'W' also stands for William
"Bill Gates needs India more than India needs Bill Gates. But we don't seem to want to see that."- quoted on The Hindu in 2002. Have we learnt the reality 3 years later?
The Hindu also wrote- "The AIDS mission apart, why was Bill Gates here? Blinded by his fame and wealth, we failed to see the pure commercial motive of advancing the interests of Microsoft. With our uncritical adulation, we may have ended up selling our software market, our software talents and perhaps even our soul to the world's biggest software company. Hook, line and sinker."
Hope this time around our politicians do not compromise their roots, and understand that it does not need money to hold one's backbone straight in front of another human being . Remember, how Mahatma Gandhi met the Queen of England in his simple cotton garb?
Give William Henry Gates the deal, in fact give all the 'W's of this world all their deals- but a deal is only a deal when both sides make a fortune- otherwise it seems like a case of pimping.

Seems like all the 'W's in toady's post are adding up. Although, if the inception of WB Gates opens a few windows to Micro$oft research centers - it's a good enough sign towards reverse brain drain.
