A New Form of Exercise?

There aren't very many tall buildings in Mumbai, especially residential ones, so deem yourself lucky to see one now. This is a much older building, and for some reason, there's wooden scaffolding in front of it. Actually, a lot of buildings here have these skinny tree branch-looking structures in front of them, yet I never see any construction workers--no work ever being done. A woman told me that many times a dispute comes up or money runs out. So construction just stops--sometimes for years. This happens in the U.S. as well, but it just seems more extensive here. Oh well, I do like monkey bars and I WAS the schoolyard climbing champion back in 1991! Maybe I'll give it a try.
