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

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.

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

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

What are some examples of a threat to democracy in India?

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

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

How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?

Peace and good luck to all.

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

That is all that matters really.

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. 🙄

Some Examples

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

Is it right to visit any shrine or tomb in Islam?

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?

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.

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

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.

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

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.

Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?

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

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

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.

This begs the question.

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

What is so magical about 30?

Does anyone wear see-through clothes to show off underwear?

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

Space race- Technology in general.

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.

Don’t compare, Don’t Complain.

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

They, in turn, have eyes only for the Good Ole USA.

NASA Science Community Budget Meeting POSTPONED - NASA Watch

What is it that you folks wants to ‘Catch up” 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.

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.

Which is the first MV you watched in Stray Kids?

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.

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

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.

Is it true that Jehovah's witnesses once thought the world would end in 1975?

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. 🙄

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

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

Why do wives cheat on their loyal husbands?

Zeno’s answer: NEVER.😫

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

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

What is every dictators biggest fear?

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”.

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

Give yourselves a round of applause. 👏👏👏

What great song was "ruined" once you really listened to the lyrics?

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

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

ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.

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

Banks

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

Not true in many other areas of the country. 🙄

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

Give yourself an applause here. 👏👏👏

Would that be logical? Yes!

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.

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

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.

So, here is my proposition.

Hospitals

D-Marts etc.

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

Malls and Cinema Metroplexes

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.

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

Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.

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).

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).

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

There is the Greek Philosopher Zeno’s paradox.

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

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

Now for some areas of discomfort.

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.

Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno

Apollo… Yashoda

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

High rise in China below:

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.

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.

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

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.
