Hi Nilesh,
If you want to see your house on a map (the street actually), visit MapmyIndia (http://www.mapmyindia.com)
This is an Indian company's initiative at creating an internet map site that will come up and do as much as Google and Mapquest has done. We're also adding an Indian twist to the things we do. Check out this concept called 'eLocation' MapmyIndia has introduced.
eLocation allows you to get maps and directions to a peron's place, and the cool thing is that it gives you the directions in the words of that person (take a left after you see a panwallah, go inside that gate...u know, how people explani directions in India).
Search for this sample elocation and you'll see what I mean. The id is: arunhome
Looking forward to your comments on the blog or through mail (my email address is: rohanv@stanford.edu)
Thanks and hope you can enjoy India in much much more detail =)

That is pretty close to where my parents live and where I grew up. Google maps has a better resolution photomap for New Delhi. You can easily spot the Lotus temple and a lot of other sites.
Hey, resolution is much much better now for some indian cities!
Check out this post of mine:

Oh my goodness. I have never seen India like this picture. India is so beautiful. Ocean and river is so blue. World is big, but it's easy to access anywhere over the internet. It's wonderful.
