electronic log books are not recommended as data can be lost due internal errors, I had an I pod once day its just wont not turn on, all my Punjab records lost about 400 worth.
stick to a paper log book, if anything in addition to an ipad record etc
I've had the complete opposite experience to you, when a can of red bull exploded in my flight bag, ruining my logbook.
With electronic, you can back up, mine is backed up on a separate hard drive, and also in the cloud, so I will always be able to revert back to a safe copy.
Rather than looking to India, go to a local flying club, find the 16 year old apprentice, (usually working behind the desk or in the cafe) and get him to do it for you in exchange for you taking him for a flight.
