i am able to read data serially through serial.print() command.

That's a neat trick. Most people have to use Serial.read() to read serial data. Serial.print() and Serial.write() are used to send data to the serial port.

You can send data to an Arduino over serial from any Pc / Mac / linux machine.

But you of course need some software on the machine to do it.

If you are a little more specific with your need, we might be able to gie you more precise help.

I've been a little obsessed with All Things Serial and the Arduino recently.

This has resulted in several pages on the subject, which may help people with questions along the lines of those in the above.
