Reaping Non-Capital Gains

THE CAPITAL MAY HAVE ITS OWN CHARM, BUT THE COUNTRY OFTEN RESIDES OUTSIDE CITY BORDERS

- Vardhan Kondvikar

Most people probably despise you, you know.

If you live in Delhi, that is—but that’s a fate common to most denizens of capital cities anywhere in the world, so don’t kill yourself yet. Perhaps it’s the perception that politicians keep all the country’s money for ‘their’ city, or just the importance given to the centre of power in the media, but capitalistas everywhere are seen as arrogant, power-hungry SOBs—even if you’ve been a saint all your life. It isn’t fair.
