Delhi's dystopian winters summon Dickensian allegories—cold, damp, smog-shrouded days that seep into even more miserable twilight hours. But summer changes all that; it brings fresher air and sun-drenched days, when it's time to banish heaters and air purifiers to their rightful places in lofts and attics. Unfortunately, this year, while the summer sun has come with its expected quota of heat and dust, dismal AQI levels are still spotlighting the urban malaise. For most cities, especially land-locked ones like Delhi, air purifiers are the post modern, tech-loaded sentries that guard our inner sanctums from the virulent maladies associated with skyrocketing air pollution.
