Spent the thanksgiving week in India. Weather was pleasant and was good to see the parents. Delhi remains the same stink hole with a few minor changes. First is the new airport. Definitely a major improvement over the older one, however did not match the hype. If you look carefully the airport is full of warts, I saw naked wires, bad construction and poor planning. On the arrival side, baggage handling is very very slow, and the immigration hall gets packed with a lot of confused people standing around. This remains unchanged from the previous airport. Outside the parking situation is better but the touts remain. Exit roads are new but traffic is terrible. Also a new metro connection between Rajiv Chowk and Gurgaon which runs close to home (Green Park station). Once more poor construction quality all over. Management was also poor in the sense that the trains were overcrowded and slow.
One the whole the reason for this visit was the marriage of Sushant with Neeti. Very nicely planned wedding with top notch arrangements. Handsome couple and emblematic of the new India. Confident and ever hopeful of their future. Best wishes to them.
Bandana had a great reunion with her relatives 'the Khandelwal clan'. Since this is the first of the many such weddings of the next generation we hope to have more such reunions often. Getting close to 50 these reunions are great and very important.
