Imagine how much they will be able to export in 10 to 20 years with slightly better treatment of the soil and education in how to handle the soil well.<br /><br />Like you say I also do believe that it will take time but the time will come for sure during my life-time.Fredrik von Oberhausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924238593055161520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949218657849719987.post-71513939962149562032014-03-08T09:04:40.191+00:002014-03-08T09:04:40.191+00:00Hello!

I remember it from my vacation in Goa a couple of years ago. We spent some time in a more posh hotel with servants all dressed in white and the remained of the time in a 500 Rupees / night "bungalow" or whatever they might have called it. <br /><br />The one thing that stood out the most was the burning of all their garbage. Everything was burnt on their backyards, plastic, food, metal cans everything was set ablaze with the toxic fumes as a result... Interesting!<br /><br />India has _a lot_ of potential, but after having spent some time in the countryside (Goa is a big place) the lack of.. Thinking? Is rather apparent. The waste and corruption is huge. Construction projects are almost always half-assed and it will take a rather long time before there is any kind of western industrialization going on on a larger scale. I´ve never been in Dehli and i understand tha t things are different there.<br /><br />Anyway, i like your blog! Keep it up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
