It's like I'm watching something philosophical ... Like these towering structures, it needs a foundation ... And that foundation serves as the adults, who are supporting and carrying the youth towards their highest dreams and goals, an excellent reminder that we continue to prepare the betterment of the generations to come

For what I've seen on youtube, the Indian towers are wider, but not as tall as Catalan ones (although lately they've been getting taller, the Catalan record is 10 levels and I've heard Indian record is 9!! Correct me if I'm wrong). Every culture has its own style! :)
