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

Give yourselves a round of applause. 👏👏👏

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

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

Dollar General Sees Greater-Than-Expected Growth as Higher-Income Consumers Seek Value - PYMNTS.com

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.

Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.

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

What was your first impression of The Carter V by Lil Wayne? Did it feel like 2008 Wayne, when you heard the first few songs.

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

Would that be logical? Yes!

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

You were “Waiting for your “Dough”

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

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 much of lounge pianists playing is from repertoire, and how much is improvised?

Zeno’s answer: NEVER.😫

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.

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.

Can you name a female actress who has had bad timing or luck in her film career?

Malls and Cinema Metroplexes

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

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

Why is it that women are stronger than men nowadays?

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.

Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.

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

Did Leonardo da Vinci paint two Mona Lisas? Where are they?

That is all that matters really.

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

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.

Knicks-Pacers: 5 takeaways as Indiana eliminates New York, advances to 2025 Finals - NBA

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

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.

Artists get better with age, e.g., painting. Yet when it comes to pop music, the famous work tends to be written when musicians are in their twenties. So, why aren't Bob Dylan or the Stones banging out amazing tunes now?

Space race- Technology in general.

So, here is my proposition.

Now for some areas of discomfort.

One Molecule to Sleep and Wake: A New Brain Switch Discovered - Neuroscience News

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.

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

Do you agree with Pete Hegseth's comment that Obama created a moral divide between military and civilian life?

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!

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.

Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. 🙄

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

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.

Apollo… Yashoda

There is the Greek Philosopher Zeno’s paradox.

Why are details for questions here on Quora so limited? I have an account here on Quora and Yahoo Answers. I like discussing different subjects.

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

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

Banks

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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

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.

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

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

Peace and good luck to all.

Some Examples

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.

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

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.

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.

High rise in China below:

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

Not true in many other areas of the country. 🙄

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

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

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

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).

Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno

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”.

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

This begs the question.

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

Give yourself an applause here. 👏👏👏

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.

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

Don’t compare, Don’t Complain.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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).

Hospitals

What is so magical about 30?

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.

ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.

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

D-Marts etc.

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. 👏👏👏

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.

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