Delhi



Coming out of Delhi International Airport was amazingly quick, just half an hour to go through customs and pick up luggage. I was with the other two interns (who are now in Chennai, South India) and we had a meeting at the Shastri head office. Nonetheless, after the meeting at the office (yes, i am skipping the boring parts), a friend of mine , Pulin came by and picked me up. It was lovely seeing him and he was kind enough to drive me around to deliver off a package for another friend. The interesting thing about Pulin is that I have not actually met him face to face before this time, but we have a mutual friend and we have been talking for years. So it was finally great to see him, but it still felt so comfortable, it was as if seeing him face to face was just a formality.  Unfortunately, my time in Delhi was quite short this time and I had to catch an evening flight to Ahmedabad. Oh, and I almost forgot, while waiting in the car to deliver the package to my other friend, it suddenly started pouring like madness!! Within minutes, the water was at least ankle deep. It was amazing, considering I have been missing true Indian monsoon for so many years. Later on, I was told that such rain at the beginning of a journey is a good sign. It’s too soon to be the judge of that right now, but let’s see what happens :P
