On Sunday having had a wonderful lunch with Madhu we had loosely planned to meet another friend again with the intention of taking him, or his family too, out to dinner. The loose plans looked like collapsing due to my lack of Internet connectivity and the problems with my mobile but we sorted out a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Delhi part of our trip was always about meeting friends I’d made through IndiaMike.com or Facebook or both. On Saturday night it was our Food Enthusiasts of Delhi evening with Shashank, Sunday morning should have been about Yogesh and lunchtime was all about Madhu. I “met” Madhu through IndiaMike and his own blog 10YearItch.com, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It has a very small engine, maybe one out of a motorcycle. Sitting in an autorickshaw is difficult for us all because they’re not really big enough for […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Our first outing was to Delhi’s spacious Red Fort, a huge sandstone fort east of the area known as Old Delhi. We’re staying at the Ginger Hotel which is right next to New Delhi railway station so it’s easy finding an autorickshaw driver, even if it’s not that easy striking a deal, due to their […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So maybe the plan has worked: I called this blog ‘Monsoon Meandering’ and so far there’s no sign of the monsoon…actually hold that thought as I’ve just looked out of the window and it’s raining, lots. We thoroughly expected to get soaked everytime we went sight-seeing due to torrents of rain falling from the sky, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
