		<description>Sadly and unfortunately I&#039;ve seen what you&#039;ve described... &quot;throwing people at the problem&quot; time and again. 

Why do Indians commonly think of re-inventing things (with the argument that we&#039;d make the same thing more cost effective in the bargain) instead of using best-of-breed and moving on to work on the core competency?</description>

		<description>Very interesting take on why US and Israel build companies with great value.
Working with Israeli&#039;s and seeing their work ethic, there is a lot we can learn. And I fully endorse the opinion that everyone should visit Israel. What 7.2 million people in a land as big as our Kerala have done is simply amazing.</description>
