Jai Sri Krishna Detroit!

Well my earlier prediction that US government will save GM from chapter 11 blushes was proved wrong. However Chapter 11 might have opened the doors for the Indian Underdogs.

The world has changed a lot after the early years of the 21st Century and so is going to change the Landscape of Detroit. It was not very long ago that we in India were struggling to make an indigenous car of our own. The same guys in a decade or so have Jaguar in their basket. Our man of steel would prefer it to be re-branded as Inguar probably. All the truck and tractor companies of our erstwhile licensed economy are now making inroads into US with new flashy models.

Morning I got to see the headlines of CNN and I knew ‘Indians are coming’ is a past tense now and they are in the flight to Detroit. We have created the tractors and the trucks which are definitely not in the best leagues ever but affordability is the new mantra of the changing world. We are capable of getting Nano in every field. Well some might say China is the best but somehow we are more aggressive and confident of taking over the world.

FED sees some greenshoots on the economy and may be it is the revolution unleashed by India to grow the green further in their turf. We are definitely affected by the baby christ effect on the monsoon but its candid that its Jai Srikrishna time for the Detroit.

The Indian invasion of Silicon Valley is almost saturated now;

NEXT is WHAT: Truck and the tractor makers of India unleash a new Era of auto invasion. :)

Amazing India

I had just returned from some of the coldest places on earth and was wandering in the sunny streets of Hyderabad for a Stupid goverment ink stamp . This is known as an attestation from a Class I officer and that was required for your own photo.The hunt was because of my sister's application for a govt job. Conspicuosly we were not able to tag the stamp on the form till the last date. Failing to find a willing govt gazetted officer in our housing complex we thought we will hit the govt offices but invain we either ended up on "un-willing" officers or the peon-filter who never allowed us inside. This was not the first time I came across this and this would have probably been the similar disappointment at the becreautic set up across the length and breadth of the country. Another similar incident was in Mumbai once in 2002. I was needed to enter the most guarded science fotress in Mumbai and they wanted me to provide my details on a 20 rupee "stamp paper" with some authorised signature . I probably learnt marathi on that day as all the public servants were barking at me in the language I never understood- suddenly I realised I am in the film " Deewar" and everyone else is Amitabh Bachan shouting at me " Jao jake pehle uska sign leke aao...."

A stamp paper at that time was frm telgi's house or a stamp on the photo may be w/o seeing the person itself- we cling to all stupid things and it has become genetically indian.

At the end my best friend had always been a nimboo pani ( whom u find only in India) which makes me feel "amazing" at the end.

Who says India is diversified???- It so united and similar !!
