He’s a Swede with a Chennai posting who is enthusiastically discovering what will work, and what will not, in this ‘open and friendly’ country.

"I’ve seen that people are a little scared of conflict, and say: ‘Yes, yes’. But things are changing. For instance, I don’t think it’s a big deal anymore that I work for an Indian company. My friends would say: ‘Wow, you work for an Indian company’; it’s neither positive nor negative, they are just surprised."

Not that it isn't interesting, it is, just as it is here, knowing why are ex-pat members are here and how they are doing.

That's cheating! Even the British only went as far as Ooty, so that they could get a refreshing taste of their awful, cold, wet, home climate!
