'Budha Sadhu in low spirits'

I was a bit foxed to see a small heading on the front page of an English daily yesterday. It read "Budha Sadhu in low spirits".

Going to the main story, I found it to be a delightful piece on Old monk rum written lovingly by the versatile Bhaichand Patel. Take a look:

Mass Yoga: The other viewpoint

I have seen Mr. Harish Khare's article dated 19th June, 2015, today. "Bend it like Modi: Minimum transparency, maximum intrusion: by Harish Khare;".

It is good to see the other view point also.

'Vocal local followers of Le Corbusier' by K.J.S.Chatrath

With the allegations about Le Corbusier’s Nazi sympathies being talked about in the foreign press, some of the ‘experts’ of Chandigarh who built their careers eulogizing everything that Le Corbusier touched have started feeling uncomfortable. No wonder one notices a number of pro-Le Corbusier articles in the press recently.

I surely agree with these local vocal followers of Le Corbusier that one must keep the political sympathies of Le Corbusier and his work as an architect separate.

Of course my take is that he made a mess of the architecture & planning of Chandigarh. I recently wanted to go to a chemist shop in Sector 35. I could not find one and was told that this sector’s market was earmarked for eateries by Le Corbusier and for going to a chemist’s shop one must travel to a sector where there is a Medical hospital/institution. Similarly I wanted to buy some school stationery in another sector and could not locate any stationery shop as it was a sector ordained for shops of some other speciality. I do hope that I got it all wrong.
