...Across the quake zone, relief agencies were quickly distributing some 30 tons of high-energy cookies that the World Food Programme (WFP) developed for just this kind of emergency.

Like Tata's celebrated Nano, the $2,500 "people's car" launched last year, Habib's services are aimed at those who, perhaps for the first time, are enjoying a modicum of disposable income. In 2009 he launched Hair Espresso outlets, offering cuts...
