ECCO - Day two - the law, the price of everything and the value of nothing

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

It was Dr. George Egeley's birthday and so whatever he wanted for breakfast, he was going to get...

...he chose to first suck up some fresh coconut juice.

Then a little fruit shopping

Someone claimed there was an issue with the wiring, looks 'normal' right?

A trip downtown showed the absurdity of price and prestige focus when the potential true value of things, just a little uptown in Suhas Ralkar's lab, is dismissed by the same financiers that would fall over themselves to support this nonsense

Mukesh Ambani's $1,000,000,000 'mansion', the most expensive in the world, 2o mins ride from a struggling engineer

Even a 2 bedroom apartment with inspiring names like 'Sea View' start at $1.73 million

Chasing this gold mine, the skyline is littered with half built structures, many of them stalled so long they look old before they have their glass in.

Against this backdrop, we took our fight to the next level and called on the services of a Lawyer, a review of the day can be listened to here.

After our battle strategising, Bob had a nice vegetarian meal with George to celebrate his birthday

The final comeuppance though, was the presentation of two wafers of something, that rose like the skyscrapers when a little water was placed on them

We couldn't help thinking that we were being asked to wipe our fingers on damp slices of what one might normally see in the sanitary section of a drug store.

We prepared for battle today, will we find ourselves in the good fight tomorrow - or mere observers of tragic capitulation?

Thanks for taking us to that adventure...

A pleasure, thanks for your attention

Good Post!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Bob and George for all your time and effort you can only do so much to attempt to resolve the situation. I wonder whether your seeing all this confused jumbled mess of wiring and equating it with the state of affairs over there, if the time arrives, just disconnect and move on.

First, thank you for your kind words.

Yes, indeed George and I did think that this was a good analogue for the labyrinthine state of affairs here. I know from personal experience, if you can make a business here in India, you can make a business anywhere - it is an excruciatingly frustrating experience at times.

Wait for the report of the day - I think we will find a way forward.

Suhas in trouble? What time did you can enter the lab test ECCO reactor?
