Construction sites are filled with an amalgamation of activities and a plethora of people, especially if you are in South Asia. The residential renovation site in South City (Ludhiana, India) undergoes gestation with men and women laboriously working as their children frolic around amidst the sound of hammering and chiseling metal, sanding wood, smoothening walls, drilling concrete and cutting stone. These sounds are garnished by that of the anklets as this woman walks carrying a stack of bricks on her head and as another one bathes three of her naked boys in the front lawn with a hose.
These workers will soon vanish into thin air as the owners mark their arrival with a housewarming celebration. The guests would catwalk up and down the massive stairs, supporting their hands on the handrails they carved out of a wooden block to sanded and smoothed perfection.
