The same view - the barren land surfaces to tell its story.
Note the water tank at the far north, on the left of the high rise buildings - the constant factor - our point of reference.

Have been so preoccupied - that I did not notice how fast the shacks had disappeared.
There is something brewing - the barren land is taking birth.

Tuesday
The land shall not be sold in pertuity, for the land is mine;
with me you are but aliens and tenants.
- God speaking to Moses on Mt. Sinai

The high rise buildings stand as silent spectators as the land is stripped naked yet again... for a second time.

Sunday
How long will the land be parched
and the grass in every field be withered?
Because those who live in it are wicked,
the animals and birds have perished...
Many shepherds will ruin my vineyard
and trample down my field:
they will turn my pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.
It will be made a wasteland,
parched and desolate before me;
the whole land will be laid waste
because there is no one who cares.
-the prophet Jeremiah (c.628–586 B.C.)

A tulsi plant left unscathed by the bulldozers.
The holy plant - and two holy cows ( top left and top right corners of the picture)
Lord... guide us for we know not the outcomes of our actions!

Friday

Almost like bridal make-up (remember the dots around the eyebrows) ... getting ready to exchange hands.

Visible from a far - 'The Great Wall' now gives the barren land a fixed dimension.
The building site office in the centre houses the masterminds.
The shacks on the left top corner are where the labourers have now been shifted.

A straight line...
When geometry was first formalised by Euclid in Elements, he defined lines to be 'breadthless length' with a straight line being a line 'which lies evenly with the points on itself'.
For me - a line is a straight curve.
