Is this possible? I need to learn ruby or anything which will help me achieve this... Hey Hrish, this is very interesting..

Also, a lot of the Indian editions of technical books that you can buy here cost much less than the original editions :). I also found this - http://www.amazonglobal.com/ - where you can search for items that ship internationally. @Surya: Yes.
