In Mumbai, bout 15 years ago we had a 'hotel boy', he came in every morning and evening and swept the balcony clean of the day's accumulated soot. People shitting, pissing and spitting in the street everywhere, all the time. A jarring experience.

I'll tell you one thing for sure, if ever the world gets wiped out by some global pandemic, the last man standing will be and Indian, pissing in the street.
