Never understood what it meant, but now in the winter of my years, I now realize what that means. đ
So no harm for Indians to âcopyâ the technology obtained by sweat and tears and expense of billions of dollars or rubles over decades by the big Two.
Here it is an Eco-system where both Dung and Vishwa seem to be competing for the race to the bottom of the well. đ
Space race- Technology in general.
Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. đ
China did that and still does that too. And I canât understand complaints by the US and Russians here.

Not true in many other areas of the country. đ
Nemawashi: Small incremental improvements, that make your daily experiences better in whatever âEcosystemâ, you have to interact with.
So, here is my proposition.

Would that be logical? Yes!
Iâve heard this proverb before: Fools build Houses and Wise Men live in them.

There is the Greek Philosopher Zenoâs paradox.
High rise in China below:
Any Bank in an urban setting, used to be the equivalent of the famous play by Samuel Becket âWaiting for Godotâ, except back then in India, decades ago.
The other factor is TIME. This is where the paradox comes in.
Malls and Cinema Metroplexes
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.

Now for some areas of discomfort.
D-Marts etc.
Hippomenes won the hand in marriage of Atalanta following a running race by distracting her by tossing âgolden applesâ whenever, he thought, she was gaining on him.

India has a space program that seeks to reap military as well as civilian benefits in this so-called race which there is none.
Instead of giving GDP numbers, GDP/Capita and all those Statistics to make you feel good or bad, I decided to answer Nagarajan Sirâs question in the form of a long meandering discourse.
It is the same situation, when I learn Newtonâs Laws or Calculus. I can freely learn it without breaking much of a sweat. Use some elseâs Gyanodayam for literally free.
Where are the gay people in India?
Another Eco System, where you donât have to apologize. đđđ
Excellent staff from all over India. Amazing competence and professionalism shown by all from Doctors to Nurses to technicians, even the lift staff. đđđ
Any suitor, who wanted to win speedy Atalantaâs hand would have to beat her in a race and if they lose, they would lose their heads.
Your Corner D-Marts gave me the same âexperienceâ as any that I had in Japan, China or Korea.
The model that prompts such a question is based on a âCircus Maximusâ 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.

Why are the democrats keep insisting that there are more than two genders?
Malls and Cineplexes in the US are dying⊠and descrepit (Thank you Amazon and Netfix) ⊠So experience wise, you folks have it good. đđđ

Brevity is the soul of wit, but what can I say⊠Verbosity is the soul of a Twit. And I admit to being Verbose.
Thanks for the request Nagarajan Sir. Sorry for the delay, it is tax filing time.
Again, in any urban setting in India, the Malls are an eco-system as good as any experience in China.
Another Example from Greek Mythology: Hippomenes and Atalanta race. [This is a warning to my country, the USA, really]
Anyone, who looks behind to see whoâs 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.
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. âExperienceâ is the key here.
Hospitals
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.
Afterall, Whatsapp, FB, mobile smart phones, have all helped us interact as well as avoid pesky and nosy neighbors and relatives.

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!
Not many will agree with Zeno, because he is a Mlechha Yavana Barbarian.đđafter all.
They, in turn, have eyes only for the Good Ole USA.
Give yourselves a round of applause. đđđ
How long would it take for âVishwa Parihasa â to catch up with âDung Po Pewâ.
Zenoâs answer: NEVER.đ«
So, if China were at all worried, like Hippomenes, that India would overtake them in this âraceâ that they are not worried about, then they will like Hippomenes toss some thorny crab apples* to distract the nattering classes in India.
Donât constantly engage in below the navel gazing, if you know what I mean and most of all Donât Complain; or at least not so much.
Poka Yoke: Make the design of the systems, so that even âvillage idiotsâ (there are many) wonât be able to make things worse in the Eco-system and ruin your experiences.
This so-called race is in my opinion, a Phantasm, that only exists in peopleâs 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.
ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.
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).
China is a polity; India is a polity. So far so good.
Peace and good luck to all.
But is this what we want to emulate? I donât know the answer to that?
Maybe I should Poka Yoke and Nemawashi my writings as well. đđ
Hippomenes distracting the speedy Atalanta to win the race and also her hand in marriage
Well for starters, âVishwa Parihasa â must run at a âfasterâ pace than âDung Po Pew â.
These Airports are an Ecosystem, where Iâm far more âcomfortableâ and have a more âpleasurable experienceâ than at La Guardia Airport or JFK Airport in New York $hitty. (misspelled intentionally).
Also, what does âAheadâ and âBehindâ really mean?
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 is so magical about 30?
That is all that matters really.
Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.
What is it that you folks wants to âCatch upâ here??? Just asking not telling.
And it does not matter, if the technology was invented in Timbuktoo, Africa. Copy Paste, Repeat.
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.

So what Iâm suggesting is that rather than constantly comparing and tearing oneâs clothes in agony, employ what the Japanese call âNemawashiâ and Poka Yoke
Housing: When I land in Hyderabad and travel through Cyber City, I feel like Iâm in China.
This begs the question.
I generally donât place a time scale on who is ahead or who is behind and by how many years in this âGame of Nationsâ.
Give yourself an applause here. đđđ
What is the experience of an ordinary salaried family to living in this bee-hive?
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 âperception of corruptionâ in nations, ranks both India and China about equal. So that seems about right. đ
AQI (Air Quality Index) Delhi and Beijing⊠stinks to high heavens. Equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes/day even for the non-smoker.
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 âlaggingâ 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?
Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.
But I thought, I would include it just for kicks and clicks. đ
Donât compare, Donât Complain.
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.
Look instead at Pockets of Comfort created within your immediate environs.
