Melange

There are a number of words in English with French roots and our word of this week melange is just one of so many. It means an assortment or a mixture of things of different shapes, origins, forms or sizes. 
Delhi, with all its monuments of the mughal period, of Delhi sultanant,  together with Luytens' structures and other buildings of the time of the Empire to the modern glass-steel structures, presents a melange of architectural styles.
