There are new policies being talked about, and new colour-coded garbage bins being distributed. We live in a land of irony, where we promote world peace on the banks of a river we’re already choking to death.

I once saw a man peeing outside (and on) the walls of a free public toilet. On a recent trip to Bombay, I saw pieces of its famed vada paav floating in the sea opposite the Taj.

We see these things every day, and it’s so damn disheartening.
