London and Mumbai

I moved to London about 4 months back. Now- the initial honeymoon period is over and it has become the daily routine.

London in many sense is similar to our own Mumbai- Tube reminds our local trains, Buses reminds me of our BEST buses. People are always in hurry similar to Mumbai. The system is also similar in many cases. But there are no short cuts in the system. This is the main difference what we have there and what advance countries. There is one process for everything and one has to follow that and can't really change it. That helps in keeping curses like corruption and bribery in control. That's the main advantage. Though- sometimes few system seem very stupid and ordinary e.g. their National Health system.

It's encouraging to see the economic progress our country has seen and we always feel very proud after reading about it in different medias including MaTa. At the same time- heart gets moved on after reading the sad suicides of farmers who couldn't repay their debts. It's harsh reality and counter opposite pictures of our country. I hope that our economic progress should help in encountering it. That's the one thing we should learn from advanced countries. Very ordinary man over here gets sufficient amount of money to take care of his daily expense. While in our country- it's very difficult to meet both the ends for many people. This leads to corruption, anarchy in the social system.

Hopefully, India will be economic power in coming years to eradicate this disparity. We all are positive about our future and we should be. If we don't then we can't achieve it. We all know that it's difficult task but not the impossible one. Hopefully, we will achieve it pretty soon!
