The Dust Bin
This is going to be a weird post.
There is a new shiny dust bin, or if you want to call it that, the collective karchra peti, to dump garbage from the various societies, collected by the kachra-walli, typically found on the roadside, provided by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
Anyway, this new shiny dust bin that I talk about, is really shiny. It’s metallic gray and blue. Well, it is metallic gray, not aluminium gray but steel gray. That explains the shiny part. And it is encased in some sort of a HDPE trolley, which is painted blue.
It looks damn smart, is very compact, and can be picked up and the garbage eaten up by the Yellow Garbage Compactor. But I digress.
The whole point of this blog post was to comment on the new shiny dust bin, which the BMC has gladly given a number. And that number is (no, not 42, that is rapidly becoming a cliché) 1024.
Well, that’s such a perfect power of 2. I could not resist blogging about it. I mean, come on, it’s a new shiny dust bin… But what a number! 1024!
Oh ok, I did say this was going to be a weird post.
