Just came back from a long deserved vacation, starting from no other place but the UK, who ruled us for 150 years.Times changed, and the scene changes.It's such a fascinating experience, to see the Asians dominate and control every corner shop, become the mayor or hold high positions in the political and industrial circuit.
The rich and the famous, along with the undisciplined and reckless travellers to this part of the world, rushing to Harrods, occupying majority square inch of the exclusive venue and shopping for brands like Prado, Gucci, Rado and the likes ,just shows who is calling the shots.
We have a diaspora that has the Etiquette and the ones that are light years from that , yet living in harmony rubbing shoulders and relishing the Asian cuisines .We term it as snob value etc.but money talks, and that what prevails, at least for a brief period of time. With Brexit, it's gonna get worse.The racy London seems to have lost its charm and seems to be deteriorating, than the one seen a few years before.life moves on, people running underground, I mean the metros, money on their mind ,promoting the Chelsea Stadia and pushing souvenirs, the run of the mill London Eye view aka Hong Kong , and Singapore,and the area looking more like China town with Chinki eyes and Pounds spent on the materialistic pleasures that is making this country susceptible to foreign invaders economically and politically.The political debate, lack of a strong hand driving it, desperation to enter into JV agreements with China even in unexplored, areas of nuclear power plants just to stay afloat is a marked drift and change .The fight for supremacy in the race to outbid each other is creating pressure on the entire system and pushing it to the brink.
Moving over or under the English channel to Paris sent out a more vibrant signal but increased security,and the pleasure of having a peaceful holiday is missing.Is it the hostage crisis, the influx of immigrants, the racial hate campaigns which were subdued and are fast emerging? Are they sign of survival of the fittest , or just plain stress built up trying to resolve the complex maze, of issues created to a sagging economy.
Is the EU loosing its sheen? Is UK on the verge of a survival path, using ventilators to keep breathing. The fallout of Greece, Spain, Italy and many others close on heels is not an encouraging sign.The axis will tilt in favour of the dragon , which in turn is going to gobble up the rights of all human beings and will lead to breathing fire down the neck and loosing democratic values nurtured for centuries.
Every country is trying to find a foot hold in their own space, and if successful, will try to shift the focus and weight elsewhere. In this game plan , if the mathematics is not known and understood,its doomsday.If the game of chess is played real SMART one never knows what is going to happen next.If we see the trends in the middle east, we need not plan voyages to mars and moon as there will be enough and more craters on earth to explore than waste money going to the Moon , in a sagging economy !!
