Delhi has changed.

If San Jose, CA area is known as Silicon Valley because of it's high tech industry then Delhi is the city of bridges and construction.

There probably is no nook left in the city where one does not find construction happening. There can not be a bigger billboard screaming that this is the sign of prosperity. Who would have expected a sophisticated metro station in the middle of congested Chandni Chowk. Swelling with pride factor.

I can't aim no more.

After thousand hour wait at the carousel finally had all my baggage together and my bladder was at the verge of exploding and had to make a dash to whereelse .... mensroom.

In the rush did not realize; right when I relieved myself I realized, WTF!?!? In a country where the average height is probably 5'5" the urinals are located almost at 4' height. One has to know enough physics to compute the projectile's trajectory to find the right aim. And, me no good at this.

This was the first time I noticed this and it was stuck to my head and started comparing height of pretty much every thing that crossed my path *ahem* exceptions are always there. And, everything was higher than we normally find elsewhere.

Even taking a dump was a tip-toe affair considering the height. And, after all the intake you can imagine the number of visit takes an exponential upswing.

Disclaimer: Numbers may be exaggerated!
PS: I know I am kinda wierd to notice things like these but, what to do.
