Taken December 7, 2013 on Commercial Street in Bangalore.
This is one of the more ornate and less modern storefronts on Commercial Street.
Commercial Street is the heart of a market district in central Bangalore. It’s a short street that runs parallel to, and a few blocks north of, MG Road.
Taken October 15 in Delhi
Connaught Place is a bulls-eye in the heart of Delhi. The inner circle is Rajiv Chowk and the outermost loop is Indira Chowk. The name Connaught obviously goes back to India’s colonial past. It was named for the first Duke of Connaught, Prince Arthur. Today it’s a popular hangout, has one of the busiest Metro stations in the city, contains a keyhole shaped park, and is surrounded by many corporate headquarters. Careful though, it also has one of the highest concentrations of shysters and con men in the city.
Taken October 14, 2013 in Old Delhi.
This is the view roughly northward from the minaret of the Jama Masjid.
Taken October 14, 2013 on Chandni Chowk in Delhi.
The base of this statue of Swami Shraddhanand (1856–1926) is a popular point for feeding the birds. It’s located in front of the Town Hall building on Chandni Chowk.
Stiff iron trusses
skeletonize a building
outlining order
wind whistles over I-beams
flexing, moaning, and rising
Steel lugged upward
welded into false order
chaotic city
don’t pretend order reigns here
litter skitters on the wind
From: the Butterfly
To: the city residents
Sorry my flapping
caused the storm that destroyed your
lovely burgh. I didn’t know.
