Delhi Trip

Last week of August went in a jiffy. As I was chosen for the SABMiller due diligence, we had to go to South America to get things done. We went to Delhi to get the business visa (BV) as we thought personal appearance (PA) will speed up getting the visa. To our surprise, the visa officer said, it will take 3 working days and said PA is not required. We went to Delhi by Indigo and returned by Kingfisher. I must talk about the service of Indigo here. The cabin crew served food in cabin temperature. Imagine having Parata in cabin temperature. Kingfisher food was not so good. But it was served hot.

In Delhi I found some traffic regulations appealing. The good part is people obey that. Almost every two-wheelers and pillions had put helmets on. To some extent, people do follow the lanes. Even in the heart of Delhi one can finish the lunch in 30 rupees. We stayed in Parkland Hotel. We avoided the hotel food as it was very costly and wanted to taste the local food. One must mention about sprawling Delhi airport. It is amazingly world class!
