I wouldn’t want to live there.

Mumbai 20 years, clean t-shirt over my face soaked with bottled water. Never saw one bird in the city. Had to retreat to the mountains to find somewhat clean air. At the time, New Delhi was not bad. Would never return.

New Delhi is mostly Hindu, not Muslim.

I’m shaking something maybe akin to bronchitis.

I feel fine but still have some hard coughing every so often. It’s decreased a lot.

The other thing probably not helping is a lot of dust from getting ready to move. Decades of dust in some corners.

“Adequate public transportation” I’ve seen numerous images of Indian trains with hundreds of Indians on the roof and hanging off the sides. Seems adequate to me.

Yeah, Beijing is one nasty place. There was an article a few years ago about an artist that would make bricks out of the particulates that he pulled from the air with a vacuum cleaner.

What’s in India is another sort of ‘smell’ and it’s not coming from factory smog.

Well...yeah, OK. Too broad a brush there, got it. But fact is there are roughly as many Muslims in India as in Pakistan.

And what city in America wouldn’t trade their Muslim problem for an equal number of peaceable Hindus, if welcoming the one group meant deporting the other?

But the reality remains that Delhi is a grossly overpopulated smelly smoggy place, no matter who is living there.

Perhaps aircraft maintenance or accelerated degradation issues arise from a pollutants / moisture combination?

Nothing worse than curry farts.

Rancid, pants-splitting curry farts. And massive amounts of BO
