Dreadful place with plague and all? How many times have you actually been to India?

The trains are actually quite safe when you consider the fact that it carries 14 million passengers everyday and covers a total of 2 million kilometers.

Last week I flew from Charlotte to Atlanta. They announced that due to the short flight (1 hour), only water would be served (in Coach).

A while back I had a flight from Rajkot to Mumbai. In Coach we were served a hot breakfast. Flight time was 45 minutes.

On an earlier visit I took the train from Chennai to Paramakudy. Admittedly, I traveled Second Class rather than Third, but the trip was enjoyable.

India has lots of problems but she also has millions and millions of engineers, designers, builders and ordinary folks who are willing to work hard and who aspire to a better life.

I probably was not good enough to be hired by the Indian company with whom I was dealing. My Indian counterpart was much sharper than I, as were many of his subordinates.

It’s a reference to Seinfeld.
Ever watch Seinfeld?
