Something that has always surprised me about India is the number of really nice things that are half-assed. Either really nice places with really poor construction. Or, places that were once-upon-a-time nice, but have been so poorly maintained for so long that they no longer qualify as nice anymore.
Take, for example, my kitchen sink.
By just about any scale you use, I live in a pretty nice apartment. My complex was built less than 5 years ago. It's big. Comfortable. With some fairly decent amenities.
And yet for some reason, when my sink and water filter were being installed, someone decided to half ass the job. The hoses and wires run all over the place, and the water filter spigot doesn't actually empty over the sink, meaning if you make a mess, you really make a mess. But my favorite part is the actual hot/cold water tap. It's crooked, and sticks out of the wall too far. Still the installer had the courtesy to use those metal shrouds so as to (try and) hide the pipes.
Nice.
