Interesting! And you are spot on: sewage grid is something that comes to mind when thinking of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.

Exactly so, anonymous. And the bridge collapsing reminds me of: main toh cement me ret milata hoon; woh ret mein cement milata hai.

I am glad you pointed out that Harappan Civilization was best known for its amazing drainage system. I always felt that it was somehow more amazing and egalitarian an achievement than anything the Pharoahs put out.

On another note, can you ask the Yahoo people to put a facebook share tool on your columns?
