India-Pakistan border tension (acted out) daily at Wagha

Notice the slightly off balance Pakistan Ranger at 1:49. The Pakistanis have
a better constructed gate. It does not wiggle as our does(at 4:06-4:08), but
the Indian one does looks a bit more grand and I guess human. It is grand
but somebody forgot their physics. For it to be that tall, and there being
more mass (the top curves) where the two sides of the gate come together, it
needed to have been better constructed, besides one must hold it higher to
choreograph a better slam. Other than the wiggly gate our guys look awesome.


I hope that engineers, industrial designers, and those who love clean
functioal design will have a say. Choreographers too. Perhaps one of our
choregraphers could choreograph a "waghacho" natch/dance. The Bicholim
bipto.

The New Year has begun. Back to work y'all. Me too.
