Since the day i have been here , i have tried to compare french to Indians and France to India .Why are french much more efficient than Indias despite the fact that they work exactly 35 hours a week .
Though i must state intially that i have had very little contact with french and MOST my knowledge about them is second hand , still i have interesting comments to make about Indians , and french . I plan to present it in form of a series of letters ( I have a lot to say )...Here is the first one !!
Few very interesting observation and facts about french ,and my extrapolations.
1. The sex ratio in France favour females
means gals r more frustu then guys .They can tear you down with their staring eyes .( good hunting ground for bugs and alike )Ladies are always well dressed and made up but the guys are always shabby …and i havent seen many guys wearing prssed clothes and suits.In France ( contrary to world average ) ladies spend more time in front of mirror then men .
2. There have been five republics declared in France
and there are talks about a sixth one .French are never sure of what they are doing or how things are going on .After every time power has changed hands , french have found themselves in similar hands. According to Kim , she met a history students who tried to prove that after every revolution and during it, it was peasants and clergies along with the rulers who were killed and eliminated but the upper class had remained same .Infact all the powerfull men in France even today , are direct decendants of the same upper class people who were influencial in 18th century .I cannot confirm on this but i have reasons to believe it .
3. Average french people are very simple and even fools
its true .you dont need to be a bihari to bend them. Playing games to them is very simple, given the fact that they cannot concieve and wdnt realise.But it also means that once they start following some rules , its inconcievable for them to find exceptions.These rules are made by same upper class guys who r in power .
4. The french have a complex education system
not many people persue quality education.Reasons are simple .They dont need to .The rules and provisions are framed in such a manner that you dont have to fight for a quality life as in India , and hence no desire or insentive to try to rise .BUT ? they have have a structure in education system seperating a few colleges from others and calling them supirior (something like IITs ) .A student from these grand college in 90% cases rises to top posts and power positions in France, and 90% of top post , bosses , bureaucrats and polititians are FILLED from these " grand ecoles " .( extrapolating on these two 90% scores means only people from these places reach the top and all of them reach the top )And add to it a fact that good families ( mostly upper class ) have a tradition to send their kids there .Means families in power remain in power .Also ,Your first salary and your growth has direct relationship to the college you come from .
5. French are very proud to be french
and for them its the only way to live , infact they cannot imagine or have never tried to think about anyother form of society and place.They dont travel outside France much , south of France is best possible holidays .They ask ... y do you want to go to switzerland ?...Y do you have to eat vegetables ?..... y do you eat food with hands ?.....y cant i sleep with my girlfriend in her fathers presence ? ?….now i can see that Marie Antennoaite was not a fool when she said : " y dont they eat cakes if they dont have breads "....she was simply bieng french ! !
6. French really care about humans
for example a bus is not a bus …its a vehicle which carrys 40 human lives and hence by all senses has greater priority then all other road vehicles .And that says it all .
And i still havent figured out , why do they marry ?? Joinning there assets ...and lowering their taxes?? ...doesnt seem to be good enough reasons to eat the most dangerous laddoo called marriage .
neways ....
wait for more ...
