Like so many developing nations, India is seriously big on construction. McLeod Ganj is no different.
Underneath our balcony, construction work has begun in earnest on a new restaurant owned by our landlord. At any given time there are at least 16 people on site. However it is noted that only about 5 people are working at any given time. The others just stand and watch - a popular Asian past-time. Half the construction team are women moving heavy aggregates on their head.
It´s not all doom and gloom however. Next door to our humble abode is a recently constructed “park” which they have been building since we arrived in July. I have never as yet seen any visitors to this new space and as yet it remains devoid of any grass.
