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

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.

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.

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

Which scene is considered the most difficult to watch in each of Quentin Tarantino's movies?

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.

Zeno’s answer: NEVER.😫

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

What’s wrong with anti-imperialism?

Peace and good luck to all.

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

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

Why would an older small breed dog become obsessive about hygiene?

Hospitals

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.

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

Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

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.

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.

Why is digital marketing important?

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

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

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.

If we do not know the name of the father of a child, e.g. a foundling, an illegitimate, etc., then to whom should the bin or the binti of the child's name be applied?

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

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

Some Examples

What would you change in Rings of Power?

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”.

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

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

Why are Indians so influenced by the Western culture, when the Indian tradition has so much to give?

ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.

Banks

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

Would you let your son wear leggings to school?

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

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

Not true in many other areas of the country. 🙄

What are examples of real life forced feminization?

Space race- Technology in general.

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

High rise in China below:

Family scapegoats with years of healing: what events or thoughts precipitated your full acceptance of your family's narcissistic dynamic? Can you share your inner thoughts as you reached it? How do we know when we have reached full acceptance?

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.

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

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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

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.

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

Where did Kamala Harris learn how to change positions so quickly? Did she learn it from working in the world's oldest profession?

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

Malls and Cinema Metroplexes

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.

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?

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

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

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

Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. 🙄

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.

Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno

So, here is my proposition.

You were “Waiting for your “Dough”

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!

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.

What is so magical about 30?

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Don’t compare, Don’t Complain.

D-Marts etc.

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.

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

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

Would that be logical? Yes!

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. 🙄

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).

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

That is all that matters really.

Give yourself an applause here. 👏👏👏

Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.

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

Apollo… Yashoda

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.

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.

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

Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.

This begs the question.

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?

Give yourselves a round of applause. 👏👏👏

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.

There is the Greek Philosopher Zeno’s paradox.

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

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.

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

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.
