Tough times

The Gujjars are at it again.

The Jantar Mantar seems to be having a particularly tough time of late. The inanimate anyway suffer the most. We can at least have pseudo-intellectual conversations in air conditioned lounges and in front of plasma televisions. The architecture, the open spaces, the history, the brick, the mortar, the greens - stay witness to centuries, and do just that - stay witness.

This week was a particularly hard one. And it is just day 4.

Wednesday, the farmers from Punjab protested.

Thursday, the Gujjars.

By late tonight, the Jantar Mantar was a mess. But only till the sweepers descend early morning and clean the grounds for the next protest in line.
