So true though.

India isn't exactly a terrible place to invest in.
I haven't done so bad with what I have there.

I don't think they meant personal investment. More the governments who give out contracts to companies who offer them the most backhanders knowing well that the job they do will never be as good as if they just pay a company to do it properly.

It's even worse than that. Often times, a contract cannot be given to anyone because a coalition partner refuses to allow the investment because it hurts his/her constituency. A recent example is the [lack of] FDI in the retail sector.

Has anyone been affected by the Pune incidents?

All things considered, Pune seems to have been a non-event.

India as a country, not India as an investment destination to profit from or people as individuals.

Basically, the need to spend lots more money and effort on the very basics that we so desperately lack : roads, sanitation, power, food distribution, basic healthcare, water, education...

What a fabulous dinner last night at Dakshin. Incredible food, great conversation and brilliant company. Thanks Keyser! ^

And I think I am in lust with that Kerala Fish!! :o If only I could carry some back to the US this weekend...

was great to meet you as well ajlondon....fun evening....i agree, the kerala fish was brilliant....no meal in dakshin is complete without it....

Put a 25 year old south Bombay boy in Kerala for 16 months and then ask him how Kerala fish tastes!!!

There's plenty of fish in the sea, my friend. And they all taste quite good ;)

if its served in dakshin, it will still taste good....:p

I am sure it will, but my love affair with Kerala is over. however, isn't dakshin a veg restaurant. Or I am confusing myself with another restaurant I saw somewhere called "dakshin the veg"

certainly not veg....their lamb & fish is amazing....
