A Winter in India

Today we took the Metro (Delhi's very new subway) up to Old Delhi. After riding on the quietest, cleanest subway I've ever been on, you come up out of the ground into narrow lanes with buffalo carts, bicycle rickshaws and hand-pulled carts. The contrast is pretty stark. Old Delhi was the center of Indian culture in the seventeenth century, and you feel like you are glimpsing the way it looked then. Well, that is, except for the electrical wiring.

The wiring has been added to and added to for decades. Some gets cut off, but it didn't look like any actually gets removed, so wires are dangling and intertwining. Its at least reassuring to see that there is a national agency in charge of this wire netting (HaHa).
