It’s true, what you say about the overwhelming crowds and the filth in India. I think its part of the creaking socio-political-economic system and even as some people try doing their part in improving the conditions, sometimes its an astronomical challenge. Most people choose to simply live with it and try and find order in the chaos and happiness in the heart of darkness.
PS: I stumbled upon this post while researching Le Corbusier’s architecture. Being an Indian working with an international publishing house, I do come across similar observations from some of my colleagues, who come visiting. I always request them to try and see the half full glass, challenging as it may seem!

While much of you is true, one can’t help noticing the terrible state of Le Corbusier’s heritage. City dwellers may well be proud of their city but they do nothing to renovate the buildings and to keep the city tidy! A great gift that Indians are so careless about.. .

great pics. I thought that those were swings hanging in the old post office. Is the corbusier building for sale by any chance? That would be a great “fixer upper”. The roof conception is thrilling. Did you know about the building before hand or just stumble upon it?

Wow, great article. Take me with you next time you go I’ll sit side-saddle on your scooter.
