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

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

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

Excellent staff from all over India. Amazing competence and professionalism shown by all from Doctors to Nurses to technicians, even the lift staff. 👏👏👏

Why is Donald Trump criticized by so many people?

AQI (Air Quality Index) Delhi and Beijing… stinks to high heavens. Equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes/day even for the non-smoker.

Zeno of Elea, born c. 495 BC—died c. 430 BC

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.

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

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).

So, here is my proposition.

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.

Do you like to wear a see-through skirt?

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.

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.

What is it that you folks wants to ‘Catch up” here??? Just asking not telling.

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

Would that be logical? Yes!

Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.

You were “Waiting for your “Dough”

What are Best Breakfast Places in Pune?

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

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

Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno

Is it possible for sociopaths to feel genuine remorse for their actions or thoughts towards others, even if they are skilled at hiding it from others?

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

Don’t compare, Don’t Complain.

What is so magical about 30?

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.

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

D-Marts etc.

Why do some women alter their faces by so-called cosmetic surgeries (on their eyes, cheeks, lips, chin, jaw) that making them look like Donald Duck or puffy aliens, while for most men these unnatural facial changes are ridiculous or even disgusting?

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

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

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

What are some things that children used to wait for, but are no longer common in today's society?

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

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

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.

Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?

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

Another Example from Greek Mythology: Hippomenes and Atalanta race. [This is a warning to my country, the USA, really]

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

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

Malls and Cinema Metroplexes

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.

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.

Do you as a gay male enjoy the feeling of getting a penis in your anus?

Space race- Technology in general.

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. 🙄

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

Housing: When I land in Hyderabad and travel through Cyber City, I feel like I’m in China.

Not many will agree with Zeno, because he is a Mlechha Yavana Barbarian.😂😂after all.

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.

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”.

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.

Apollo… Yashoda

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

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.

Give yourself an applause here. 👏👏👏

There is the Greek Philosopher Zeno’s paradox.

Here it is an Eco-system where both Dung and Vishwa seem to be competing for the race to the bottom of the well. 🙄

China is a polity; India is a polity. So far so good.

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

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!

ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.

Zeno’s answer: NEVER.😫

And it does not matter, if the technology was invented in Timbuktoo, Africa. Copy Paste, Repeat.

Give yourselves a round of applause. 👏👏👏

Not the distant unheard of thunder from climes and places, thousands of miles away.

Hippomenes won the hand in marriage of Atalanta following a running race by distracting her by tossing “golden apples” whenever, he thought, she was gaining on him.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

Poka Yoke: Make the design of the systems, so that even “village idiots” (there are many) won’t be able to make things worse in the Eco-system and ruin your experiences.

Not true in many other areas of the country. 🙄

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.

Anyone, who looks behind to see who’s 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.

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).

This begs the question.

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

Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. 🙄

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

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

That is all that matters really.

High rise in China below:

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.

Peace and good luck to all.

Some Examples

Never understood what it meant, but now in the winter of my years, I now realize what that means. 😁

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

Your Corner D-Marts gave me the same “experience” as any that I had in Japan, China or Korea.

Now for some areas of discomfort.
