This time around the bias in selecting the winners in many cases were so obvious that even the foreigners were openly commenting

Hospitality as always , was very good, but marred by one fact .Areas to relax was segregated, and I am not talking about the judges areas.

I wasrudely told by a young foreigner, not a judge, that I should not walk in a certain area as they were seated there having a cup of tea!!

needless to say, I told her to leave if my presence was upsetting her.

At a dinner at the Anand lawns, the bias was even more pronounced.

Foreign guests had lovely table arrangements with beautiful linen, wine glasses et al. We were expected to stand around.

When an elderly gentleman, a bit handicapped sat down at one such table,innocently thinking he could, he was very rudely made to get up and was told that the dinner seating was only for foreigners.

This was enough for me to decide never to participate in future.

On the blatant bias in the winners selection, an astonishingly large number of people, both Indian and Foreign, we're openly commenting on the way things in India work and were extremely displeased !

there were some very deserving cars that were awarded, but far more lost out because perhaps they were not ( owners) deserving. cars were secondary , owners seemed to be the basis barring a couple of exceptions for selection.

And for those who think otherwise, my post is based on observation of the majority and not because the Lanchester was ignored. the Lanchester won at Pebble beach!

I would like to think that is a greater honour for the car than a Cartier show in India

I am sorry to read as to what has happened. With whom did this happen? Even I went there and the atmosphere was really good and healthy. I feel instead of sharing this account publicly please suggest the gentleman to mark an email to the body who has organized it. By the way, my experience was really very good.

This happened with a certain collector from Bombay. Madan Mohan might know him.

Hi akash

As usual, you continue to rock. Each one of coverage is better than your previous. Just remember-like we always talk-today, self reliance is the best way to bring out the best in us. Nobody learns anything till its seen first hand and experienced practically first hand. Theories are for amateurs.

Sidharth, I am humbled by your appreciation. What level I have reached today is all because of you all and TAI has been guiding me always. You well know how much I love and respect this forum even when we talk. Let me be honest, there are only very few matured entities who genuinely know how to appreciate someone's efforts and T.A.I's entire team is one of them. I shall be really thankful to all of you!

Akash
