Indians are the most successfull of the race in the world ..if you judge by population alone.

Integrity- As far as we can fathom ..Insects lack morals. No , let me rephrase it , the only moral they have is the Nietzschian fundamental of "Strength is justice".

Start at 1035 and reached Pune at 230. Me and Pradip went to find out the bus timings......
