I plan to compile a set of Q&A related to various topics. The information is presented in Q&A format so that one can gain maximum advantage. I found that FAQ sections are websites are easy to read and get information faster. Some of the questions will be very specific. As the questions expand, i will categorize and sort them. This is another way of giving information fast.

 

1. I plan to start business, can you suggest some links to business plan templates? (Information)

 

A. The following link seems to be a good point to start preparing a business plan. I found this link come up on multiple sites that recommend business planning. I read the sample business plan and it looks very comprehensive.

2. I am in US now, I want to get my watch repaired? where do I go? (Living in USA)

 

A. I was not wearing my watch for 3 months, because I didn't know answer for the above. Finally someone told me, getting it repaired at the watch repair shops inside Mall nearby is the best way to get it done.

 

3.  Where did you get your domain registered? How much are you paying for the site? (Website)

 

A. My brother is in business of Web hosting. I got the domain registered through him and the site is hosted on servers owned by him. My brother is hosting my site free for me, but it costs 15$ per year to get the site hosted. You can find more details on http://www.pier1solutions.com and contact him. I moved from free homepages because I wanted to have Database connectivity. I am using Access database for fetching some information on this homepage. It helped me to reduce the time I spend on maintenance of my homepage.

 

4. Since you are spending lot of time in QA, what are the best resources to get started on QA? (Information)

 5. I am living in USA and I need to renew my passport. What should I do? (Living in USA)

Recently I renew my passport. I visited San Francisco Indian consulate. I had to submit application for a new passport as my passport expires and pay the application fee. I submitted on Friday and went next Thursday to collect my new passport. Application form and other details can be obtained from following site: http://www.indianconsulate-sf.org/ If you are staying in a different state, you can find out consulate that serves your state and go there. I heard in some of the consulates this job is done in one day.
