Is it safe to say that China is at least 30 years ahead of India?

Space race- Technology in general.

Give yourself an applause here. 👏👏👏

Malls and Cineplexes in the US are dying… and descrepit (Thank you Amazon and Netfix) … So experience wise, you folks have it good. 👏👏👏

How do you feel about Trump saying Ukraine 'should have never started war with Russia'?

Some Examples

This so-called race is in my opinion, a Phantasm, that only exists in people’s mind and I would wager that this Phantasm chiefly exists, it seems in India- which is looking at China with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

Hospitals

I keep hitting my front tooth with my glass while bringing it to my mouth unintentionally and the nerve in the tooth keeps pulsating. Does hitting the tooth like this cause damage enough that I could lose the tooth?

There is no shame, if one wants to repeat the technology, that was developed by the pioneers such as Russia and the US. The guide book and protocols are all there to emulate (Copy).

What is so magical about 30?

Look at each individual Eco-system within your immediate environs, that works in your land, in your local Area and if you are not discomfited, then all is fine. “Experience” is the key here.

The other factor is TIME. This is where the paradox comes in.

Petty Corruption. My mainland Chinese American friends, who travel back and forth to China assure me that petty Corruption is well and alive in China and the ranking by Transparency International, which monitors ‘perception of corruption’ in nations, ranks both India and China about equal. So that seems about right. 🙄

But is this what we want to emulate? I don’t know the answer to that?

Instead of giving GDP numbers, GDP/Capita and all those Statistics to make you feel good or bad, I decided to answer Nagarajan Sir’s question in the form of a long meandering discourse.

Brevity is the soul of wit, but what can I say… Verbosity is the soul of a Twit. And I admit to being Verbose.

And the plummeting birth rate in China and the aversion to marriage in China and even sex, among the young is increasing exponentially, seems to point to that.

Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

Give yourselves a round of applause. 👏👏👏

Before Desi eyes go somber and tearful, let me explain.

Let us assume that the Polity called “Dung Poo Pew ” is ahead of the Polity called “Vishwa Parihasa” in some mythical race.

‘Harry Potter’ Star Tom Felton on Playing Draco Malfoy on Broadway and Why J.K. Rowling’s Controversy Doesn’t Impact His View of the Franchise: ‘I’ve Not Seen Anything Bring the World Together More Than Potter’ - Variety

This paradox argues that Viswa Parihasa, a swifter than Dung runner, can never overtake the slower Dung Poo Pew, who has a head start by the way, because by the time Viswa Parihasa reaches the Dung's starting point, Dung will have moved forward, and Viswa must then catch up to that new position, repeating this process… ad infinitum.

Again, in any urban setting in India, the Malls are an eco-system as good as any experience in China.

Not true in many other areas of the country. 🙄

Any Bank in an urban setting, used to be the equivalent of the famous play by Samuel Becket “Waiting for Godot”, except back then in India, decades ago.

Why are Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

India has a space program that seeks to reap military as well as civilian benefits in this so-called race which there is none.

So no harm for Indians to “copy” the technology obtained by sweat and tears and expense of billions of dollars or rubles over decades by the big Two.

But I thought, I would include it just for kicks and clicks. 😏

Now for some areas of discomfort.

I don’t know. I know that if I were young, my sex drive would plummet, Viagra or not.

The model that prompts such a question is based on a “Circus Maximus” model in which Chariot races were run in ancient Rome, where Individual Nations in this example, are run like Chariots. Some are ahead, while some are behind and we are all spectators here.

Now, it is an experience that is just as good or not as good as any Bank Office in the US or China or any where else.

Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. 🙄

These Airports are an Ecosystem, where I’m far more ‘comfortable” and have a more ‘pleasurable experience’ than at La Guardia Airport or JFK Airport in New York $hitty. (misspelled intentionally).

Thanks for the request Nagarajan Sir. Sorry for the delay, it is tax filing time.

Afterall, Whatsapp, FB, mobile smart phones, have all helped us interact as well as avoid pesky and nosy neighbors and relatives.

Would that be logical? Yes!

So what I’m suggesting is that rather than constantly comparing and tearing one’s clothes in agony, employ what the Japanese call “Nemawashi” and Poka Yoke

Another Eco System, where you don’t have to apologize. 👏👏👏

Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno

ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.

Nemawashi: Small incremental improvements, that make your daily experiences better in whatever “Ecosystem”, you have to interact with.

Maybe I should Poka Yoke and Nemawashi my writings as well. 😂😂

That is all that matters really.

This begs the question.

So, here is my proposition.

Don’t constantly engage in below the navel gazing, if you know what I mean and most of all Don’t Complain; or at least not so much.

Apollo… Yashoda

To Indians, Crab Apples are wild apples that are extremely bitter, but are used to make Apple Cider- an alcoholic beverage, much safer to drink, than polluted water, back in the day.

China did that and still does that too. And I can’t understand complaints by the US and Russians here.

It is the same situation, when I learn Newton’s Laws or Calculus. I can freely learn it without breaking much of a sweat. Use some else’s Gyanodayam for literally free.

You were “Waiting for your “Dough”

Also, what does “Ahead” and “Behind” really mean?

Don’t compare, Don’t Complain.

I land at Hyderabad or Bangalore Airports. The airports are spotless, well maintained, orderly and the people follow all the rules, the security is run smoothly like clockwork. The Uber and Taxi System is excellent and smoothly run. So is the Baggage Carousel, Immigration, Customs, etc. etc. WOW!

I’ve heard this proverb before: Fools build Houses and Wise Men live in them.

So, if China were at all worried, like Hippomenes, that India would overtake them in this “race” that they are not worried about, then they will like Hippomenes toss some thorny crab apples* to distract the nattering classes in India.

I generally don’t place a time scale on who is ahead or who is behind and by how many years in this “Game of Nations”.

Hippomenes distracting the speedy Atalanta to win the race and also her hand in marriage

Any suitor, who wanted to win speedy Atalanta’s hand would have to beat her in a race and if they lose, they would lose their heads.

Look instead at Pockets of Comfort created within your immediate environs.

What is the experience of an ordinary salaried family to living in this bee-hive?

I will even wager one of my shares in JD. Com ( a Chinese MNC) that most Chinese are not even bothered to see, if India is “lagging” behind them.

Well for starters, “Vishwa Parihasa ” must run at a ‘faster’ pace than “Dung Po Pew ”.

Many lost their heads, as they looked behind to see if Atalanta was gaining on them . Hippomenes was given a head start by Atalanta.

How long would it take for “Vishwa Parihasa ” to catch up with “Dung Po Pew”.
