- shopped at Chandni chowk
- eaten at Paratha gulli
- eaten Dahi Bhalla
- seen India gate
- having forgotten my bag in a store and having to make an hour long round trip to go back to the store and having a very nice uncle return it to me (after a mock quiz - what was in the bag, when did u leave it etc)
Tomorrow Connaught place, Nirulas, Lotus temple, Lal quilla possibly.
OOOHH I also travelled the Delhi metro. i pity us poor Mumbaikars travellng like a can of sardines in the heat and crowd of the local trains while Delhiites are way cooler than us in the Delhi metro - neat, clean, AIR CONDITONED, and extremely comfortable. but then thats another post.
Some strange things that have ALREADY happened to me
- my aunt asks me if i want to eat 'Bhallas' and i was stumped. seriously, Bhallas? and then she gives me this incredulous look -'dude u dont know what bhallas are?' they turned out to be what we know as Dahi wada's (only a nicer version).
- i asked for 'shakkar' and got asked a question - do u want 'chini' or 'shakkar' . again, stumped. cos according to me theyre the same! one is a powdered form of sugar and the other is cryatallized.
I really must go, tomorrow looks like a nice day. Unfortunately ive been craving some desi tandoori/kebabs type food and all the people i know are veg :( shucks!

Enjoy being a tourist there, SoBo girl. Don't plan on settling there... you'll never get used to it :)
Hmmm... I have heard a lot about the Delhi metros. I have also heard a lot about Delhi in general. And although I like the Delhi metros (without having seen it (not even gogoled for it's fotoos)), I think I like Bombay better. Hmmp!
