The writer had rightly pointed out the ideas of what outside world thinks of India.Recently my German colleagues were in India. Even they thought that India is full of poor people, stray dogs. BUt they had a diff picture once they arrived in Mumbai. But during our local visit to Nasik from Mumbai, they were amazed to see the traffice (indisciplined(, surprised to see people hanging out of local trains and enjoyed it as well. They found cattle coming across vehicles on the highway very funny and they had expected it since they have read all thi stuff about India in there country. And when they realy saw it, it was a funny experience for they. By and large at the end of the tour , they had some good memories and well well wishes for India.

Mumbai is the worst city in India! A 3rd world city (African city if you please) by all standards. So if the journey from Mumbai to nasik was worse, I am afraid Maharashtra needs a major uplift. If an external visitor needs to get a better sense of developing India, Delhi, Gurgaon, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, even Lucknow (which has improved a lot in recent times) are the cities to visit.
