RE: Transportation in the United States
Dear Shri Chavan,
I hear that you recently made a trip to the United States to study the transportation infrastructure here. I hope you had a good experience.
Well, it’s a pity that we did not get to meet! I read about your trip in the papers and wanted to write to you beforehand, but you had completed your trip before I could finish writing the letter. Since I came from India to the United States to study transportation, I was going to offer you a guided tour of the transportation system of the United States. I hope you will accept this offer now and make another trip, for I promise to show you what you will not see otherwise.
You’ll be staying with me, of course, in my small garden apartment in suburban New Jersey – no, no, I insist! Why do you want to waste taxpayers’ money on a hotel room? Now, me being a poor grad student and all, I can’t really afford a car to drive you around, so we’ll have to make do with public transport. But as chief minister of a state where the per capita income is 100 Rs a day, surely you don’t mind that? I would imagine that you would be interested particularly in how the transportation system here works for the poor!
