My Dearest Delhi,
Let me start by telling you that I really do think you’re the best. You’ve been my home and there is nothing better than that. However, no relationship is complete without the occasional problems, complains and well, perpetual disagreements. I would just like to point out two things which have been bothering me lately. To get it off my mind and perhaps maybe you’ll listen and do something about it.
1. When will you weather stop having its mood swings?
Current Weather
Desired Weather
Honestly, I’m tired of dressing up warm on warm days and wearing not enough on cold days. This one day cold, one day warm business cannot continue like this. If you decide to have the coldest November morning of the season, make sure you do not follow it up with thewarmest November day of the season. This really doesn’t work. I hope you understand why. Yesterday (apparently 10 degrees in the morning), I dressed up nicely, sweater and all, only to find myself feeling hot all day. Today, I wore just a sweatshirt and damn, was it cold while in transit. Give your weather some chocolate and maybe it’ll feel better.
2. Can you please, PLEASE, have dividers in all your roads?
Without Divider
With Divider
I am just tired of endless traffic jams and incompetent foolish drivers. Since it would be impossible to get rid of he entire driving population of Delhi or get some sense into their brain, I think we need to make the change starting from us. Get dividers on all the roads, so that the dumbass drivers cannot go on the wrong side of the road, thereby blocking the other side of traffic. And not those plastic orange cones, please. So that drivers can just drive over them. Solid, concrete dividers. Would be perfect.
There a million more complaints that I really do want to write but I do not want to seem like one of those people. You know the kind who has a problem with everything everybody does? So I’ll keep it two here. I hope you consider my points seriously and do something about it asap.
With all my love,
Rukmini
In Delhi since 1986.
