...twin forces of a free market and a secular state will ensure uninterrupted growth and a steady move toward liberal economic ideas. But I have noticed that people outside the country often sound far surer about where we are headed than Indians themselves. In this, India is a bit like a Monet painting - from a distance, the picture seems clear. It presents an image of an increasingly liberal, outward looking country which is eager for the opportunities that are now within its grasp. But close up, our reality is less straightforward.

...team that plans to bring the economy out of the recession is a bit like a traveling circus. Once every few days, it stops on Wall St., the metaphor for all of the troubled banks, brokerages, insurance companies, and pension funds.

If you look in a mirror and tilt your head all the way to one side so that one ear is pointing to the ceiling, and then tilt your head all the way to the other side...
...things you mention is that white bird poop means a bird is stressed. But when I see it around, it's almost always white. Are birds always stressed? I meant when it's almost completely white. Um, I don't know how much detail you want, but the dark bits in the middle? If you don't see any of that and it's all white, then the bird is a bit more stressed...
