China!!! thru my Eyes

Recently i went to the world's biggest economy - China,This is not a typical travelogue but just wanted to share few things to show what right attitude can do good for the people or for that matter to the whole country ,Frankly i didn't had that big expectation about China,i was astounded to see the kind of massive infrastructure they have built.Then i realised the importance of "dreaming big"- as said by Dirubhai Ambani.
Above one is the maglev train station connecting to Pudong Airport

Before coming to China i was under impression that European countries are sparsely populated & thats the reason they are able to maintain such a dirtless ,clean environment,When i saw china I was taken aback & it was proved that my reasonings were just an illusion,The roads were so clean,No pollution,Cool people,eager to help in spite of language barrier,Frankly for few days i was little upset with our own country's development.am afraid to say that may be we have missed the train.Having said that every country has its own pros & cons.Good thing about China is they have taken the pros of the whole world & have adopted for themselves.And this is a continuous process.Now they are very keen in learning English which is the only barrier for them to gain supremacy in the field of IT.How many of us know about software parks in China but they know about Bangalore. It's shows not only the government's attitude but also the people's.When it comes to leveraging the opportunity i think China has outreached India,Iam not speaking ill about India but still this is the fact.We waste much of our valuable time in playing dirty politics.SEZ-Special Economic Zone has been successful only in few countries & no doubt China is one of the countries which has started reaping the benefit.They target each province(may be equivalent to 3-4 districts) & develop them with all basic infrastructure in less than 7 yrs.For example Guandong is one of the province.The place where i stayed called Pudong was just an open land surrounded by waters 10 years before,Now many sky scrappers of Shanghai are only there & the worlds most speed est train(Maglev) runs there.It reaches the InternationalAirport in a jiffy(30 kms covered in 8 mins).Is this not possible in India?We have plans & it willremain as plans for another 5 years(minimum).

So, it's a proven fact again & again,Its only the attitude which determines one's destiny.It applies to an individual & also for a country.Though we have everything still we are not the best ,it's because of many reasons & attitude in one among them.It was an inspiring trip for me.Hope the above would have also been inspirational to you.Let's start growing as an individual with right attitude & spread the same message across our known/dear one's (to start with).

Thanks to the nature of job which is taking me to new places( don't know how long i'll be thanking-Just Kidding!!!),So Iam moving to Kolkata next week,So will be there for 2-3 months,have planned to travel North East,Will be back with some latest happenings around me
