I am not AGAINS...@ PD:<BR/>don't mistake me my friend... I am not AGAINST capitalism... I'll support any-ism that benefits me... if socialism can give me education at one-tenth the cost of a private run school, I'm all for socialism... If socialism means that my taxes are going to support schools where neither teachers nor students turn up, I'm not for socialism...<BR/><BR/>the problem is, I keep thinking... if it were not for some government aided education, I might not be writing this blog... if it were not for a PSU bank which gave me a loan without asking for security/guarantee, I might not have met you at the b-school... my problem is that by the time capitalists skim the cream and start looking at the 'bottom of the pyramid', it might be a little too late for some people...SRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915368004417241189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26844109.post-74443162319903680812008-06-16T08:23:00.000-07:002008-06-16T08:23:00.000-07:00"people who have nice jobs, good cars, fifty varie..."people who have nice jobs, good cars, fifty varieties of everything in shopping malls love capitalism..." - people don't HAVE them, they EARN them and capitalism enables them to do that. Indian socialism kept 800 million people poor for 44 years since independence. Chinese capitalism lifted more people out of poverty than the entire population of african continent under and after Deng Xio Ping.<BR/>Just a thought!liveyourdreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334052901881228631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26844109.post-70334169134656692582008-06-16T05:14:00.000-07:002008-06-16T05:14:00.000-07:00@ ravi:tnk u... though am not sure if Chetan Bhaga...@ ravi:<BR/>tnk u... though am not sure if Chetan Bhagat would be happy being compared here :)<BR/><BR/>@ tushar:<BR/>i'm still waiting for the gal who can initiate one ;)<BR/><BR/>@ anand:<BR/>the shopping mall bhutta is not bhutta... it never will be...<BR/><BR/>and the contrast between rich and poor exists everywhere...

The image people have and are reminded of when spoken to about Mumbai up here in London is about the Slums. I hope that in the future I am able to tell people to come to Mumbai for different reasons, for example the Financial capital of AsiaAnand KVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514095433848102234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26844109.post-79662707112038326892008-06-16T02:52:00.000-07:002008-06-16T02:52:00.000-07:00hehe .. like it.. i think ure gonna make a movie s...hehe .. like it.. i think ure gonna make a movie some day.. but y is it always the guy turning around to kiss the gal...gals initiate kisses too... :)<BR/><BR/>TusharAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26844109.post-37338225016778713202008-06-15T23:45:00.000-07:002008-06-15T23:45:00.000-07:00Good one Shiva !
