Sitting in the Turkish restaurant, munching kebabs,
salad and Lentil soup (which tastes very much like
Indian Dal) I thought about yesterday's talk with a
diplomat at the embassy,who has seen many cities
all over the world.

He talked about the developed and civilized world, the
set patterns and planning of the cities and how these
are modelled on the western cities, the differences between
different areas in a city, the suburbs and town side of Mumbai
for example, the struggles to commute in a metro like
Delhi where 2 to 3 hours a day are just spent on travel.

In that way, Tripoli is much easier to live in.

Is it a struggle to live in our big modern hyped-up cities?
