I think you get a bad reputation.
Yesterday all of the eighth graders in our school went on field trips to support the work they're doing on their integrated capstone project. The group we took went to North Delhi to visit a rehabilitation center for bonded child laborers and a medical facility in a low-income area.
Beyond the obvious, interesting nature of the projects we were visiting, it meant that we had to face you, Delhi Traffic. From school, the journey to North Delhi would last 90 minutes.
That would make most people cringe, but not me Delhi Traffic. I think you're great. Anywhere else in the world and that much time in a bus would be boring, but you have so much going on that it's like watching a movie.
The ninety minutes went by in a flash as we traveled and you kept me entertained. Thanks!
But...your next segment really showcased your double-edged treachery, Delhi Traffic. A 45 minute jaunt changed into a TWO HOUR delay. Did you disappoint? Of course not. In that one hundred and twenty minutes (and 15? kilometers), you gave me centuries-old tombs and forts, three weddings, a flood, ox-carts, water buffalo, innumerable cows, the buzz of street life and one of my most favorite recent photos.
Like I said before Delhi Traffic, I think you get a bad rep.
Awestruck,

ps. Here are some pictures of your traffic-caused entertainment to send your family.

Wait, there's a category called "white steeds?" I didn't know that ellipses had families. I agree on the traffic issue, though. But it's not as much fun when you have someone reaching through the window begging - better to have the view from the bus: less guilt, more gumrana (sp?).
ReplyDeleteYou mean your blog doesn't have a "white steeds" category? Also, what's gumrana? I assume this is you showing off your Rupert Snell superiority.
