No parking hassles, no getting wet in the rain, no juggling parcels, no cash queues, no aching feet. Go shopping in the electronic bazaar. All you need is your credit card and an Internet connection. You can buy books from Indiabookstore.com and Indishop.com. At Rediff.com. you can do more than buy books. You can make hotel reservations in 40 cities, and buy music and gifts. You can also buy movie tickets for some theatres in Mumbai.

With a security-enabled Web browser, sending off your credit card number to a secure website should be safe. Rediff lets you order online and give your credit card information to their representative who would visit your home or office.
