The rap on India is that it has a lot of potential, if it can only get out of it's own way. In yesterday's paper, there was an article stating that India leads the rest of the world in bureaucratic red tape. Well, if today is at all indicative of India's "slow" bureaucracy, the US is in trouble.
After spending most of the morning with the Twinkies, we applied for their birth certificates at around 11:00 am, expecting that it would take a few days to get them, even using an expedited service. While I was heading back to the hospital (after moving us to the B&B where we will stay when the kids are discharged), I received a call to come pick up the birth certificates! Even Shilpi, who coordinated the entire process for us, was surprised.
Fifty percent of India's population is under 25 and they are hungry for something better. Hopefully, since the Twinkies are half Indian and half American, they will be able to live with one foot in each camp, taking advantage of all of benefits that the US has to offer and using those to help make the whole world a better place.
