THE BUILDING next door continues to rise, with few caring about the fate of the coconut dream axed in a dream of consumerism.
But today we went out and saw the labourers playing a game, so we felt compelled to ask Subhash, who works in Bangalore, for The News and the IT Examiner, what the heck was going on.
They, he said, are playing a board game, similar to chess, although the name of the game they were playing escaped him.
There are three things to note in these two photos. First, the ingenious use of wood instead of metal scaffolding. Secondly, the car in the broader picture appears to be a Reva (pronounced Raver), an electric car which appears to be Subhash’s car. Thirdly, the strategy involved in this game of chess. Chess, as everyone knows, was invented in India. ♥
