An open letter to India

Hello, my neighbor.

I know we don't talk much, and it seems I only call when I need something. There's no way around my needy calls as so many of our call centers are with you!

With that aside, I'm writing today because I was really taken back by the story I read about you today. Here's a copy of what I saw:

New Delhi -- One needs to sweat it out for 59 minutes to earn Rs 59 to buy a large-sized `Big Mac' burger from the McDonalds outlet in Delhi, a latest study says.

To afford the same burger, those living in the African city of Nairobi need to put about half an hour extra, while those in the US cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami would have to put a maximum of 13 minutes.

Holy crap! What a bad standard of measurement.

I would rather eat anything -- I do mean anything -- than that mess, let alone work the entire day for it. I'm saying, at the end of the day you need a really good bean burrito or something . . . maybe some nachos.

Anyway, I hope you all get your earnings problems resolved . . . or redesign your fastfood pricing structures . . . or do whatever makes you happy.

Hey, I just want what's best for you. What else are friends for?

Sincerely,

U.D.
