Musings of an Idiot

Farewell India

We fly back today evening and it feels sad that I have to leave so soon. Maybe next time around I will make a longer trip.

Yesterday was a feast. We managed to go to Karim's - a mughlai eating joint opposite Jama Masjid. They make absolutely marvellous dishes and are rated the no.1 restaurent in India in Mughlai food. A trip to Delhi is incomplete without a trip to Karim's. Lance and me had a feast of a lunch and later in the evening a feast of a dinner {as I got some dishes packed for home}. I can't describe the taste and the smells of the dishes and all I can say is that they are absolutely mouth watering. After the visit there I kind of feel that my trip to Delhi is now complete.

Ever since coming back to Delhi from Hyderabad, we have been travelling by auto-rickshaws as one can see a lot more of the city. It is a tad more expensive than the Metro but then it provides more fun as well instead of being mechanical and monotonous. We have been walking a lot as well. We visited the Dargah again, Lodhi Gardens, Khan Market, South Ex. Market over the past couple of days. My fever has subsided and my chest congestion is almost gone, so I am a happy chap at the moment.

We get back to Auckland on the 6th after another 12 hour stopover at Hong Kong, during which we intend to see the couple of temples and forts which we missed out the first time around due to lack of time. It is gonna be a long flight back home. The next update will be from Auckland.

Goodbye Delhi.
Till later,
Amit
