Day 3 - Taste of Delhi
Delhi

Sunday, 6 November, 2011
My intentions was to take a shower n go to bed ... I wonder how that went. Yeah didn't happen. There is no hot water n I can't sleep. So here I am updating my journal like app. Still didn't go to bed. Good morning (Su-prabhaat) people. It is going to be a good day today; i can feel it. Even lack of sleep is not going to stop me. Although, I am not so thrilled about opening and closing my door in the dark. Who came with this idea of key slot to turn on n off d lights? Energy saving I agree but not so much for the convenience (bear with my daily B****ing). O well went to the receptionist to find out about Ashrams. He will call a few n let me know in the after 9am when his boss is in. I spoke to the boss / owner n he tried to convince me not to go. Very nice service I must say for both hotels that I have stayed in; just wish the facilities were this nice. I spoke to my husband n he is doing well. Glad I left him more than enough to eat. I got hot water n was able to take a bath. I got in contact with Pankaj n they should be here today. The hotel owner helped in contacting an Ashram but I was told the person will be calling back. Oh I got a bottle of water not sure if it is free or not. The owner gave it to me.
Shivy n Pankaj came by today and we spent the entire day together. First we went to see if we could purchase tickets to the cricket game (India n West Indies) with no luck so we went to Rajghat (Gandhi's resting place) and then headed to the Lajpat Nagar market were I bought 3 beautiful dress tops with a bag. Right there in the market I was told there is the best veggie lo mien noodles and chicken dumplings called Momo (Indian style) ... Guess what weak stomach or not, I tried it. It was delicious. Then we head to Karol Bagh were I found a nice hotel at an affordable price (1400 INR). It is close to the metro and the Karol Bagh Mkt. where I got an all India SIM card. So today was a lovely day. I was able to book a better hotel, got a taste of authentic Indian food n also I tried 'asheesh' @ a Cafe/ meet up called MOCHA. yep I tried it n no; smoking anything is not my thing n I doubt it will be. That's all for today folks. Till I rise to the hustle n bustle of Old Rajinder Nagar MKT. It is Good night (Shubh Raatri) people.
