Suketu Mehta’s editorial in the NYT on the crisis in Bombay is clearly well-intentioned, and mostly good, but his insistence on the healing power of money seems to miss the mark somehow. We should be talking about the relationships between religion and money, specifically economic inequality, instead of seeing these two issues as antagonistic. Anyway, I really like Bombay, and it was insane to see pictures of the Taj on fire. In honor of Bombay, here is a picture of Eli’s favorite Bombay chai stand, outside a university, taken last summer.
