Some questions

Why don’t we have more projects like Tata’s Nano?

Why are we so afraid of imports?

Why are our civil society organizations so wary of scrutiny?

Why are NGOs a conduit for tax avoidance?

Why are most development interventions successful on paper (government or non government) but apparent and abject failures in terms of physical manifestations?

Why do we have to wait for a VVIP to inaugurate a flyover, before the ordinary mortals can start using it?

Why can’t we institute a prize that matches the Nobel in stature?

(A very happy b’day to my Naniji, the most intelligent grandmother in the world, who in spite of being very traditional, is my greatest ally and to warn you in advance, in case you are not in my good books, you better avoid her).
