This picture is quite an interesting one. It shows India’s richest businessmen queuing to wait to meet US President Barack Obama patiently. It is ironical in many ways to see the rich and mighty queue like school children waiting for their score card or something.

Within a span of just two decades, Indian exports per capita have grown to be almost six times those of Pakistan.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
