Punctuality is not a particularly Indian virtue

Ha! Ha!  As a computer guy with many, many Indian friends, I can absolutely vouch for this statement!

One couple was shocked to see us so early when we showed up at a party they were having 15 minutes after the time on the invitation!

Indian weddings are the best!

Yes, outsourcing to India has made my job prospects less secure and less well paying but I'm convinced melding strong ties to India will work to our advantage in the long run.

I think even the Commies were surprised by their electoral victory earlier this year.  Hopefully they wont screw things up too badly!
