I am a noob in all this and never ever dealt in shares or anything till date. But I just want to purchase 10 shares each of Microsoft and Google because I know they will prove good in the long run. Even if they are available at higher rates I wanna buy. I dont know where should I go for this and purchase it. Please can someone guide me on how should I proceed?
 
If you are Indian, then ICICIDirect provides International trading in a few scrips via their trading account. It probably won't be a good idea though to open such an account just for buying and keeping a few shares as the account will have additional charges like annual maintenance and other expenses which will reduce whatever profits you may or may not make. These are advisable if you trade regularly. Check the additional expenses and then calculate.
Other Brokerages might also provide such services.

Instead of multigiant Blue-chip is the word used in the industry for such companies. You can also look at Indian companies to invest as there are very good companies in every market.

last 2 years comparison between microsoft, ibm, tcs, infosys and google. I am almost sure this does not include dividends.

TCS has outperformed all of these but there will also be many others which will have a better record than TCS. This is just an example of options available locally and in the IT sector. I have not even looked at other industry sectors.

Thanks Proing I just want to purchase those shares only which provide Dividends every year. So could you please list the names of any such companies shares which we can buy for a long term period and those can provide dividends annually a good return I mean.
 
If you just want a ranking based on dividends then check here

You will find that most of the larger and successful companies do not give huge dividends but their stock price grows consistently as instead of giving away profits to investors they use it for further expansion and growth of the company.

There is no fixed answer as to what shares to buy. Most of the stocks listed in the above link would not have provided the same dividend last year. The best way is to always keep tracking your investments and making changes if and when required.
