Well, he may be saying the
truth. I think these are very intelligent comments if you think about
it.
>Anything that can go wrong, does go wrong; (I don't see anything wrong in generalizing Murphy's law to Delhi
in general. May be he has not seen other parts of India.)
>everyone interferes with everyone else; (How true of India in general.)
>the people
are a darn nuisance; (May be a bit strong. He
should have used the adjective 'some' to be on the safe
side).
> the climate is hell (He must mean the
summer. Babur also complained about the weather of Delhi. In summer it is really
hell.)
>the city a garbage dump (I can vouch
for that. You cannot find any public garbage can anywhere so everybody dump
garbage everywhere.)
In summary, I think the Dutch
diplomat have not seen Calcutta or other cities. Otherwise he would have picked
on Delhi.
