Lifestyle between India and US is narrowing

U.S is known for it good and wide free ways connecting across U.S. Even India is building good freeways, look at the Quadrangle project connecting New Delhi,mumbai, Chennai and Kolkatta. It is equivalent to U.S freeways with exits, rest area,proper signs,speed limits. Mumbai-Pune expressway is very impressive two, equivalent to U.S freeways. India is continuing to is build similar freeways current projects are North-South Corridor, East-West Corridor. I am sure as we continue to build such freeways we shall have similar freeway system as in U.S.A in years to come.

U.S is known for 911 emergency services, where on one call police,Ambulance, Fire fighters respond to people. Similarly 108 service came in India, where any body can call and police, ambulance respond quickly. This Service exists in Andhrapradesh, i am not sure about other states. I heard even Karnataka is adopting similar policy. I am sure all other states in India will develop such model.

In U.S we have Social Security System(SSN). Where based on one id all the history is being tracked like credit history, criminal history. Planning commission has recently announced UFID will be issued for all citizens in India as single tracking system similar to SSN in U.S. This is planned to be implemented by 2010.

Governments Initiative to develop airports on the public private partnership has resulted in World class airports in India. Airport in Hyderabad and Bangalore are developed with world class facilities.

Look at the health care system in India. There are very good hospital will all facilities, even people from across the world are visiting India for cheap and quality health care system.

In recent years we also see the rise of malls, multiplexes...like what exists in U.S.A. We also have all the major U.S fast food restaurants in India.

India signing the nuclear deal also opened up Nuclear power industry to foreign collaboration and technology.Nuclear power generation would help india bridge gap power needs. Hopefully there should be lesser power cuts in future.

We know still there is a long road ahead. I believe in next 20 years the lifestyle gap between U.S and India will be further narrowed.
