    :hello:very Indian.
    An old man I happen to observe at the entrance of a popular temple on an auspicious day where no care takers available for foot wear of devotees. On either side of entrance devotees were leaving their FOOTWEAR and it was a huge mess.

    He came with family of four. After all of them left their chapels, the old man took one from each pair and put them on the right of the entrance and the other as a heap on to the left of the temple.
    You know why?

    :hello:managing huge population in India is next only to China.
    A glance at Indian demography vs the world would give an idea how difficult to manage the ongoing second wave of covidIndia. I received this note from my friend facts unchecked:
    Check the demographics of the developed countries of the world and be startled.

    The population figures in crores go like this -
    USA - 33.1
    Russia -14.6
    Germany - 8.5
    Turkey - 8.4
    UK - 6.8
    France - 6.5
    Italy - 6.1
    Spain - 4.7
    Poland - 3.8
    Romania - 1.9
    Netherlands - 1.7
    Greece - 1.7
    Belgium -1.2
    Czech Republic - 1.1
    Portugal - 1.1
    Sweden - 1
    Hungary - 1
    Switzerland - 0.9
    Bulgaria - 0.7
    Denmark - 0.6
    This totals to - 105. 3 Crores
    The rest of the 25 smaller European countries combined (there are 44 countries in the European continent) - 6 Cr
    Europe - 105.3 + 6 = 111.3 Cr
    Adding the populations of Brazil (21.2 ) and Argentina (4.45 )
    111.3 Cr + 25.65 Cr = 136.95 Cr
    Thus, finally it is approx at lndia's population figure of 136 - 138 Cr.
    The implication of managing Covid19 in lndia is as enormous task as managing it, in the entire Europe plus USA, Brazil and Argentina.

    It's easy to criticise!
    This is how the message concludes about difficulty in managing second wave and waves of other nature!

    Comments like that can be viewed as recommending the breakup into manage'able independent republics. Like what happened to the USSR.

    This your post indicates that you are caught right now somewhere in Indian metro traffic bottleneck. Welcome to Bharat. Glad you are in your mother-land and presumably in HYD or Chennai. Pedestrians are on roads as illegal shop owners display their wares occupying entire side walk or platform.

    Usable road width reduced and hence traffic moves in snail’s pace. More over two wheelers men & young ladies with their entire family seen nicely manoeuvring, wading through cars and trucks & on sidewalks. Besides, customers of (illegal) shops on the narrow street, park their vehicles on side- walk and on street in front of shops. Thus add bottlenecks to steady non-flowing traffic.
