al-Hind?!

The parking lot of the Delhi airport is sand.

The Taj Mahal is the most incredible thing I have ever seen, anywhere.

I knocked over some potted plants on the Taj Mahal grounds, and was laughed at loudly by some Indian bitch.

Chai here is something really really special...I won't be able to go back to the chai I used to know and love. This saddens me.

Chicken tikka masala is much the same as it is in your country. But the naan is perhaps a little better.

India is the most colorful and visually spectacular place I could imagine.

There are small monkeys here. They are very cute, with precious hands and fingers.

There are lots of hippies travelling here; I've never felt so preppy in my life. Why does it seem that only strangely dressed folk seem to want to come here?

They don't speak Arabic here, but it's fun to speak Arabic to them when they try to sell you things.

I think I need to come back here.

Tomorrow I am flying to the Sikkim region. Look it up; there's mountains there.

No, you need to GO to the Taj Mahal!!!! I assure you that pictures are pointless and not even worth it, so little do they capture. Though I did take about three hundred of it, so mumkin I'll humour you when I get home.

This post is phenomenal. I love semi-random collections of thoughts! I hear there's a place in NY that has chai like that, and even has the pink Kashmiri chai... Jackson Heights I want to say. You and I will be going there soon.
