That was a good article. That is the thing about India - it is a little bit of a paradox really. I used to wonder all the time how it worked...that India had almost absolutely nothing, and people in general are relatively much happier - they are always smiling.

And the thing is though people are poorer - there is always too much social contact - it is unavoidable and they are involved in each others' lives(and trust me, sometimes it is such a pain). And because of contact, people are happier. That is one of the reasons I came back to India.
