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

But I thought, I would include it just for kicks and clicks. đ
Another Eco System, where you donât have to apologize. đđđ
Hippomenes won the hand in marriage of Atalanta following a running race by distracting her by tossing âgolden applesâ whenever, he thought, she was gaining on him.
Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.
Malls and Cinema Metroplexes
Again, in any urban setting in India, the Malls are an eco-system as good as any experience in China.
What is the estimated number of people with an extra X chromosome?
Donât compare, Donât Complain.
Any Bank in an urban setting, used to be the equivalent of the famous play by Samuel Becket âWaiting for Godotâ, except back then in India, decades ago.
The model that prompts such a question is based on a âCircus Maximusâ 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.
Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?
There is the Greek Philosopher Zenoâs paradox.
Anyone, who looks behind to see whoâs on their heel. will befall the same fate as all the suitors of the lovely Atalanta in Greek Mythology, who was the fastest runner in the world.
Also, what does âAheadâ and âBehindâ really mean?
They, in turn, have eyes only for the Good Ole USA.
Space race- Technology in general.
I donât know. I know that if I were young, my sex drive would plummet, Viagra or not.
If there was only one man remaining on the Earth, would this be regarded as extinction?
Would that be logical? Yes!
Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno
This begs the question.
How can I fall asleep fast at night?
Housing: When I land in Hyderabad and travel through Cyber City, I feel like Iâm in China.
Instead of giving GDP numbers, GDP/Capita and all those Statistics to make you feel good or bad, I decided to answer Nagarajan Sirâs question in the form of a long meandering discourse.
What is so magical about 30?
It is the same situation, when I learn Newtonâs Laws or Calculus. I can freely learn it without breaking much of a sweat. Use some elseâs Gyanodayam for literally free.
China is a polity; India is a polity. So far so good.
The other factor is TIME. This is where the paradox comes in.
So what Iâm suggesting is that rather than constantly comparing and tearing oneâs clothes in agony, employ what the Japanese call âNemawashiâ and Poka Yoke
Let us assume that the Polity called âDung Poo Pew â is ahead of the Polity called âVishwa Parihasaâ in some mythical race.
Excellent staff from all over India. Amazing competence and professionalism shown by all from Doctors to Nurses to technicians, even the lift staff. đđđ
Which bands became massively popular for covering songs rather than recording originals?
Not true in many other areas of the country. đ
Maybe I should Poka Yoke and Nemawashi my writings as well. đđ
Malls and Cineplexes in the US are dying⊠and descrepit (Thank you Amazon and Netfix) ⊠So experience wise, you folks have it good. đđđ
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).
China did that and still does that too. And I canât understand complaints by the US and Russians here.
So, here is my proposition.
Since the Brits can't steer their oil tanker, what makes them think they can take on Russia?
Iâve heard this proverb before: Fools build Houses and Wise Men live in them.
What is the experience of an ordinary salaried family to living in this bee-hive?
Donât constantly engage in below the navel gazing, if you know what I mean and most of all Donât Complain; or at least not so much.
Before Desi eyes go somber and tearful, let me explain.
Zeno of Elea, born c. 495 BCâdied c. 430 BC
High rise in China below:
Senate expected to pass crypto bill without addressing Trumpâs investments - AP News
You were âWaiting for your âDoughâ
Hospitals
ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.
What happens when you need emergency surgery in countries with universal healthcare vs the US?
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 âperception of corruptionâ in nations, ranks both India and China about equal. So that seems about right. đ
These Airports are an Ecosystem, where Iâm far more âcomfortableâ and have a more âpleasurable experienceâ than at La Guardia Airport or JFK Airport in New York $hitty. (misspelled intentionally).
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.
Never understood what it meant, but now in the winter of my years, I now realize what that means. đ
So no harm for Indians to âcopyâ the technology obtained by sweat and tears and expense of billions of dollars or rubles over decades by the big Two.
Nemawashi: Small incremental improvements, that make your daily experiences better in whatever âEcosystemâ, you have to interact with.
How long would it take for âVishwa Parihasa â to catch up with âDung Po Pewâ.
Afterall, Whatsapp, FB, mobile smart phones, have all helped us interact as well as avoid pesky and nosy neighbors and relatives.
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.
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!
Give yourselves a round of applause. đđđ
But is this what we want to emulate? I donât know the answer to that?
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.
Banks
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.
D-Marts etc.
Give yourself an applause here. đđđ
Hippomenes distracting the speedy Atalanta to win the race and also her hand in marriage
And it does not matter, if the technology was invented in Timbuktoo, Africa. Copy Paste, Repeat.
Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.
Brevity is the soul of wit, but what can I say⊠Verbosity is the soul of a Twit. And I admit to being Verbose.
Now for some areas of discomfort.
Look instead at Pockets of Comfort created within your immediate environs.
Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. đ
Apollo⊠Yashoda
Another Example from Greek Mythology: Hippomenes and Atalanta race. [This is a warning to my country, the USA, really]
Zenoâs answer: NEVER.đ«
Your Corner D-Marts gave me the same âexperienceâ as any that I had in Japan, China or Korea.
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. âExperienceâ is the key here.
So, if China were at all worried, like Hippomenes, that India would overtake them in this âraceâ that they are not worried about, then they will like Hippomenes toss some thorny crab apples* to distract the nattering classes in India.
Poka Yoke: Make the design of the systems, so that even âvillage idiotsâ (there are many) wonât be able to make things worse in the Eco-system and ruin your experiences.
Any suitor, who wanted to win speedy Atalantaâs hand would have to beat her in a race and if they lose, they would lose their heads.
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 âlaggingâ behind them.
What is it that you folks wants to âCatch upâ here??? Just asking not telling.
Many lost their heads, as they looked behind to see if Atalanta was gaining on them . Hippomenes was given a head start by Atalanta.
This so-called race is in my opinion, a Phantasm, that only exists in peopleâs 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.
Not the distant unheard of thunder from climes and places, thousands of miles away.
Beyond that how logical would it be for one to pick a number based on the number of trips, the Planet Earth makes around the Sun?
That is all that matters really.
Thanks for the request Nagarajan Sir. Sorry for the delay, it is tax filing time.
I generally donât place a time scale on who is ahead or who is behind and by how many years in this âGame of Nationsâ.
Peace and good luck to all.
India has a space program that seeks to reap military as well as civilian benefits in this so-called race which there is none.
AQI (Air Quality Index) Delhi and Beijing⊠stinks to high heavens. Equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes/day even for the non-smoker.
Not many will agree with Zeno, because he is a Mlechha Yavana Barbarian.đđafter all.
Well for starters, âVishwa Parihasa â must run at a âfasterâ pace than âDung Po Pew â.
Here it is an Eco-system where both Dung and Vishwa seem to be competing for the race to the bottom of the well. đ
