Invest money in Sensex and go bankrupt! This is the Mantra these days. The only people who become rich are Gujju stockbrokers like Harhad Mehta. Didn't he try to buy off Narsimha Rao with his suitcase full of cash?
Mr. Ninan has forgotten a manjor point. Mumbai is way ahead in tax collections then Delhi. Tax collections are a direct barometer of a city's affluence. There is nothing much to read in flights cancellation. He seems to have forgotten that in North, Delhi is the only major airport while in West, Ahmedabad and Pune have taken away a slice of Mumbai's traffic. Because of difficulty in adding one more runway in Mumbai, more and more airlines are increasing their flights from Ahmedbad and Pune which is not the case with Delhi.
This only shows the rise-and-rise of political power and patronage in our country instead of business/ commercial power. Mr.Ninan, this is a shame for the country, not something to rejoice.
Delhi gets unlimited, yes unlimited amounts of Central Funds, while Mumbai has to beg continuously, take a look at what Laloo Yadav has given to Mumbai. Nothing! The politicial power is such that every small local infrastrucutre project needs approval from the babus of Delhi. They are slowly strangulating Mumbai.
RE:Delhi coming to no.1 is a NATIONAL SHAME!

Mr. Ninan, your example of DLF and Unitech. Goes without saying how much the success of a realty project is dependent on political and regulatory approval. Mumbai cos are not able to manage this aspect and hence realty cos from Delhi. These realty cos are nowhere high tech, they are just adept in getting approvals for buying lands. Remember the land baron in "Khosla ka Ghosla" movie. These are the same people.
