Most days, for those of us living and working in India, we have already seen that news in the newspapers here. Also, most days most of the posts on that blog tend to the dark side of India’s news–always important news but not enough of the positive, vibrant stuff we see each day here. We tend to pass on 90% of the posts, but the other 10% are always worth a look. Today’s keeper is here:

Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark Liberty airports connect New York with the rest of the world. The airports of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey service 109 million passengers with 1.3 million flights.
