Dear Cornel, Seems like you enjoyed your trip. I think the wine is bottled in plastic rather than glass probably because plastic is cheaper.
You should have tried the croc. I've never had but have had alligator here in the US. It's sort of like chicken and with a little tartar sauce can be quite nice. I also agree with you that the prospect of India joining superpower status within the next few decades is a myth. Even with foreign investment and the multiplier effect in full force, it cannot generate enough ripples to bring 60% of the population out of poverty within a short span of time. Simultaneously unlike China, no concerted efforts are being made to curb population by either party. Even Goldman Sachs in their follow up to BRICs, make note of the fact that despite huge strides being made in the aggregate economy, personal incomes will be only a fraction of those enjoyed in the west. Increases in GDP of countries with such large population means little to the PCI. Also, the CPI in India, continuously puts a wrench in the corporate wheels of India by objecting to dismantling of PSUs, increases in foreign investment in vital sectors and its general dislike of anything be it investment or ideas imported from the West. We have to overhaul the political system itself by reducing the impact of regional politics if we want to cohesively impact national economics. And that's my morning dose of pontificating!
