Today is August 13th. 2 days from now we celebrate 61 years of Indian Independance. India is on top of everyone's mind - be it tourists, media, industrialists. Everyone wants a pie of India. Don't know if I can really compare India today with India of the past, but one thing is for sure - India is going through one of its best phases in the last 61 years.

Indians abroad are looking for jobs back at home, Indians can now buy things that never reached our markets. Cars, gadgets - its all available. Suprisingly India is also giving a tuff fight to China in various segments and that itself is an achievement. Europe, America are helpless as they see the two new emerging superpowers India and China take away the world market they dominate for years.

India's future looks very promising although there are a few dampners like the current inflation. But I am sure all these situations are temporary. It's just the dawn of a bright new India. Maa Tujhe Salaam - Jai Hind!
