It just struck me on the way back home, that my work takes me around the country and I always learn and experience something new, I feel that it is important to put down these experiences, it makes it a richer experience.
So my first post in the whole upcoming series is DELHI.
My impression prior to visiting the city - a city full of greenery and history - I am not saying it is not! but its lot more... :)
Very sadly I did not get a chance to see the historic part of Delhi... work kept me busy in other places.
I had the chance to see the Delhi Haat area - lovely is the only way I can describe it... I wish we could have something like that in Mumbai also... it would make things so much easier...
The most surprising thing was when we were getting back from Delhi Haat to Kalkaji where we were put up - a guy stops his car on a busy road, gets off, goes and greets the man and his wife sitting in the driving the car behind him and then coolly returns back to his car and drives off... the only thing that crossed my mind was - if this happened in Mumbai there would be a riot!
It was funny and irritating at the same time, made me realize how important it is to know and maintain contacts in Delhi.
Must say the road that lead to the airport passes some of the embassies in Delhi and they were absolutely beautiful.
The only thing I want to understand at the end of the trip was - the reason why in most Delhi households, only the male folk in house ate non-veg while the female folk didn't? - correct me if I am wrong - but it was just an observation...
