I would be more appreciative if he weren't a journalist by occupation (and an aspiring novelist by extension) Emerging markets (or ex-commonwealth) literature is now trending upwards and the recent Man Booker prize was awarded for an Indian expat's debut novel (The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga http://www.amazon.com/White-Tiger-Novel-Aravind-Adiga/dp/141... )
So it isn't really a brain circulation as much as one individual's canny career movie for someone whose profession is writing. And it did work, he got published in the NY Times!
If I were more uncharitable, I'd call this "artistic slumming" for a new experience fix.

If the circulation happens only for the brains in drain elsewhere and are looking for opportunities here with the key designation being an NRI - it doesn't help much!
