any chance he is comming to india on a holiday ?

You may be right that when the world's who's who comes to India, they are coming just for their "returns"; i.e., their selfish motive. But we are supposed to be optimists and always looks at the brighter or the positive side of it. When we talk of Mr Buffet coming to India and investing over here, there are lot of good points in it. It increases India's Brand Equity. It increases international confidence in India's market. It shows stability and potential of the Indian market. When the investment guru himself is investing here, then his students will follow him and we know that his students are no petty people. They are also giants in their fields. So lets be positive and hope that Indian market keeps up the progress.

"We have got one life, so why not strive for excellence"

 Anybody who has been compounding money at the rate Buffet has done and for the last many decades can never be behind the curve. The results are spectacular and a lot of us simply will not be able to replicate it. Perhaps we are getting ahead of the curve in our enthusiasm.

I do not agree to the viewpoint. Buffet has always preferred to invest only in US because he feels there are so many opportunities to invest in the US itself that there is no need for him to go beyond that. He has gone on record with that. Secondarily, He did not invest in "countries" like China or Israel but in companies like BYD and ISCAR. One should note that in both these companies, the company contacted him through a letter. BYD, he tells he does not understand the company nor the technology, but Charlie Munger thought that the owner of BYD was a great person and hence it was a bet on the jockey. Iscar's founder wrote a two page letter to him highlighting his business and invited WB to Israel. He made up his mind even before going to the factory that he would love to work with the person who wrote it. The factory just confirmed that this is a great business. In either case he was still looking for businesses. If someone from India had sent a letter to him, I am pretty sure he would have considered an investment had it been attractive. Secondly, why do we expect someone who lives outside India to predict that India would be a success story way back in 1991. Very few in India predicted it. In fact it is in 2002-03, 11-12 years after opening up did the ripple effect of India opening up catch on and it is just in the last few years there has been significant wealth creation. Buffet never took pride in predicting macro stuff. Though I agree one can criticize him, these critiques do not stand base according to me.
