While going from Mehrauli towards Badarpur, take a left after crossing the scenic site of Tughlaqabad fort ruins. You instantly notice a huge hill on the right side of the road. Once it is close, you realize that the hill is actually made from garbage dump — it is Okhla landfill site. Take a right and you come across a series of trucks with large shipping containers on both sides of the road leaving only enough space for a car to pass. After about 500 meters, when you take a left, at some distance, you see the Indian national flag proudly flying in the sky. Right beside it, there are some strangely painted containers. The people working there seem a bit puzzled about it.

We are at the largest dry port in Asia — ICD (Inland Container Depot) Tughlakabad, Okhla. When I enter the compound, from the way I’m dressed the parking guy recognizes that I’m not one of the usual faces arriving at CONCOR, but one of the visitors to this strange new thing in the compound. Just a month back it used to be a parking space for them, but some new faces are collecting there every day, painting random shipping containers. For me also, this is an unusual place to see an art exhibition.
