I have heard a lot about how foreigners (even Indians who return from abroad) are treated at the Indian international airports. The solution may lie in giving some part of the work to private sector (Public-Private partnership maybe).
Here's an interesting article on the same in The Financial Express.

Chitthi aayi hai...
Here are some really interesting email disclaimers I received in my emails...!!
1.
IMPORTANT: This email is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humour or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this email is not authorised (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes anirritating social faux pas.
Unless the word absquatulation has been used in its correct context somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or grammatical use and may beignored. No animals were harmed in the transmission of this email, although the yorkshire terrier next door is living on borrowed time, let me tell you.
Those of you with an overwhelming fear of the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message revealed by reading this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice from Microsoft: However, by pouringa complete circle of salt around yourself and your computer youcan ensure that no harm befalls you and your pets.
If you have received this email in error, please add some nutmeg and eggwhites and place it in a warm oven for 40 minutes. Whisk briefly and let it stand for 2 hours before icing.

Ok... Ta Ta... Phir Milenge...
I have been working in my current company for 5 and a half year now. During this time I have seen many people and my collegues leave the company. Being in IT/ITES industry means a period of 3 years is a long time. So people generally leave an organisation in 2-3 years.
In all these years, I have made a collection of Last Day Emails send by them!! So if it happens to be your last day at work and you are looking for writing a farewell email, checkout some emails below...
Emotional ones:-
1.
Hi All,
With a feeling of considerable sadness, I have to inform all my friends that the time has come for me to announce my departure. My Last day withis 22nd July….. during this tenure, I learnt something new and valuable from each one of you.
Thanks to such wonderful people like you all who care for always. I have thoroughly enjoyed the generous hospitality offered and will treasure our memories for many years to come. I have gained a lot throughout my association and working with each and every one of you directly or otherwise.
Now the time has finally come to say "Goodbye" to you all. It was not an easy decision to make...I feel I'am all set for the new Challenges ahead.
I wishand the whole Team here a Great Fortune and Good times ahead…..I can be reached at abc@xyz.com.

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Best of the Lot !!!
Well, there are a few emails which I really loved!
One was from a collegue who just wrote the personal email address and "do keep in touch" in the subject line and sent a blank email to all. That was really funny!!!
Another was a email with the following message, "Today is my last day at. I will not be able to received mails on this ID. My personal email Id is abc@xyz.com."
But this one was a masterpiece. The guy sends a blank email to all with the subject "Something about you". Later we realise that to see the message, you need to do a 'CTRL + A' (select all) in the email message!!!
And the message starts as below...
Thank you for your attention
Very nice of you to spare a couple of minutes to hear me… Trust me, I wont take long.
Its something About You…...
