Swiss Musings - India Unlimited!
At over 10000 feet above sea level, with visibility less than few meters, in a remote mountain peak in Switzerland, would anybody ever imagine in his wildest dreams that he would find Indian population beating any others. This is India unlimited!
On my recent trip to Swiss, I visited a place called Mt. Titlis. This is about 10000 feet above sea level and one could get a glimpse of Swiss from this peak. It was here that we saw groups of Indians almost everywhere. I would rather say that Indians were omnipresent in and around Engel berg. In the peak alone, I would have seen more than 200 Indians. To add is the fact that there was a restaurant serving Indian food, menu: Pav bhajji type dish, Carrot halwa, Jeera rice, Paapad, Palak. It was a sumptuous lunch.
This would not be peculiar at places like California, Denver, London, Australia or Singapore, but at Mt. Titlis, this indeed was a point to ponder.
Let me run through the composition of the crowd. One chunk of people had come on Europe tour arranged by tour operators in India. One chunk of people had come from Ambuja cements. These people were being rewarded for their extra ordinary performance in the past year. And when I am talking about Ambuja employees, I am not talking about graduates and double graduates who are spending their time off from their chore of number crunching. I am rather talking about the cross section of employees, worker level to management level. These facts prove that India is truly shining. And the population is going to be a boon for India, since it this population that crosses the minds of Elle CEO, Swiss President, Uni lever Marketing Head, Coke Country Head and hoards of other heads.
It is high time we Indians recognise our potential and spearhead the growth of the next century!

Sami … that was a nice blog …
Bewitching place indeed … am not sure if we can ever find another place in order and harmony as this …
As a matter of fact … initially I was a bit lethargic to spend 4 days in Swiss … but after being there … I wish I had more time to look around the place leisurely …
Hats off to you all who made this trip really happen … :-)
