The odyssey:

I’ll be taking my class to visit the excavated remains of the Indus Valley site Dholavira in the Rann of Kutch on this 30th.

There are evidences of city planning found at the site, dating from 2500 B.C.
The 3rd millennium city, which was spread over an area of 250 acres, had an incredible 17 man-made, interconnected, canalized lakes for rainwater harvesting. Situated on the island formed by the rivers Mansar and Manhar, it was very systematically planned, like any Indus Valley settlement, into four. What historians call an acropolis, divided into two – the castle and the bailey, the lower town, the middle town and the burial place.

All of us are very excited. Never before have I wished for a Sunday to rush past.
