Time to resurrect this blog, now that I have a reason to..
Greetings, dear reader, from Delhi! After a lot of flying and stops in Singapore and then a day in Bombay, I’m now in fogbound Delhi. Well it was fogbound when we landed yesterday; rather nice today. New Delhi is a rather gracious and leafy city (and quite the contrast to Old Delhi, which has its own charms..), at least on the surface. Some Army officers were nice enough to usher us in to watch the apparently special-occasion of the changing of the guards at the Presidential Palace, Lutyens’ ridiculous (but, no longer the Viceroy’s house, ha!) Rashtrapathi Bhavan.
This city, in its own way, reminds me of Rome.. ruins and monuments everywhere. And only the tourists seem to care! Well, off to eat eat eat (Delhi’s great for a foodie) — more later.
