    Comment: Mr. Gorin may or may not be racist. He certainly is ignorant. And what Mr.Gorin does not know hurts him - in the wallet. He might have, for instance, invested his money in Indian stock and made more money in four years than he did in all the years he peddled luxury cars. Alternately he might have invested in real estate in Nariman Point or Connaught Place and made out like a bandit. But, he probably has never heard of Mumbai or Delhi - and in the bargin missed out on the 100 per cent plus increases in real estate prices. Poor Mr. Gorin, his information on India probably came from Mowgli and Indiana Jones. He says perception is reality. True. But it is equally true that unless the perceptions are based on well researched information, they produce a reality which injure the ignorant more than they can ever tell.

    Comment: Dear friend... Your comment really heartwarms me. I salute your spirit. Many in the west turn a blind eye to Asians and their achievements. For long people thought that Calculus was developed by Newton and Leibntiz. Recently the University of Manchester proved that Caluculus was developed by a Kerala School in South India 250 years before Newton and Leibnitz.

    Comment: Bad Orient Expressed
    -------------------------------
    An elitist like Paul White has shown his "pedigree" by conjoining a defense with an offense.He has every right to refuse collaboration (which he has mistakenly perceived as hostile),but he has no right to shoot down another company who he does not want to work with.He could have politely declined by saying -incompatible brand synergies.He should be sued by the Tatas for tainting their image or get sacked.Mr.Krishna Kumar is absolutely right for going on the offensive .The normal protocol would be disengage , take the high road and go on your way,
    BUT dont malign or pooh-pooh your business partner in a global arena with off-the-edge emotions.
    His indignant rebuff reeks of branding his company of a higher immortal status than factual.
    This really should make the shareholders of Orient Express examine the temperament of their leader as well as his "refinement' to lead such a luxury brand.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
