Deutsche Post

I just had breakfast with the managers of DHL's consumer division for Southern India, who happen to be staying in the same guesthouse as me. They were very pleased to hear that DemiDec ships about a thousand boxes a year with DHL.

I didn't mention the lost alpacas of Texas.

Over pancakes, the conversation turned to politics.

"India is a democracy," said Ragu, the older of the two. "Short-term, China will grow faster, because it is military. Government says what to do, people do it. But long-term, India will succeed more. Here, we debate, debate, debate, then in the end, do the best thing."

Well, that's quite a bit better than what we do in America, where we debate, debate, debate, and then almost inevitably do the wrong thing =D
