French India

"It's been nearly five years since my last visit to India," Francis noted, looking around with interest. "Everything seems so different now compared to back then."

He recalled his previous experiences, thinking about how there used to be almost no infrastructure. "Last time I was here, there weren't any paved roads, and people got around using horse-drawn carriages," he commented, his tone matter-of-fact. 

"But now look around you. Modern civilization has graced the lands of India. Automobiles, trams, railways, everything's changed so quickly. The city has evolved," Francis continued, his voice steady and observational. "There's a network of roads now, and the horse-drawn carriages are mostly gone, replaced by cars and buses."

He noted the hustle and bustle around him, especially the construction of buildings. A clear sign of progress and development. 

"It's busier and noisier," he mused.
