Most of you will know already that Delhi is a city with a dubious reputation, that of one of the world’s most polluted cities. I think we were THE most polluted at one time. Now we’re just one of the most, perhaps the 11th most polluted in the world. Not that this ranking is anything to be proud of. Far from it.
What is alarming at the moment is that we are at the height of our brutally hot summer.
And many of the usual winter-pollution-culprits are not in the fray now and so we cannot blame them, as we […]

Like today.

There’s so much rubbish going on in the world at the moment, a fair amount of it right here in India I might add, that I have decided to ignore it all. Well, for one blog post at least.
Instead of ranting about the latest idiocy from Donald Trump, or the dangers of the air we breathe here in Delhi, or some equally depressing subject, I have decided to talk about my garden.
Far nicer topic.
