And people complain that Indian corporates don't have a risk appetite.
An airline flies a plane without an air-worthiness certificate. A restaurant, built with wood at a site fire brigade cannot reach, lets off crackers for an indoor show. A private bus adds so many seats that the emergency exit is blocked. Criminal indifference/greed everywhere.
