I think they get their money just on the corporate usage of their services. <BR/>and yeah, people will be people.

But I think this has more to do with sustaining infrastructural costs in a mature market, rather than a growing market like India... <BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, I was totally shocked the first time I flew here and all I got was Pretzels! I was like, is there some more coming?! :) Hehehe.. thats ridiculous! <BR/><BR/>And I totally agree about the fact that Indians come here and go into their shell instead of trying to mix with the local people... we dig our own graves, and then wonder why people think of us as a bunch of "geeky, quiet, intellectual" people!

Its more in terms of belonging, which is very human..<BR/><BR/>India is definitely shining in many areas none the less.. But, shining at the costs of poverty,corruption, imbalace in money, religious fundamentalism, politics..<BR/><BR/>India has a long way to go before it is proclaimed 'Shining', i guess..In comparison, in some fields, YES... but in many others, NOPE!APUGONNABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00775154147248004344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32594841.post-45933493893229370692007-08-21T15:19:00.000-04:002007-08-21T15:19:00.000-04:00I liked the comparison of people...good work here....I liked the comparison of people...good work here.

I hope its not that :-)<BR/><BR/>I do believe that for the middle class, the PPP is perhaps equivalent to a developed country. <BR/><BR/>If only the political class does rise to the occasion then the trickle effect should ensure a good deal for all.Dhirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881307627828480245noreply@blogger.com
