SECURITY FIRST




These are 3 excellent examples of Indian fuse panels. Not only that a fise a simple wire is used but the open wires and contacts are easely reachable by kids and others not aware of the danger. Of course and secury label or the ramrk DANGER is missing.

DAILY ENCOUNTERS XI- TWO OF THE BRAVEST


In the middle of the as usual very dense traffic at Karve Road in Pune installing a ladder on top of the flexible roof of a so- called car and trying to repair ( I really hope this was not 220 V there),some signal or data communication cables.
This is not just brave, this could also be seen as an act of suicide.

GURGAONS MISSING SEWAGE



In some of the main roads the city "forgot" the installl sewage tubes. The effect ist that the waste water loaden with excrements of companies and call centres has to be pumped out illegely in the very late evening and dumped into a brook. Of coarse the smell is terrible and the wild swines and underpriviliged people living in closest vicinity disperse the bacteries in the whole area.

Delhi's Pollution


Although Delhi has some green lungs and I always thought that because of that it was less polluted than e.g. Mumbai of Pune.At sunrise there is a thick broad layer of black colored particulates and soot covered by a brownish orange layer of NO2 (Nitrogen Doxide). This morning there was no wind, so this was for sure no dust and what is worse, this was in the early morning after a regular weekend. That means that the pollution did not move over night and keeps the city in his tentacles day and night
