Last day in Delhi




I spent the last day in Delhi in the Old Delhi area. Chandi Chowk - the big shopping market -- with little alleyways that each specialize in specific items. I found myself in the jewelry alley and the sari alley before making my way back to the main drag. The area is much changed from my first trip over 10 years ago. Many more motor bikes whiz by you as you walk -- it used to be bicycle powered rikshaws -- and far less crowded and overwhelming. Or perhaps I am getting very used to the Delhi rhythm. I walked past the Red Fort, the Mahatama Ghandi museum and the old rail station. It definitely feels like you are in another movie -- with some big chase about to happen. Maybe something like the Bourne films...
