Its human being mortified. Its human feeling frustrated. Its frustratingly mortifying being Indian if it means sharing some social, intellectual, value system DNA with badly spoken, bad intentioned men and women campaigning for another stab at power of stabbing India and Indians in the face.
Spastic press - excited like Indian press is - talking loud and fast, but not pressing politicians to abdicate vituperative of divide and hate platforms and no political party promising stemming violence, minimizing illiteracy, bringing clean water and safety to the poor makes me not ashamed to say I don't feel proud being Indian.

Rich and poor, right now, right here
So here I am.
At 2 AM - bleary eyed with fingers that feel arthritic with all the typing, and my body sore from all the driving these last few days - but wired like a nymphomaniac on a Red Bull and speed binge.
You see I'm writing an executive summary for someone with deep pockets and a vision that sees past the horizon - purpose is to secure funding to create a solid brand in a $90 billion fragmented industry.
After I am done with it I shall start writing a plan that will alleviate the suffering of marginal farmers in India by creating a platform on current technology + market (defining) forces - seriously, not kidding.
And all this - which will cost a very large bundle of money even to make a real pitch - is happening - this creative burst of ideas - when money is at an ebb lower than the high tide at this silly puddle called the bay right outside our patio - this water front lacks all drama and show, placid like a lake on its death bed.
Frustrating, ain't it - to think you have the key to change the future of an industry and the lot of a people and not being able to do diddly because of cash crunch?
By the way which is your favorite retail food store? Big Bazaar, Reliance, Subhiksha or ?????
