The culture, people, society that exists is strongly typed conservative and guess what it has begun to rub off [...]

The Elites
Couple of weekends ago I was back in Mumbai and happened to meet up with the IITB gang. Most of them turned out to be batchmates of Sunil. 5 out of the 6 folks I met had done their US stint and were back here to do their bit for the future of this part [...]
