New York Calling

Dear Sir:

I very much liked your Globe Trot article 'Indian Hues In New York' in the June issue. I have been to New York myself twice and was amazed at the cosmopolitan culture that it exhibits. It is one of the few cities in the world where everyone, not just Indians, feels at home. In fact, the city is an inkling of the global nature of the cities of tomorrow. Most people in urban Indian will know a couple of friends or relatives who live in New York. Susan George has brought out very well the Indian imprint which is slowly merging into the city.

Precaution Pays

Dear Sir:

'Crime And The Traveller', the cover story of the June issue was very relevant to the times. As a traveller who's been to many crime-infested cities like Johannesburg, I know the kind of insecurities that travellers are victim to. But as your story says, one can take a basic level of precaution which, though it might not make journeys crime-proof, can make one much more assured while travelling. I think feBusiness Traveller must focus much more on issues like these which directly affect the business traveller.
