One minute in Delhi – Zakir Nagar
Delhi – a place that looks like a scene pulled out of a movie set, so removed and unlike anything we have seen so far. Walking the filthy streets with laundry hanging on the spiky fences of the park, assumption based on the fact that they are ‘hanging’ not that they are obviously washed and cleaned, one cannot help but feel surreal.
Enter Zakir Nagar, one of the Muslim areas of Delhi, famous for street side kebabs and places to eat old favorites. Crazy and dusty, the small main street epitomized our experience of Delhi so far.

I think that India is the one place i am not sure i really want to visit, how do you feel in India especially after japan, such a huge difference .
it’s not too much overwhelming? what the kid’s are saying about India?
i owe you an e-mail,i will send it tonight, we had here yom kipur and rosh hashana and i had problems with my email and no one to talk to.

Hmmm, reading between the lines here I think I am glad we are so pushed for time that we have to drive directly through Delphi without stopping to get to Pushkar!
Mrs. Blab, I am a bit worried – you sound so unlike yourself since coming to India… and I am feeling reminded of your account of this horrible train trip through China, although this here sounds even worse, because no word of your family’s reaction to all this.
Please tell us that the kids are allright – and get the f… out of there! ;-)
We are ok and nothing horrible has happened, it is just taking me time to gather my thoughts and impressions. Ainlay, even though it has been an experience, I cant say that you will miss something by skipping Delhi. I am sure Pushkar during the fair will be suitably crazy ;)
