Deepan saw the Prime ministers address to the US congress joint session and writes his analyses and thoughts on it.
Quote: Hello Uncle Sam
One important thing that has been raised is that much development is focused in the metros and has not spread to the entire country. I see the metros as the Nodes from where the development will spread to the entire country. But the metros are not growing fast and healthy; they are instead growing like weeds. The slums are increasing; the transportation, parking, transportation etc become a bigger problem with every passing day. Why the metros lack the vision for 50-100 yrs is sad.
Deepan also raised the issues about media sensationalizing and distorting facts. I also find that media to be more entertainment that anything else. Increasingly the fight is to increase the TRP and to get more advertisements. Media allows politicians to say different things at different times and get away with that.

Media is increasingly exposing corrupt politicians and officials but the things are seldom taken to conclusion. No retrospection is done after 6-12 months. Media and judiciary has a big role to play in the indian growth.
