Last week I was in NOIDA , on a rushed business daytrip. After much wheeling and dealing, our partner company took us to show off their new office. It was quite impressive - a three-storied building exclusively for their business. However, I was more curious about the building coming up next door: I took this snap with my cellphone camera, so the photo is not as clear as I would have wished. But note in particular the scaffolding to the right of the structure. Since I did not have the time to go closer to this phenomenon, I shall enlarge the above photo On each of the "steps" of the scaffolding, there is a man, possibly a daily wage earner. There are about 25 steps, which would increase as the building grows. Together they are hauling up steel reinforcing bars to the top, one after the other. They were apparently involved in this activity for many days on end. I wonder if this practice is followed anywhere else?
