For past 3 days I have been missing my family back in India. There have been weddings, thread ceremonies one after another. I am blessed with a wonderful BIG family. I was wishing that with advanced technologies, what if I could be a part of ceremony at-least virtually.

With things like Wi-Fi (Something like mobile broadband) and high broadband speeds one should be able to transfer even videos. A live update of events. Video conference facility is given by many providers, but it s like Rs.25000 for an hour. Web-cams are good enough, but in my case, the festival is happening in one of Trichy's small towns, where internet is still not that ubiquitous.

One day what I am saying would be a reality. We ll all miss our home towns or our families less.

    The technology is already there - one of my friends did a webcast of their wedding ( vrjustmarried.com I think). When is it going to reach everyone and be available broader - time has to answer. But don't you think, watching it happening in the cyber world, would rather make u miss being there even more ??

    It would indeed be a great pleasure, ML..That would definitely help handling the missing part. If we talk to anybody regularly, that relaxes the situation and we don't feel missing them badly. The other technologies will be even more soothing, for sure.

    I will find out and let you know ML. Definitely expect it to be expensive, considering how commercial every function is getting with each day. I think there are contacts available on the net too. The site is called vrjustmarried.com. Will let u know once i find out.
