An early start
On a typical day before dawn, dogs literally rule the streets. They chase every vehicle that passes by, not because they want a ride but because they want you to get out of their territory as soon as possible. Around the same time, we find the rag pickers who start their day pretty early so as to pick “their” stuff up before dump trucks make their way in. Amid the barking dogs who can’t bear to share the street or garbage with the rag pickers, we forget what a great job these rag pickers are doing by helping us recycle goods. Cynical it is, but we have a long way before we call ourselves a city. But we’ve got patience, thankfully.

Remembering cricketer Archie Jackson
Phil Hughes’ death at just 25 reminds us of another Aussie Test batsman who died young — Archie Jackson — at 23 in 1933.
