This begs the question.
Maybe I should Poka Yoke and Nemawashi my writings as well. đđ

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.
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.
Well for starters, âVishwa Parihasa â must run at a âfasterâ pace than âDung Po Pew â.
Not the distant unheard of thunder from climes and places, thousands of miles away.
Another Eco System, where you donât have to apologize. đđđ
So, here is my proposition.
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!

Iâve heard this proverb before: Fools build Houses and Wise Men live in them.
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.

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

And it does not matter, if the technology was invented in Timbuktoo, Africa. Copy Paste, Repeat.
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.
China did that and still does that too. And I canât understand complaints by the US and Russians here.
Now for some areas of discomfort.
What is it that you folks wants to âCatch upâ here??? Just asking not telling.
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
But I thought, I would include it just for kicks and clicks. đ
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.

Space race- Technology in general.
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.
Some Examples
I donât know. I know that if I were young, my sex drive would plummet, Viagra or not.
Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. đ
Before Desi eyes go somber and tearful, let me explain.
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.
What is so magical about 30?
Zenoâs answer: NEVER.đ«
Another Example from Greek Mythology: Hippomenes and Atalanta race. [This is a warning to my country, the USA, really]
Donât compare, Donât Complain.
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.

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.
Nemawashi: Small incremental improvements, that make your daily experiences better in whatever âEcosystemâ, you have to interact with.
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.
Would that be logical? Yes!

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.
Thanks for the request Nagarajan Sir. Sorry for the delay, it is tax filing time.
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.
Hippomenes distracting the speedy Atalanta to win the race and also her hand in marriage
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.
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 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?
Let us assume that the Polity called âDung Poo Pew â is ahead of the Polity called âVishwa Parihasaâ in some mythical race.
Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.
Never understood what it meant, but now in the winter of my years, I now realize what that means. đ
That is all that matters really.
Banks
Afterall, Whatsapp, FB, mobile smart phones, have all helped us interact as well as avoid pesky and nosy neighbors and relatives.
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.
Many lost their heads, as they looked behind to see if Atalanta was gaining on them . Hippomenes was given a head start by Atalanta.
Malls and Cinema Metroplexes
Again, in any urban setting in India, the Malls are an eco-system as good as any experience in China.
How long would it take for âVishwa Parihasa â to catch up with âDung Po Pewâ.
ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.
Give yourself an applause here. đđđ
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
But is this what we want to emulate? I donât know the answer to that?
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.
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.
