Former French World War I prime minister George Clemenceau on being shown
the building sites of New Delhi in 1919 by Luyten (after a tour of the
remains of the former capitals): "Aaah, la Nouvelle Delhi fera la plus
magnifique de toutes ces ruines!"
Wonder what he would say about Gurgaon. (remember taking a day-trip there
while student at DSE: a one hour journey by a steam hauled, metre-gauge
train to a very provincial place...)
Cheerio, patrizio & Diiiinooos!
