Nice review. However, Lapierre is a French born journalist, who had his education in Pennysylvania, US of A. He lives in France. Hence, not American :) Keep writing! Cheers! Marc

Yes it is possible to deposit a foreign currency cheque/draft from a bank abroad, but it would entail the customer some additional transaction costs/ charges, which one wouldn't incur if he deposits cash. That's perhaps the reason why people go for depositing cash. Moreover, we Indians happen to be ...prone to trusting the ones who don't deserve it (and vice versa)!Read More

Thanks for reading my review. Its the indifference and the attitude to take things for granted that leads us to these collective failures, and a small minority of us really rebelling and going against these attitudes is left aside. I would call these disasters failures, because we can very well a...nticipate the consequences of our deeds, and still we're not willing to act responsively, and are engaged in passing the buck on. May God Rest in Peace, for I'm sure he'd be going through the pain of seeing His creation being destroyed ruthlessly!Read More
