Women safety and urban planning - response to twitter chatter

HELLO TWITTERATI, DENIZENS OF THE WORLD! IN RESPONSE TO THE CONTENT ACCESSIBLE BY THE FOLLOWING URL
https://twitter.com/thedhruvarora/status/393640551683084288
MY RESPONSE IS THUS (YOU MAY OPEN THE PAGE ACCESSIBLE FROM THE ABOVE IN NEW WINDOW):


LET'S STRAIGHTAWAY BEGIN WITH DRISHTAANT OR EXAMPLES.
A PLACE LIKE DWARKA AFFORDS ANONYMITY TO ALL. IT'S MOSTLY GRID IRON WITH GATED COMMUNITIES OR GATED SOCIETIES OR GATED HOUSING. THERE IS NO INTERACTION SPACE BETWEEN ONE SOCIETY AND ANOTHER. TO GO FROM THE SOCIETY TO THE MARKET, ONE NEEDS A VEHICLE. WHAT KINDA PLANNING IS THIS? IT'S SKEWED VISION. DWARKA WAS PLANNED PROBABLY BY DRAUGHTSPERSONS. THE POINT IS WHAT? THE POINT IS THAT THE PEOPLE AT THE HELM OF AFFAIRS ARE THEMSELVES INCOMPETENT. EXAMPLE OF DWARKA IS BEING GIVEN TO STRESS THAT POINT. DWARKA IS RECENT. THEN WHY IS IT THAT YOU DON'T FEEL JOINTED BUT FEEL DISJOINTED, ANONYMOUS, NO FEELING ETC.? SO WE THINK THAT IT IS NOT AS MUCH OF A SUCCESS AT ALL AS SOME MAY MAKE IT OUT TO BE. YOU SEE, ON THE ISSUE OF SAFETY AND SECURITY OF WOMEN OR FOR THAT MATTER ANYBODY, JUST PONDER AS TO WHY IS IT THAT I COME OUT FROM THE SOCIETY GATE AND THEN I TURN 90 DEGREES AND THEN I WALK ON THE PAVEMENT AND THEN GO ACROSS ANOTHER SOCIETY AND THEN ANOTHER. WHERE IS THE PARK OR THE INTERACTION SPACE OR THE COMMUNITY CENTRE. IT'S THERE PROBABLY BUT FAR AWAY. WE DON'T THINK THAT IS WISE. THIS IS TO BE SEEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GRID IRON CONCEPT AND THE ACTUAL NORTH INDIA KAA CHARACTER CONCEPT. I MEAN YOU COME OUT ON THE ROAD STRAIGHTAWAY WHICH CAN HOLD ANY ANONYMOUS PERSON, HOOLIGAN FROM ANYWHERE IN INDIA. SERIOUSLY. AISE PLANNING NAHIN KARTE. THE PLANNING HERE IS NOT FOR THE PEDESTRIAN, IT IS FOR THE MOTORIST. AND THIS IS WRONG. KHAIR, THE POINT IS THAT THE PROPERTY DEALER MINDSET RULES ARCHITECTURE IN INDIA. DO YOU KNOW THIS? WE ARE NOT BEING CYNICAL AND NEITHER ARE WE LOSERS. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR KINDA FOLKS... WHERE ARE YOU GUYS, WHERE ARE YOU? IF WE BRAND THEM MOST PEOPLE AT THE HELM OF AFFAIRS AS DONKEYS, THEN WE ARE BRANDED AS LOSERS. THAT IS NOT FAIR. LIVING IN A FOOL'S PARADISE IS NOT THE SELECTION HERE, IT'S DESTINY. I MEAN MAIN KYAA KAROON YAARON? ANYWAY, WHEN YOU INTERACT WITH DDA, MCD, DELHI JAL BOARD, BIJLEE KAA DAFTAR ETC., YOU KNOW WHAT KINDA PEOPLE OCCUPY THESE CHAIRS. THIEVES. THE SAME KINDA PEOPLE OCCUPY CHAIRS IN THE DESIGN DEPARTMENTS. THEY DESIGN WITH JOURNALS ON THEIR WORKSTATIONS FROM WHICH THEY ARE COPYING STUFF RANDOMLY NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE COPYING FROM, FROM WHICH TIME PERIOD IT IS, WHERE IT SHALL ACTUALLY BE IMPLEMENTED ETC. ETC. DRAUGHTSPERSON BECAME URBAN PLANNER. THERE IS NO MERIT WHICH GOVERNS DESIGN, COTERIE GAME GOVERNS IT. SAD. ANYWAY, WITHOUT DIGRESSING, THE POINT IS THAT (ONE OF THE MANY POINTS) YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND PEOPLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER (ISN'T IT) TO AFFORD A SENSE OF SECURITY. I MEAN INSIDE THE SOCIETY GATE, IT IS FINE, AND SUDDENLY OUTSIDE YOU ARE VULNERABLE. WHAT KINDA PLANNING IS THIS? THIS IS JUST TO SHOW THAT THERE IS A PAAGALPAN IN ALL THE WORKS. PRIORITIES KAA PATAA HI NAHIN. ANYWAY, THIS WAS JUST TO STRESS UPON A POINT, A POINT THAT FOLKS, SORRY, BUT IT IS A HOPELESS SITUATION. PEOPLE SHOULD BE IN GROUPS ALL THE TIME AT MOST OF THE PLACES IN THE CITY. REALLY. THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL AND CERTAINLY MORE FOR WOMEN. I HAVE IN MY HEAD A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR CITY DESIGN IDEA BUT THE POINT IS NOT TO FORWARD MY CAUSE. AFTER ALL I AM ONLY B.ARCH. I AM NO URBAN PLANNER. UNFORTUNATELY, IF APTITUDE WAS THERE WHERE IT WAS REQUIRED, THEN CITY PLANNING WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BLAND AND NOIDISH OR GURGAONISH. I MEAN "YE LE .............. SEEDHEE SARRAK, YEH LE .............. KAR LE PLANNING. SEEDHEE SARRAK, LAMBEE SEE SARRAK, KHEENCH DE SARRAK NE (SARRAK KO). ISKE AAS PAAS GER DE. YEH LE HO GAYEEE." WAH BHAI WAH, WAH BHAI WAH. THE LONG NECK OF THE OSTRICH. PATAA NAHIN, HOW ELSE I CAN EXPRESS THE IMAGE IN MY HEAD IN TEXT.
THE DESIGN IN MY HEAD IS SUCH THAT EVERYBODY WILL BE SECURE, IT WILL BE A VIBRANT, CULTURALLY SWASHBUCKLING SOCIETY WHERE ALL THESE THICK SKULLED NEANDERTHALS WILL BE COMPLETELY AT A LOSS OF EXPLANATION. THEY WILL SIMPLY NOT BE RELATABLE TO THAT. THEY WILL LOOK LIKE OSTRICHES, CONSPICUOUS BY THEIR PRESENCE (THEY DO ALREADY) AND GO AWAY THEMSELVES. "CHAL YAAR YAHAAN DAAL NAHIN GALNE KI", SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HOPE MY IDEAS GET IMPLEMENTED, MAYBE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. IT'S ALRIGHT.
ANYWAY, THIS WAS ONLY ONE ASPECT. THE MORE PROFOUND ASPECT IS SIMPLY OF CORRUPTION. THE MORE PROFOUND ASPECT IS SIMPLY OF A LACK OF SHAME AND A LACK OF HONOUR AMONGST THE NORTH INDIAN AND WHEREVER THIS NORTH INDIAN HAS GONE. I AM MYSELF ONE. BUT I SPEAK GENERALLY. HONOUR. WHAT HONOUR? HONOUR IS WELL, SIMPLY HONOUR. IT'S YOUR UPBRINGING, IT'S YOUR OWN INTRINSIC MAKEUP, YOUR DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, YOUR ATTITUDE ETC. HONOUR. HMM.. INSTEAD OF HONOUR WHAT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED IS 'D-UH, ME NEANDERTHAL'. THEY HAVE DEVELOPED FALSE EGOS, STRANGE VALUES WHICH ARE SIMPLY NOT COSMOPOLITAN IN NATURE WHERE THEY BLAME THE DRESS OF THE GIRL AS THE REASON FOR THE CRIME. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY DISASTROUS. AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE FACULTY TO FATHOM THE SHOCK THAT WE FEEL WHEN WE HEAR THE DRESS OF THE GIRL AS THE TRIGGER. THEY THINK WE ARE ABSURD. SO IT IS SIMPLY ALSO THE PRESENCE OF THESE CREATURES IN OUR MIDST.
OK, IT IS ALSO (AND NOW I AM COMING TO THE POINT) THE LACK OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LOGICAL RULES AND CONVENTIONS. LET US ASK THESE AUTHORITIES. WHY HAVE YOU ALLOWED THE MUSHROOMING OF COMMERCIAL SETUPS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS? INSTEAD OF DOING AWAY WITH THE ONES THAT HAD FORCIBLY COME UP, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY GRADUALLY ALLOWED SOME, THEN SOME MORE, THEN SOME MORE. SO WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE. I AM TELLING YOU. WHO SAID DELHI IS A COSMOPOLITAN PLACE. IT IS NOT. IT IS TEEMING WITH CRIMINALS FROM THE NEIGHBOURING STATES WHO LOOK AT DELHI AS A WHORE. THEY BRIBE THEIR WAY. AND THEN THEY BRIBE BIGGER. AND STILL BIGGER. AND THEN IT ULTIMATELY TAKES THE FORM OF POWERFUL LOBBIES HELL BENT ON CRIMINAL INTENT. SO WHAT SHINGLES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? OUR TALK IS HAILARIOUS TO THEM. THEY HOLD ALCOHOL IN THEIR HANDS, THEY WATCH SHABAAB IN THE NIGHT IN THEIR COMMERCIAL CENTRES OF DELHI (DID YOU KNOW THAT? AFTER 8 PM IN DELHI IT IS TIME FOR BOOZE IN THE COMMERCIAL CENTRES OF DELHI). THEY CONSUME ALCOHOL IN THEIR OFFICES. WAH. WAH. SO THESE ARE NOT GENUINE DELHIITES. SO DELHI DOES NOT BELONG TO THE TRULY ORIGINAL COSMOPOLITAN CITIZEN. IT IS TEEMING WITH PETTY CRASS CRIMINAL MINDED EVIL INTENTIONED SOMEBODIES. SO THESE POWERFUL LOBBIES HAVE MANAGED TO GET THE ILLEGALITIES LEGALIZED! SO THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ROOT SHALL BECOME EVIDENT. IT IS THE LACK OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ALREADY EXISTING RULES, CONVENTIONS (NO 1) AND NO 2 IS CORRUPTION. THIS MUSHROOMING OF COMMERCIAL SHOPS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS EXAMPLE IS BEING GIVEN TO STRESS HOME A POINT. SEE EVERYTHING ADDS UP. OK? ANYWAY, THE ANSWER TO YOUR CONCERN IS THAT IMPLEMENTATION HAS TO BE THERE. BUT MY FRIENDS, IT SHALL NOT BE THERE. BECAUSE I KNOW SIMPLY TOO WELL THE MINDSETS OF THE AVERAGE INDIAN. INDIAN IS LAZY. BELIEVE ME. INDIAN DOES NOT SUPPORT THE FELLOW INDIAN FIGHTING FOR THE GRASS ROOTS CAUSE. BELIEVE ME. INDIAN IS UNKEMPT. INDIAN PREFERS TO STAY UNKEMPT. DIWALI MEIN APNE GHAR KE BAAHAR RANGOLI KARNE SE TUM KEMPT NAHIN BAN JAATE. INDIANS DON'T HAVE SENSE OF PRIVATE SPACE, SEMI PRIVATE, PRIVATE PUBLIC, SEMI PUBLIC AND PUBLIC SPACE. THESE THINGS ARE NOT NECESSARILY TAUGHT IN SCHOOL. THIS IS A VERY BASIC SELF DEVELOPED TENDENCY, AS SIMPLE AS THAT. SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR FOOD? I DON'T THINK SO. UNKO PATAA HI NAHIN - "PUBLIC, PRIVATE, YEH KYAA HOTTAA HAI?" IN FACT THEY KNOW VERY WELL THAT IF THIS IS PUBLIC SPACE THEN THEY CAN VERY WELL ABUSE IT, AISE YAA VAISE. NO I DON'T WANNA DIGRESS. FURTHER, INDIAN IS A DEPRIVED MENTALITY BEING. INDIAN IS STILL EVOLVING. INDIAN IS STILL EVOLVING? RAPES AND CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN ARE THE RESULTS OF A DEFUNCT ADMINISTRATION WHICH HAS FAILED TO INSTILL AN ENVIRONMENT OF A WARM, CARING, AFFECTIONATE MILK, JAGGERY, HALDEE SOCIETY. RATHER IT HAS GIVEN A HERMAPHRODITE SOCIETY,  DEPRAVED MINDSET SOCIETY, A SOCIETY WHICH GLAMOURISES IDIOTIC TRIVIA LIKE YOUR BEST READ ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS. YOUR NEWSPAPERS GUSH AFTER THE WESTERN POWERS. YOUR NEWSPAPERS HAVE A FINITE MINDSET. OHOHO LET'S NOT DIGRESS; A SOCIETY WHICH IS UNNECESSARILY NOISY, IS HELL BENT UPON BELIEVING THAT CHHEENAA JHAPTEE IS THE WAY TO BE. NOW WHEN THE SAME PEOPLE ARE IN THE POLICE FORCE, THEN HOW DO YOU EXPECT A SWASHBUCKLING SOCIETY? MONEY RULES. THAT IS FINE. NO WHINING ON THAT. BUT A MONEY POSSESSOR IN ANOTHER LOCALE (COUNTRY) SHALL HAVE A MUCH POLISHED SENSE OF EVERYTHING THAN HIS INDIAN COUNTERPART. DON'T YOU THINK? SO RATHER THAN THE MILK JAGGERY AS I MENTIONED THEY ARE PROMOTING A PSEUDO CONFUSED LOPSIDED PRIORITY WAALEE SOCIETY WHERE THEY BELIEVE THAT IF THERE HAS TO BE GROWTH, THERE HAS TO BE INFLATION. WHY CAN'T THEY SIMPLY TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY AND PROTECTION RATHER THAN GROWTH. THEY ARE PROMOTING A PREDATORY SOCIETY. CATCH HOLD OF WHAT WAS JUST WRITTEN. "THEY ARE PROMOTING A PREDATORY SOCIETY, A SOCIETY WHICH FEEDS UPON THE MEEK AND THE LAW ABIDING AMONGST ITS OWN BRETHREN WITH SYCHOPHANCY (PAAKHAND)" THEY HAVE PROMOTED OR DEVELOPED AN UNWRITTEN JUNGLE RULE EVERYWHERE.....
WELL, I FEEL THAT IDEALLY, GROWTH CAN GO TAKE A WALK. I CAN IMAGINE THE MALINTENT ARGUMENT OF A CORRUPT MIND - "IF THERE HAS TO BE GROWTH THERE HAS TO BE INFLATION". SO INFLATION IS JUSTIFIED. ONCE AGAIN, NO DIGRESSING. COMING BACK TO THE POINT. THE LAW AND ORDER MACHINERY SHOULD BE EFFECTIVE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE COMMON MAN HAS TO FEAR THE CRIMINAL, THE COMMON MAN HAS TO ALSO FEAR THE POLICE. THE POLICE HARASSMENT CAN GO A LONG WAY. DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? SO THE ANSWER LIES IN FORMING SELF HELP GROUPS. I AM SERIOUS. THE ANSWER LIES IN PEOPLE POWER. SEE THIS IS WHY I SAID THAT THE AVERAGE INDIAN DOES NOT HELP THE OTHER LAW ABIDING INDIAN IN NEED. I THINK. HMM..
FURTHER: YOU KNOW EVEN OUR DEFENCE FORCES OFFICERS ARE NOW NOT OF THE QUALITY THAT USED TO BE THERE EARLIER. AND YOU CAN SHOOT ME DEAD FOR SAYING THIS BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH. I MEAN NOW WHO SHOULD BE LOOKED UP TO? SO WE'LL NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER AS THE INDIAN SOCIETY EVOLVES ITSELF INTO SOMETHING, WHAT EXACTLY I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE YOU ALL WILL BECOME LIKE YADAVAS OF THE POST KRISHNA ERA - POWERFUL AND NOT CONTROLLABLE. PATAA NAHIN. NOT CONTROLLABLE IMPLIES HERE THAT YOU WILL BE MORE OF A MARAUDING FORCE RATHER THAN A PROTECTING CARING FORCE. IMPLOSION? I DON'T KNOW. ALL EDUCATED RIGHT THINKING INDIANS MUST HELP EACH OTHER. IT COMES DOWN TO THE POLICE REALLY. WE SHOULD ALL BE EVER READY TO GIVE A BLOW BY BLOW RESPONSE TO THE POLICE. I DON'T WANNA DIGRESS, BUT I CAN'T HELP IT.
SOMEBODY SAID SURVEILLANCE. IDEALLY, WHY SURVEILLANCE SHOULD BE NEEDED FOR WOMEN SAFETY? BUT LET'S ACCEPT IT. THIS IS NOT RAM RAJYA. SURVEILLANCE IS NEEDED. BUT THEN CAN YOU TRUST OUR POLICE? THEY HAVE THEIR OWN WOES (POOR SALARY ETC.) BUT IT DOES NOT JUSTIFY THEIR ACTS , THEIR METHODS, THEIR STYLE. THEREFORE, I MENTIONED SELF HELP GROUPS. SO ARCHITECTURALLY SPEAKING, THE PLANNER SHOULD KNOW THAT ABUSE WILL BE THERE. PLANNER SHOULD KNOW THAT POLICE HIGH HANDEDNESS WILL BE THERE. THEREFORE, CITY DESIGN SHOULD BE SUCH THAT SOMEHOW EACH SQUARE UNIT AREA OF THE CITY IS ACCESSIBLE TO OR IS UNDER SOME SORT OF SURVEILLANCE MECHANISM. THAT MECHANISM COULD BE, COULD BE? CCTV CAMERA? NO, NO, NO. OK? WHEN I PRESENT TO YOU MY CITY PLANNING YOU WILL SEE HOW EVERYBODY IS PROTECTED, HOW THE CRIMINAL IS A LOSER, HOW POLICE BECOMES REDUNDANT (WOW! POLICE BECOMES REDUNDANT). MY CITY DESIGN IDEA OR CONCEPT HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE POLICE REDUNDANT BUT IT IS SUCH THAT THERE IS INTRINSIC PROTECTION PHYSICALLY PLUS MANY OTHER ASPECTS. ANYWAY, THAT IS FOR A "FRESH" CITY OR TOWNSHIP. ONCE AGAIN FOLKS, I AM NOT PROMOTING MY CAUSE. JUST LATCH ON TO WHAT I MENTIONED: EVERY SQUARE UNIT AREA OF THE CITY IS UNDER SURVEILLANCE MECHANISM OF SOME KIND. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CONJURED UP AS I WAS WRITING. C'MON, SOMEBODY FROM AMONGST YOU, GET UP, START DIVIDING EACH POSTAL CODE AREA OF THE CITY INTO SMALLER SUB AREAS, THEN FURTHER, THEN ASSIGN LOCAL PEOPLE FROM NEAR THAT AREA TO PATROL OR TAKE CARE OF THAT AREA. THEY WILL BE MARSHALLS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE THERE IN PHYSICAL FORM ALL THE TIME. DON'T BE LAKEER KAA FAKEER. EXPAND ON THIS IDEA. MAYBE CCTV'S SHALL BE NEEDED AT PLACES AND THEIR MAINTENANCE SHALL NEED TO BE PRIVATE. IS THIS FEASIBLE? TELL ME.
I'LL COME BACK HERE.

Kedarnath temple precincts - reconstruction after nature's wrath - Response to an article

An article appeared which is accessible via the link below. My response or comments to that article is below that. The article talks about the recent devastation in Uttarakhand, India and the fact that the Kedarnath temple which was much in the news did not get much damaged because of thoughtful construction. It talks about some efforts to rebuild the devastated state. My comments have appeared in that publication, and they are here too. :-)

The link to the article:
http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/thoughtful-construction-style-saved-kedarnath-from-serious-damage-a-month-since-the-uttarakhand-disaster-113071400510_1.html

My response:
The barrier that is being talked about may not be opaque completely. It could be a designed structure that could resemble a railing. This is to prevent the boulders from intruding. As far as the flood waters are concerned, there could be a provision of channels starting from before the temple facing the mountains and then going underneath the ground and turning at the same time so that they run along the sides of the temple complex. Hope this is possible. These channels will not be open to fall into but suitable railings shall be provided. Also, there should be terraces. Let this be an opportunity also to add terraces which are an intrinsic part of Hindu temples. So the channels will disappear at some point and there will be terraces above them. I write as I think. Never been to Kedarnath, only seen pictures and relying on description given in this article. I am saying that the reconstruction has to be seen as an opportunity to further beautify, but only vernacularly. Only funds should be provided by the Centre. The Uttarakhandis themselves shall design and rebuild. If my help is needed, we are only too eager. I mean that this should not be an opportunity for the construction mafia across the board to encash since they are only interested in lootpaat and gandagee. So many darn UPites have only tarnished the state. So many Haryanvis have gone there not to add on to the peace but to colonize with their demeanour. Punjab state has also used their heads and displaced Uttarakhandis from their lands and made them into drunkards. Anyway, to cut a long story short, what I am saying is that this is an opportunity for Uttarakhand itself to realise that outside interference in their state has only hurt their overall "state ambience", if I can use that term. I don't understand why they don't have police personnel of their own. They don't have to import traffic police from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. These imported louts do not understand the mountain spirit. "What's that?" They are destroyers of a kind, the ugly kind. They don't understand "innocence". Uttarakhand stands for "innocent cosmopolitanism" (goodness, been looking for a prefix with cosmopolitanism for Uttarakhand for a long time! - there, I coined something.) or really true cosmopolitanism. Saaf safaayee, upkeep, maintenance should be handled by Uttarakhandis themselves and not allow the marauders from Chhoraa Ganga Kinaare Wala or the lath maar from Haryana to uproot their culture. Yes, I have strong sentiments. Your crispness will further erode Garhwal, Kumaon. Be careful. So, coming back to design.
In so far as help from public enterprises is concerned, I don't know. Most of them have closed rigid skulls without much understanding of the fluidity or flexibility of anything. They have fixed ideas. You will notice that even when they talk green or sustainability, even there their ideas will appear suffocating and too harsh and you will subconsciously know that this is not what you need but overtly you wlll not know how to reject or criticise. I mean soft in their lexicon may actually be ghastly and ghostly, I’m telling you. Their thick skulls plunder you with rigidity and stiffness. You will get confused. Don’t let anything get imposed upon you. Therefore, Uttarakhand should take its own time in rebuilding and allow the organic process to take charge rather than force harsh, shortsighted, eyesore type decisions. I am serious, you may see unnecessary concrete stuff etc. The idiocy can go a long way actually, it's not only the concrete. Bamboo may be used for immediate temporary structures. (Bamboo? - not really delved into this really, is bamboo available in UK.?) Anyway, this opens up the design.
Coming back to the temple, someone rightly said that the journey is supposed to be tough, it is not supposed to be easy. This stems from common sense, I mean some things should not be touched. Some things should just not be touched. Tourism, tourism, to hell with your goddamn tourism. Handle the fallout of this frankenstein monster. Your land is ravaged. Your demography is getting changed. And you Uttarakhand do not realise the importance of retaining sanity in at least some part of India. Rebuilding and reconstruction should be only in your own hands. The centre should provide you with funds only and easily dismantleable temporary structures or shelters (environment friendly). Let this be an opportunity to tell the world that rebuilding the green way was accomplished like this or that or whatever! :-) You want me?, I'll come. My heart beats for the mountains, the mountain spirit. Thump, thump...

Section Through Roadside Eatery


Section Through Roadside Eatery
Section Through Roadside Eatery
      This is from 2006. This is an image of a section through the dining of a roadside eatery in West Delhi, Delhi, India. This roadside restaurant is entered from the left in the image. The ceiling is bent to allow for the exhaust fumes from the Barbeque to be expelled on the outside only, as much. The roof is the coloured metallic sheet (Galvalume) taking a cue from the ceiling, or being loyal (!) to the ceiling.
