India needs modern airports. And they need to be built by experts who know the job. We do not need the baggage of inefficient organisations which cannot deliver world standards. Modern airports should have all the facilities to enable landings even in very poor visibility conditions. Bollywood made the word "dyslexia' popular with the movie Taare Zameen Par (Stars on Earth). The World Federation of Neurology defines dyslexia as: "A disorder manifested by difficulty in learning to read despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and socio-cultural opportunity'. One of the characteristics of dyslexia is: Problems with direction (up and down) and time (before and after, yesterday and tomorrow). In India, the way airport building projects are being handled smacks of organisational dyslexia, with very little coordination between the authorities concerned.
