The Harmony express raced 1,100km in less than three hours on Saturday, travelling from Guangzhou, capital of southern Guangdong province, to the central city of Wuhan. The distance of 1,100 kms between Guangzhou and Wuhan is the same as between Mumbai and Delhi. The fastest train on that Indian line is the Rajdhani. It takes 18 hours compared to China’s 3 hours.

The political leaders are criminals and crooks? Yeah, but India is a democracy! The children are malnourished? Yeah, yeah, but India is a democracy. Trains barely average 30 kms an hour? Sure, but India is a democracy. The most illiterates in the world? Never mind that, because India is a democracy. Liberalization of the economy is dragging on and the people are in economic shakles? So what, India is a democracy. Country being divided along religious and caste lines that is socially destabilizing and ruinous? Not an effing big deal because India is a democracy.

Can I simply have a book to read please?
“…you can’t read the electronic book you buy from one store on a device supported by a competing store. Similarly, you can’t read e-books you borrow from your library if you don’t have the right kind of device. And there’s a chance you won’t be able to read the e-books you buy today on the e-book reader you own several years from now.
Does anyone in the books business realize how dumb this is? Seems not. Because just when the situation seemed to be getting better, it suddenly got worse.”

With autism, as with many medical diagnoses — like hypertension and obesity — the boundary lines are drawn as much by culture as by nature. Dividing up the workings of the mind is not as neat and orderly as categorizing species.

They thought that what they could see from the top of their camels is all that the universe was. Nope, the world is much bigger. Other people have other ways of living and thinking. Believing that the entire world was just a huge freakin’ desert where everyone must do everything exactly the same way is retarded and unimaginative.
