It isn't quite happening that way, as most Indians are well aware, and the rest of the world is wising up. The story that the world is more interested in now is the one told by Slumdog Millionaire - the ugliness behind the glittering façade - and that's upsetting. The world is not following the script...
That leaves families such as the Sulhanis caught between a past they can't escape and a future they struggle to shape, renting out the top floors of their building - which technically they don't even own.

Another was to order up a new fleet of hyper-secure helicopters to transport the Commander in Chief - out of concern that a President borne by the current generation of choppers could be cut off from the rest of the world. But like the war in Iraq, the new helicopters are taking much longer, and costing far more, than originally anticipated. As President Barack Obama winds down the war, it's looking increasingly likely that he'll also end the Pentagon's four-year effort...
