Gurgaon
The bubble
bursts
Due to
lack of vision, poor planning, gross mismanagement and a
lackadaisical attitude of leaders as well as
administrators, the city of dreams has turned into an
urban nightmare, writes Sunit Dhawan |
|
The
rise of
Gurgaon as a "millennium city" from a small town
of Haryana, once referred to as the state’s backwater,
is a typical rags-to-riches story. Though, of course, not
with a happy ending, as it has turned into a tale of woes
for its residents.

Visual
symphony at T3
Delhi’s new
international airport terminal presents a unique Indian
impression to global travellers, writes Annie
Samson
From
caparisoned
elephants carved in sandalwood to spice packets that can fit in
your pocket, from special multi-hued granite floors to walls
adorned with giant mural art depicting every corner of the
country, the new international airport terminal here offers
travellers a best slice of India.
Date
with crocodile
A
drunk Australian
decided to pat a crocodile. Not satisfied with just that, he
went ahead and sat on the massive crocodile, who didn’t take
kindly to the unexpected visitor, and gave him a nasty bite on
his leg.
