The chaos and vibrancy of Old Delhi. Reminiscent of my time in the souks in the Middle East, and in my jet lagged state was just what I needed! I arrived to India early on Thursday morning, and almost immediately met up with my friend Chris from grad school. We then met up with a friend of his named Ajay, who knows someone I know from work. And then, get this, we were in a famous restaurant called Karim's for lunch, and I bumped into a Moroccan, currently living in Egypt, who I have known through work for some time. With tummies full of chicken tikaka and dal, the four of us set off for a lively afternoon.


We took the metro to Chandni Chowk, and then a bike rickshaw through the narrow alleyways of Old Delhi, near the Red Fort (remember the Red Fort Shup, we were there in 2004!). The Old Delhi market below selling everything from tinsel, hubcabs, tumeric, saris, bangles and antique jewellry. I loved the madness of the place!
