The only way the streets could have looked clean to/in the Western Eye. <br /><br />Spending crores and crores of rupees to create no tolerance zones for beggars (& pedestrians, in yr country, as I learned from yr horrifying accident) is the Capital's way of alleviating poverty (powerty). What genius!<br /><br />Also, yr post, especially the terrifying experience of forest, also put me in mind for Brecht's sincere poignancy,<br /><br />Ah, what an age it is <br />When to speak of trees is almost a crime <br />For it is a kind of silence about injustice! <br />And he who walks calmly across the street, <br />Is he not out of reach of his friends <br />In trouble? <br /><br />I wish each of us, on his/her countless excursions along the streets we do not own, are not out of reach of our friends in trouble, in Gaza, in Iraq, as they restore the homes they do not own..<br /><br />But with the American academies, it seems, these do not matter. The words are commodities too, as one says. adityahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078144194220301083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-46671393913847585462014-07-07T22:06:25.489-07:002014-07-07T22:06:25.489-07:00I hate to sully the clean slate on this one -- tho...I hate to sully the clean slate on this one -- those Autobahn engineers would have loved it -- but the first and third shots here...
