East west reversal syndrome!!

US and Europe

-People avoiding pizzas and fast food joints
-Making health insurance affordable and coverage on preexisting conditions
-Going green on all sectors
-Dumping gas guzzlers like Hummer
-Planned urbanization
-Avoiding pesticides and hormones, promoting organic and vegan, trans fat regulations.
-fighting childhood obesity and diabetes

India

-Fast food joints growing at a rate of 45 to 50 %
-Insurance companies competing for their slice of pie and boosting the health care costs
-Major part of energy needs is met by utilizing fossil fuels.
-Hummer going to Asia and similarly other high end cars
-Chaotic infrastructure development lacking vision.
-Fertilizer and chemical giants pumping their products to Asian market place
-As per WHO, India will lead childhood obesity by 2025

There is much more we can talk about…

With growing energy needs, poor infrastructure, carbon emission rates, over population with a growth rate of more than 1.3 % and formation of economic tiers with steep variances..

Can India still maintain its 7 to 9 % growth in the future?

India becoming a super power..Will that just be a dream?

All the ‘REAL’ dreamers please stand up!!
