South Korea Again:

This is the second time we have lost out to South Korea. 1. Shashi Tharoor lost out to Ban Ki Moon in the race for the top post in the UN 2. The 2014 Asian games. In both these cases money played an important role. South Korea went globe trotting to gather support for Mr. Moon. India too did the same.But without any money. South Korea offered lots of aid to the african countries thus ensuring his victory. Same in the case of the Asian games. South Korea offered 20 million dollars for the training and development of sports where as there was not even co-ordination among the indians. Remember one thing that India had been the host for the asian games only once( In 1982)but SK has conducted it already twice : Once in 1986 and the next one as recently as in 2002.

One thing i noticed:

All mobile phone towers are painted in red and white. So is Airtel's logo based on this?

One thing i noticed:

We Indians have a habit of keeping our personal surroundings say our home clean but mostly at the expense of littering the public spaces. I have seen people sweeping their houses and dumping the rubbish in the roads right in front of their houses. This extends even to our eating habits. Many of us keep the curry leaves and bones after chewing on the table rather than in the corner of our plate. We don't realize that it looks bad just because it has always been a part of our life style.
