About Me
- Name: Crawdad
- Location: New Delhi, India
From Alizarin: "Most people now know him for his immortal baritone solo in "Naan, the Musical," but I first met Charles under very different circumstances, when he was the first white man to infiltrate the harems of Ottoman Istanbul. He did this through a daring combination of fluent Arabic, nerves of steel, and a surprisingly misleading silk two-piece. Opening the wrong door in the wrong palace, I was ten seconds away from causing an international incident when he approached me, silently took my hand, and led me to a saferoom he called "The Oubliette." Four bottles of Glenlivet later, we were fast friends. Since then, we have mapped the Nile, summited Kilimanjaro, and dove in Barbados for Blackbeard's treasure. He's the man you want piloting your charter vessel; he can tell you if that painting is really a Rembrandt, he can argue your case at the Old Bailey, and he can fend off flesh-eating monkeys while you get the engine started."

Five... MILLION?? Every day. Yep. Now that is why the Communist party is still around here. Sometimes politics is just about delivering basic services.
I'm holding off on my pithier comments, but oh, the smell come summertime... we shall see.
What does the sign say?
Mumbai apparently has the biggest slum in the world. But 5 million? That must definitely cause a stink.
Speaking of defecating the open, is all the local architecture that bad? Can we get a photo tour?
Can you tell us what the sign says?
The sign says:
"Everyday, over 5 million Mumbaikars defecate in the open.
"And we are getting worried about bird flu?
"Speak up. It's never too late."
P.S. If you click on the image, it should expand so you can read it more easily. Tell me if it's not happening for you!
