| 25 billion NRI's! Hospitality and travel, said Mr Tytler, were the next big things. "India is well geared to provide hospitality to 25 billion Indians who live abroad. India is also fast catching up as a coveted destination for Europeans. http://www.dailypioneer.com/indexn12...&counter_img=6 |

| I think the world population itself is only about 6 billion!! About Indians abroad, it must be 25 million and not 25 billion. It may be true that Indians invented zero. But that doesnt means that we should use it so generously |
