...life's recurring unpleasant moments that Rajiv Mehta, owner of an interior-design company in New Delhi, has come to dread. During Mehta's frequent business trips in India, his flight often approaches its destination only to have the pilot announce that the plane will have to circle the airport for a while-not because there's bad weather or a mechanical glitch, but because of congestion on the ground.
