Desi tips for saving $$$ - Tip # 1

SHARE THY INTERNET WITH FELLOW DESI

You have just moved into a new neighbourhood and you are part of the 99% desis who enjoy living with their community (the rest 1% are just show-offs and confused).  You need to now call the cable company or your telephone provider to get an internet connection so you can download camera-print copies of the latest bollywood movies and watch IPL on free-streaming sites. THOU SHALT NOT CALL THE INTERNET COMPANY.  Read below for more..

There is a 10:1 chance that there are atleast 3 other desi homes within a 50 ft perimeter. Please knock on their door and enquire about any ongoing internet-sharing deals within that 50 ft perimeter. It is very simple - one of them already has a 6 Mbps broadband connection and is paying $50 per month. So, all you need to do is strike a deal with him to share his home wireless network with you and allow access to your laptop. Even with 4 of you sharing, you will still get atleast 1.5 Mbps each, but not pay more than $12 a month ! If wireless router not powerful, buy range extender for some $30 (one time cost)- you can later sell on Sulekha.com or even carry back to India to continue this imported concept !

Total Monthly Savings -  Approx $40 
Savings account end of the year - Approx $500 extra - Rs.20K dude - howzaat !!!
