maheshs··on The Real Reason Outsourcing Continues To Fail
"it’s going to be another 2 weeks because we need the new servers to arrive"

Believe me, this is totally false.

In India (at least around Delhi) you just call any medium size shop, place your order, your order will reach to your door within next couple of hour. Pay the person on your door by cash or credit card (through wireless credit card payment machine). I buy a HP laptop with the same way around 15 days back, where dell was asking for four days for delivery.

maheshs··on Signaling and Indian Higher Education
People come to India for their vacations for couple of weeks; they see India and then comment without understanding the complexity of India. They Compare India with US, UK etc. Every such writer point out problems (Easiest task in the world) but no one try to give single solution. They even don't understand India is having such a diversified culture with such a large population. If I replace population and diversity of India with US, i don't think even US can survive
