info (on his cell fone) as well, as in which intersection is choked and which is free…..i hope you are getting the idea.

Since the internet connections at homes are growing at a very fast pace in India. This is the time to milk the cow named “Internet in India”.

We can provide million of other road related things…like if a person is traveling on a particular road by car or bike….then he can look for all the nearest petrol pumps etc.
This plan is about providing medical/health care to people abroad esp. US where medical cost is very high. What is there in my mind is having the list of all hospitals across India which provide excellent medical treatment. What are the charges …what are their respective speciality etc.
Now our service will provide the person sitting in Newyork, a "medical tourism plan", starting from receiving the person or family from the airport…..to his lodging in the hotel…..to arranging his date of treatment with the hospitals. This we can combine with some touring in India as well.
Now its upto us that how much can we expand this thing….i am sure theres lot that can be done
