Creative people?

Yeah, this refers to the recent demolition of some buildings in Delhi. They happened to contain "showrooms" and "studios" of "fashion" "designers". (Too many quotes? Each word in quotes should be prefixed with 'so-called'.)

I don't care about the legality of those buildings and whether the authorities were correct when they gave the all-clear for the building initially and then demolished it some time later.

What I was struck by was the fact that all the affected folk went around screaming about this "attack" on "creative" people and that "creativity" in the country was under threat. Hello? Even assuming that there is some truth to their claims of being creative, they are not the only creative people in the city, leave alone the country. Looks like people are co-opting adjectives to refer to their own groups to get sympathy. Attack on the creative people sounds so much worse than simply demolition of shops of fashion designers, no?

Let's see... from now on, EDA software people are "the most intelligent life forms on the planet". Sounds good? :D

ha ha ha... i agree with you...

however... the creativity is there... of architects... who actually made the designs of such buildings that in one way could pull the loophole...
