I am currently interested in the design and politics of large digital infrastructures in India and beyond. I also write about architecture and Tibetan exile.

Many years ago I encountered this pillar of the Delhi metro. Still its poetry captivates me. Why declare your attachment to a metro pillar? What love is this, where embracing the pillar requires imagining its removal and the collapse of the city's metabolism? How inextricably connected are the lives of citizens. Must infrastructures by their indispensability necessarily leave us helpless, desperate, lovers?
