More Missives from India

From Stephen, AKA DJ the Incredible Kid:
“We are in Chandigarh… the city was designed by Le Corbousier and it
reminds me of American housing projects more than anything. The
greens of the trees are beautiful and give a hint of the legendary
fertile soils of the Punjab. We went to the Nek Chand Rock Garden
today. It is a famous construction of recycled materials, lots of
porcelain-mosaic people creations and beautiful walks through
organic molded concrete walls and the occasional deceptively realistic molded
concrete trees blending in with the real ones. Much nicer and cooler
than I thought it would be.
Since we are here in the middle of the week we are missing out on
any bhangra parties. We just missed a Jazzy B concert by 3 days. He
is Vancouver-born, UK-residing and actually popular in India unlike
almost all bhangra not “folky” and native to Punjab. Our friend DJ
Rekha regaled us with stories of a show of his she saw on the East
coast and given how much of his music we have been hearing blasted
every day in Delhi it is quite disappointing to realise we missed a
show of his, and in Punjab no less.”
