And i assure you that I know well about Pirated books. If you are not convinced, let it be so. I'm convinced with my response.

China is well developed Country. China is obsessed with doing things in an astronomical scale. Even a child who knows about a country like China can say this and one need not be a part of the Chinese Government. For no reason China has become a developed country.

It's OK to call themselves this and that, because, they are entitled to do so. But let them be satisfied with that. No imposition or forcing their views on others.

Nowadays many budget travellers also have the option of staying as a house guest. This is really catching up in all metro cities and two tier cities.If you have a spare bedroom with bathroom facilities that you can rent out on a daily basis to tourists you can make a good income out of it . I have a neighbor who does this and she can do it depending on her own needs...

That's what my Chief Librarian in Vizag said. He's placing the order for new Books and he is in a better position to tell about the pirated books. During a conversation, when I pointed out the printing mistakes, he said so.

As I said, after Satanic verses, I stopped buying Books. About the other Books given in the list, I do not have an idea.
Almost all the Books in the list are available as pirated Books. May be with printing mistakes.

No doubt the Chinese are obsessed to be number one in everything but at times compromise on quality seen when they built and inagurated the tallest bridge which showed defects within the first 2 or 3 months...

That's a good addition. Chinese are always obsessed with Biggest, tallest and longest things. And the good aspect is, they never compromise with quality.

Yes. When I was in Hyderabad, I bought Satanic verses in the old market behind Charminar, known as Chandni Chowk. Since then , after I became a member in a library in Vizag, I stopped buying Books. Even there I found many of Jeffrey Archer's books loaded with spelling mistakes, clearly saying that they are Pirated Books.

I appreciate your views on Education. I agree with you it 's only through logical and analytical ways one can achieve this. We need such people with analytical mind. At the same time, I will not agree for Rationalism and Rationalists who ridicule others beliefs.

Wine tasting is a specialised job and in Switzerland , France and Germany they have courses conducted for them. It is a very sought after profession there although I am told very few are able to rise and become perfect ...I have attended a short lecture conducted by wine tasters at a vineyard in Germany and I was amazed to hear how intricate the course is and how sensitive ones senses need to be..
