Delhi

The flight from New York was easy. I slept most of the way. I got to Delhi and took a cab to a friend’s place in Defense Colony. My plan was to leave this morn­ing for Dar­jeel­ing. Some friendly face, Scot­tish whiskey, and a depend­able offer to drive me to the airline’s office in the morn­ing to change my flight (fee of only $15) is enough to have me here until Sun­day next Fri­day. I can feel New York’s pace slog­ging off of me as sum­mer starts in earnest.
