It's one thing to read about it but it was such a nightmare to actually live in Delhi.

My eyes were constantly watery and some of my friends actually had trouble breathing.

Last I went there the Delhi govt was using fire brigades to sprinkle water on trees in an effort to reduce it.

Though my eyes had started burning within hours of landing. Maybe it was psychological.

I am so much happier having moved to another part of India. I guess I'm lucky that my job doesn't require me to stay in a fixed place but I feel really sorry for my friends who are going through this, especially as Diwali is coming and it's gonna get so much worse.

> Maybe it was psychological.

I assure you it's not. My region of the world, previously covered in PMs of every size each winter, is weirdly clean this year.

The difference is palatable. As in, smog of this level normally leaves an actual aftertaste.

I also lived in Delhi for about 5 years before deciding it was too much and finally moved to Manali, I get paid about 1/5 of what I was making in Delhi but whatever!
