The subject itself talks my mind. What else can we expect from Ram who is currently staying in the most developed nation and sitting in a nice A/C room having a nice cool PC in front of him. Debacle is debacle when we talk, think.. no excuse please.. US failed is a fact and having all the facilities such as accurate weather predictions, state-of-the-art communication system (satellite phones and many other) at their disposal still they lack that particular instinct. By the way, why New-Orleans was out of communication for so long when they must be having satellite phones which does not depend on land-lines or anything else ? other surprising fact is, they didnt have high capacity pumps and generators to drain water ? This and many other aspects are possible to illustrate.. but Ram you will not think of this and more but you will feel happy to snatch away the happiness people get by saying Mumbai is superior than US..Any comments ?
