THE INTEREST GRAPH

The Turakhia brothers of India drew big hits on our website:

“Starbucks isn’t

aiming at traditional

tea drinkers but

people open to new

experiences.”

“I take

instructions

from Daddy and

execute. I am

his left and right

hand.”

“We think similarly

in so many

aspects. We have

a crazy amount

of trust in each

other.”

OUR LIST OF INDIA’S 100

RICHEST (October, p. 68)

inspired a Web comment by

Delarno D. that compares the

economic ferment in India

with the status of a certain

western country that’s having

a rancorous election season:

“India is making big progress;

meanwhile the situation in the

U.S. is deteriorating fi nancially

and morally.” YankeeLiberty

refl ected on Rich Karlgaard’s

column about Asian shyness

and how it relates to the corpo-

rate world (“Culture and Suc-

cess,” October, p 32): “My own

culture (not Asian) prepared

me very well for a ‘stereotypi-

cal’ technical career. All this

talk about getting to the top, however, made me change to general management

and bet heavily on traits I did not have, whether due to culture or personality.”

Added Ryan Moran: “Culture is everything.”
