this ip from which i am mailing is on bsnl - but my desktop is on net4india which doesnt get it's IP from bsnl - and no, i dont trust anything as insecure as mail to my desktop.
True. You seem to be using some hops for mail but all your ips are available in your header anyway. So it is not that secure. The only secure emailing available as of today is gmail as it does not reveal the ip of your isp. It only shows the unimportant private ip of the sender and google's own ip. You can never find out the country of origin, let alone city.
dream on - any sysadmin in google, and there must be thousands of them, and anyone else with clout can read your mail - big brother owns you.
I was referring to third parties who receive your mail. I have no doubts about what you said about google and thats the reason why I don't use it. The point is that if you want to make multiple hops for your email so that your original source is not known then at least wipe your tracks at the final delivery point in your network.
