Maybe off-topic but interesting... My business associate, an Aussie of Irish descent, visited New Delhi for the first time in his life, to give a talk on electronic court systems. He met a couple of Goan lawyers there, who treated him to Goan mangoes and cashew nuts. He says he never tasted such good mangoes (our mangoes usually come from Darwin and Queensland, season being mid-Dec to mid-Feb). As to the rest of his stay, "India is overwhelming - wow!". But he was disappointed in the under-utilisation of computers - explained to him that human-power is more valued in India than computer-power, hence five people doing the work that one person would do over here. Hierarchy is very much in vogue in Indian work-practices (whoever heard of an manager washing the dishes in the kitchen in India? Yet my manager does this whenever he sees dirty cups left by visitors overflowing the office sink). Cheers, Gabriel de Figueiredo. Melbourne - Australia. Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
