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.

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

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

Do Marines really not need sleep during combat training or in general? If this is true, how and why is this possible?

Malls and Cinema Metroplexes

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.

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

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

Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.

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.

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.

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

Now for some areas of discomfort.

Weight stigma isn’t just cruel — it makes losing weight harder - CNN

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!

Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno

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

Islam is definitely a very anti-LGBTQ religion, so why don't liberals ever stage pro-LGBTQ demonstrations at mosques or at the consulates/embassies of Muslim countries?

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

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.

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.

What are some tips for braiding a woman's hair on a date?

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

That is all that matters really.

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.

Why does my vagina and around my butthole itch? I don't have weird discharge and I'm still a virgin.

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.

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

D-Marts etc.

Why does Boko Haram attack its own Muslims?

This begs the question.

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

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.

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

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

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

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).

Cocaine Sharks: The Disturbing Discovery That’s Shaking Marine Research - Indian Defence Review

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

Don’t compare, Don’t Complain.

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”.

There is any scientific evidence that we live in a sphere. Why do others say that we lives in a flat Earth but there is no evidence that they have proven the existence of a flat earth?

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?

Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.

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

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

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.

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

Not true in many other areas of the country. 🙄

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

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

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

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).

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

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

Some Examples

Banks

You were “Waiting for your “Dough”

Space race- Technology in general.

What is so magical about 30?

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

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

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, 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.

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

Apollo… Yashoda

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.

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

Would that be logical? Yes!

Hospitals

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

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. 😁

Give yourselves a round of applause. 👏👏👏

So, here is my proposition.

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. 🙄

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

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

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

Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. 🙄

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

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

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

ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.

Peace and good luck to all.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Zeno’s answer: NEVER.😫

Give yourself an applause here. 👏👏👏

There is the Greek Philosopher Zeno’s paradox.

High rise in China below:

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

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

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.
