let's agree to disagree, first. Now, when i was back in nepal, i used to think that now is the time for Eastern part of the world but my perspective changed when i moved to canada.
When we think Western world is at the epitome of technologybureaucracy trade socialcultural infrastructurural development and only few things are only left to fill up the vessel, you meet reality when you come here. When you see the scope of everything and it seems they have got more 300/400 years of work to develop themselves in every way possible with their current status.
Do i still think they will be done with power? and everything will shift within 2050? Oh my, my! Not a bit now.
Development will be everywhere but i strongly think Western have still got lot to be done and and hold their current influence in the globe and they will surely do everything to retain it cause they CAN*!!!
