India, New Delhi.......16 years later...almost to the date

so here I am ...kinda suddenly in India at relatively short notice. some work related meetings....not seen all that much of the place yet...but so far doesnt seem much has changed.....crowded roads, with cars honking constantly every 10 seconds!! one obvious glaring fact seems to be that the divide between the haves and the havenots seem to have increased. and dont even talk about hotel prices in Delhi....something like 200US$ for a run down 3 star hotel that claims to be a 5star.

I decided to stay at a friend's house instead. This seems to be the highlight of my trip....seeing my high school friends after all these years. Zimpy, Nidhi Gupta and Reena Thapar and I met up yesterday, chatting, catching up etc. We were up til past 3am this morning!! talking about all sorts of silly things we did back in school :p
