A Capital Time



Today we do Delhi.
Breakfast at the Imperial hotel is a cornucopia  of choices-funnily enough I choose masala dosa-must get the Memsaab to learn how to prepare this.

Our very urbane guide, Surech, picks us up and we drive around the sites of New and Old Delhi.



Just the 1000 years old
Old Delhi is more like the India we are used to and we are walked down narrow alleys being constantly hounded by motor bikes and rickshaws.











Getting ready for Holi


Chilli man

Delhi branch of Super Cheap Autos
We have delicious lunch at a Muslim restaurant which is strictly not for vegetarians with big hunks of spicy mutton and chicken. We then visit the big mosque,

Memsaab all frocked up

the Sydney opera house,
a stunning tomb-an early work by the Taj Mahal guy,

and some colonial British government buildings.



These are still being produced


I ask to be taken to a liquor outlet which turns out to be about as big as a spacious phone booth(remember them?) where I purchase a fine bottle of Indian single malt!
Dinner is at the hotel with music supplied by the Harry Vishnu and Vishnettes in Fishnets.

A happy holy holi holiday

Image
Today is the festival of Holi where we celebrate the victory of goodness and niceness over the forces of badness and nastiness; and what better way of celebrating this than anointing each other with coloured stuff (and other stuff it turn out). After breakfast we walk up coronary hill and then on to the next village where celebrations are well underway, We wait in trepidation on the roof of a village house as random characters appear to smear coloured powder on our faces and then the raucous boys arrive(perhaps representing the forces of badness) and they have a rather amusing variation on the colour thing- they have buckets of mud and cow dung which they are happy to share around; they all seem to be under the influence of intoxicating substances but their general demeanour is very good natured. We return to the smokehouse via coronary hill and remove the detritus of holi, lunch and then up coronary hill for the 3 hour de...

Living in a material world

Day 3 in dry, vegetarian Gujerat. Recipe for a Gujerati martini: Combine 3 parts hand sanitiser with 2 parts buttermilk and 1 part cumin powder-Stir vigorously and drink vigorously. Does the job. They take this prohibition business very seriously here and apparently all vehicles get searched as they enter Gujerat from the normal states. This morning's activity is a tour of the Calico museum of textiles-I must agree that this does not sound tremendously exciting but it turns out to be quite fascinating, so much so that the Memsaab and I will be building a loom and weaving silk saris as soon as we return to Melbourne. Lunch of course is a vegetarian thali with buttermilk and quite delicious. After lunch we take a tour of the toilet museum, where we see all the latest in Indian rural toilet design-also fascinating. Then it is a tour of a Jain temple. Exhausted by everything we veg out for the rest of the day dreaming of a big, thick juicy T-bon...

A shorter walk

Image
Our frustration with our "guide" means we have a shorter walk to a local temple. We receive a phone call en route from our Australian travel agent who is horrified by our disgruntlement. Of course we have to walk up coronary hill, past the usual piles of rubbish and then off to the jolly temple which has some stunning views and piles of rubbish. We spend the rest of the day in quiet contemplation.
