I've just returned from NZ where I was startled to find a primitive financial market, economically uncompetitive, a more moribund private sectors, with incredibly high cost of living given the ceiling on earning power. Physician, heal thyself. I find it mildly ironic that Dryden has these comments to make.

Reminded me of Indian airports 10 years ago. So in comparison it has changed for the better. Probably one needs to visit once in a decade to find the good changes. I wouldn't go so far as compare with Singapore airport. What pains is that it is no way near Bangkok airport! and Bangkok has a brand new one now, wish we could ship the old one to Delhi or Mumbai!

Wants to see India Shining. There is a janta class which wants to progress too. But requires help from ruling political class, in terms of education and a chance at jobs. There is ruling political class - which works to ensure that nobody makes any progress. Prevents middle class from creating jobs, is unable to create jobs itself, and actively thwarts primary education programs by diverting funds towards reservations in premier institutions. What a joke and an irony. Would we be blogging about the same problem even a decade from now? At this rate it will take generations for things to change. Thats too damn slow.
