Delhi is Divine

The only thing I've ever heard about Delhi is that it's hell on earth.
I have so gratefully had a different experience and it's all because a dear friend of mine
made a phone call his friend who is from this "hell hole". This friend has never
even met me, but he welcomed to stay in his family's house fully equipped with
maids who served me chai and delicious meals in my beautiful bedroom, and a private driver who took me all over Delhi for two days to shop for the plethora of Indian goods that I now have.
I don't mean to brag really, but this just goes to show the sense of hospitality that I have experienced again and again throughout this whole country. Spending 4 nights here was a rejuvenation that I really needed to get rested for the last stretch of this adventure. I may be one of the few who can say that I love Delhi!

  1. Sorry to break it to you but the absolute majority of Delhites live a very different reality to that of your friend's.
