![]() ![]() The emerging urban Indian condition, of which the Kinetic City is symbolic, is examined in this publication through a selection of writings curated by Mehrotra, which led to and then subsequently built on this framework. The framework is established in this publication by Rahul Mehrotra’s anchor essay, which draws out its potential to “allow a better understanding of the blurred lines of contemporary urbanism and the changing roles of people and spaces in urban society.” He argues that the city should instead be perceived, read, and mapped in terms of patterns of occupation and associative values attributed to space. Mehrotra calls it the Kinetic City, which is the counterpoint to the Static City, as familiar to most of us from conventional city maps. ![]() ![]() This work has given rise to a new conceptualization of the city. This book presents Rahul Mehrotra’s writings over the last thirty years and illustrates his long-term engagement with and analysis of urbanism in India. ![]()

It also, as Kerouac's friend and fellow Beat writer, William Burroughs, witheringly wrote, 'sold a trillion Levi's, a million espresso coffee machines, and also sent countless kids on the road'. 'Challenging the complacency and prosperity of postwar America hadn't been Kerouac's intent when he wrote his novel,' his first biographer, Ann Charters, later wrote, 'but he had created a book that heralded a change of consciousness in the country.' In the few years following its publication, On the Road became a major bestseller. It would continue to do so for the rest of his short life, and for many decades afterwards. The ringing phone woke him next morning and he was famous.'

So it's more of a raw representation of what it feels like to be me. I am this crude absurd little thing, this squiggly little thing on the inside. It's a better tool for communicating my sense of humor and actually getting across what I'm trying to say than, say, being there in the flesh. The reason I draw myself this way is that I feel that this absurd squiggly thing is actually a much more accurate representation of myself than I am. It's a strange sort of animal-like creature. I've got these buggy eyes, I've got a sort of tube body and a little triangle ponytail thing on the top of my head. I draw myself with very crude illustrations in a program called Paintbrush. ![]() |
