Over the last 24 hours, my attempt to highlight class discrimination as a space-agnostic phenomenon has been hailed as a classic example of unethical, click-baity journalism, or even worse, a cheap publicity stunt. It was none of this.
Once you sign up for a celebrity-driven destination ‘event’, you are held hostage for three days that test your sanity and stamina, unless you are Ranveer Singh, who always looks like he is having the best time.
Order for 87 MALE drones will be split between 2 Indian firms in 64:36 ratio to ensure there are 2 independent manufacturing lines with at least 60% indigenous components.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
As a student of architecture who has studied green walls and their various examples within and outside of India, I highly doubt that these so-called “vertical gardens” will have any effect on Delhi and its pollution and/or temperature, as is being claimed in this article. For starters, these aren’t vertical gardens, just tiny plants that are arranged vertically on walls. I have personally seen these very plants die out, only to be replaced by another plastic cup with another tiny plant. The way I see it, this is just another example of our city and our country trying to ape technologies that are engineered for the west (without thinking them through) in the goal to create a “world-class city”. (And it’s not like successful vertical gardens and facades haven’t been created in India – they have) Also, how did no one object to the environmental impact of the colossal amount of plastic that is being used in these “gardens”?
