Thateron Ki Gali, Jaipur

What’s with Gurgaon?





Gurgaon could be looked upon in many ways. One of them may be described as a colourful painting, entirely man made, by different painters, thumping upon their ideology, be it money, expression or development.
                                     
                                         This means that the colours of the painting i.e the built, may not be synchronized or orderly. More importantly, their randomness is what makes the painting standout. And more so, the colour of green, pun intended, may be irrelevant. Because of the vividness of it, everyone wants to grab a piece of the pie. This makes life beautiful for the painters (building firms) to thump upon more and more.

Everything said and done, the thought behind it never comes out and hence, maybe, it can never become a habitat. It would constantly evolve into something new every moment and the users of the place would merely become units, as the place gains supremacy day in and day out. I think it would be sad when the user would be downsized to his object or place of use.

This is a tombstone at St. John's in the Wilderness. Its beautiful intricacies and level of detail is a perfect way to say goodbye. However, the kin would have wished, he hadn't gone. Ironically, however beautiful it may be, it never attracts admirers. Destined to be so?
