The Other Side...

Namaste from Delhi. After a 15-hour flight, I am still living in an airport. No worries, I am on the other side now. Kerah, I say other side, but it is still up for debate in my brain that the world is flat. So India, what’s up? You have intrigued me for a long time. It took a long time to get here, but I made it. Three movies, three meals, and three naps helped pass the time during the flight and I am sorry I can only stay until this morning-side note: I do not have a clue what day it is, it is like a new day, but still night, so I think it is the day I left...confusion :/ -but my plane to Kathmandu is where I have to go. Don’t worry I will be back, please have internet next time :’/

Yeah, so no internet here in Delhi. Well there is but there isn’t? Conflicting reports and wireless stuff all over my computer, but no connection. Apparently you have to have a India mobile number to get on since your public one is broken? It is ok, I will blog still :/ I can post them later.

Hey guess what? They have full body pat-downs here and guess what? It is not an invasion of “privacy”. It is an insurance policy. Feel me up like you felt the guy ahead of me up and like you will feel the dude behind me up. Safety first. Oh, props for having the private cubicle for women. Be realistic America :-P

Indria Gandhi International Aiport is the name for the curious rascals. I read the green initiative and much respect. Plus the free little cart thing, also cool. The food court almost got me, I almost got Dominos Pizza, but then I remembered I am on an adventure so I ate something different-some chicken tikka something. Mountain Dew is sneaky over here, cool black can.

There is almost too much to describe. This place is beautiful. It is new and very modern, but yet still holds that colorful heritage that is India. America I wish you were more beautiful! I think that a lot of our effort is to build cheap to Save Our Money! This is like plain boring architecture, design, and decorating. You can really tell the difference and see the love of a beautiful past that keeps moving forward with India here. The art, the murals, carpet, and plants really give off a good vibe, plus fire protection looks pretty aggressive, there are fire extinguishers every 25 feet. All this paired with the people make for a rich cultural experience. People are nice and it is neat to sit back and watch them interact. Plus these ladies that keep chatting over the loud speaker are so polite it is hard to get annoyed. You can easily forget the language barrier when talking with people because of their body language, it is not so self-centered. Kushal, I haven’t seen your wife, but I am confident she will be beautiful. All of these women are in some unique way. While I am thinking about it, the kids (yes I said kids : / ) are all cute and these Sheikh men rock awesome headdress, I want one. Well this is my life right now, just sitting and watching, I have already walked all around. It is time to rest a little before the next flight. Peace.

P.S. Email is free, everything else is not :/ So email me, I am saving up for the calls and SMS that need to be made ;)
