But that's what most of do - go around in circles, trying to convince ourselves that something cannot be done - when that time could have been spent in just doing it. @Asha – Tough, yes.

Not relevant to just programmers, but for us mortals, too ;-) "Don’t waste time on thinking about when to think about planning to think about thinking about when to start thinking about doing it." - That's a tough sentence!

“Don’t waste time on thinking about when to think about planning to think about thinking about when to start thinking about doing it.” – That’s a tough sentence!

It will be different each time you visit that page. Maybe you're not able to see it because of a browser issue - try Firefox 3 / 3.6 or IE 7/8 or Chrome. @Sanjay – The code is a captcha – it should appear just beside the input box.

The people who manage Indiaplaza, Indiatimes shopping etc should realize this and focus on these 2 aspects - 1. Become customer obsessed (and not in the manner of flooding people with promotional mailers that cannot be unsubscribed from) 2. Invest in building good online shopping software and not just kludge together some preconfigured solutions which works some of the time. @Asha – Yes, This kind of “customer obsession” is what sets apart the new breed of stores like Flipkart from the traditional ones.

Being a newbie to online purchasing, I panicked and sent a mail to their customer service team - and received a prompt reply within less than 4 hours, stating the payment was successful, and my book would be shipped asap. This simple response was enough to make me a trusted customer of Flipkart. If anyone from Indiaplaza is reading this, I would suggest you take this as an example.

Yes, online stores are growing like weeds in India, especially bookstores. Most of their payment systems are in shambles with regards to error handling and usability, not to mention their customer support. The bookstores I have personally had a very good experience with are Flipkart.com and Infibeam.com @Avinasha : Thanks. Yes, online stores are growing like weeds in India, especially bookstores.

I liked your post very much. I would like to add a lot of other indian services which we have to use but they suck bigtime. I had a very bad experience with CCAVENUE which is one of the top gateways handling Indian currency. There support even though responsive delay the processing of all requests. Finding a very good gateway to handle indian currecy is becoming very hard for me.. have to stick to CCAVENUE :( hope the situation improves quickly Hai I am a friend of Andy.
