Delhi is expanding. You hear it in hum of construction around you. You
see it in the iron rafters jutting out of the earth at building sites
and the apartment towers that blot out the sky. Beauty? That’s only a
burden borne by relics of the past. As he leans against the walls of the

has become a city to be passed by. It’s developing in a way that has no
sense of containment or identity. Buildings here do not speak to each
other.”
