I always felt great hearing these words... but the article below made me love it even more....
Delhi Metro Rail catches attention of US business school students
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) appears to have caught the imagination of students from American business schools, who are using their study trips to India to take management tips from the hi-tech rail network.
As many as 36 students from the Wharton School under the University of Pennsylvania visited the Delhi Metro last week.
Their discussions centred on the techniques used by DMRC to construct the world-class rail system in a congested city like Delhi two years and nine months ahead of schedule, and that too within budgeted cost, a Metro spokesman said today.
Students from Wharton School and Harvard University had also met Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad last week to take management tips from him.
The DMRC informed the students about the management philosophy of the Metro -- "time is money".
Over the next few days, students from the John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University and the Stanford Graduate School of Business will also visit Delhi Metro.
In the past, teams from the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia, the Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Management, the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force had visited the Metro.
Not to forget the famous "Mumbai's Dabbawallahs"
BUT, one thing that pains me a lot, try to catch what it is-
- Holy Cow
- No Full Stops in India
- Himalaya
- Five Past Midnight in Bhopal
Well one thing common in all the titles above is that - All of them are written by foreigners.... are we so blind that we need someone else to tell us more about our mother nation??????
I end this msg with this comment from a Indian Film jurist about the movie RDB and its Oscar nominations, she said "Why do we need a gori mem to come all the way from abroad and make these Indian boys to act like our great superheros of yesteryears, cant they do it on there own". This she feels is the reason for the downfall at Oscar...........

Well, besides the article there are a lotsa thngs that makes us feel good bout bein Indian….
Like tata steel winnin da corus battle and ‘Tata’ bein a household name just like ‘coke’, ‘hp’, etc…... The whole ‘India poised’ movement… India GDP on rise, boost in employment… etc...i mean… it jut makes u proud of ur roots…
And further responding to the later part its true that the ‘outsiders’ per say are instrumental in triggering our thoughts about our realities btw ultimately its da awareness that matters… but still every1 is entitled to his or her own point of view!!...
Btw a very well conceived writin…considerin most blogs are just personalized life stories.. or rather.. “Bridjet Jones Diaries”..lolzzz!!!
