It’s been over two months into this year 2009 and not a single blog post yet .. shame on me.. I promise to write more often. Sensible stuff, not just ramblings.
In November 2008, an article of mine on India/Delhi as a business destination got published in Business Traveler magazine in its US edition. A tragic irony that the Mumbai attacks happened the same month. But we have bounced back, inspite of ourselves: the corruption, the politics, the infrastructure backlog. And inspite of the terrorists. One day, they would have to give up or give in. Give in to global development, peace and general happiness. I don’t know where all this optimism comes from, perhaps from the bottom of my soul. So here’s the link to my article titled:
Playing the India Card

Really glad to be writing about India. Hope you enjoy reading this one!
In the latest Business Traveller (June 2009) you have a piece on Visa on Arrival. Do you have a source ? I cannot find anything much on it elsewhere. If it is true, then it will be the biggest news in decades for India bound tourists.
This is going to seriously impact the visa outsourcing outfit in US, Uk and other countries. I am looking forward to it becoming a reality.
