Back to Delhi

After the Strings meeting in Puri I returned to Delhi. My idea was to spend a couple of days there just for sightseeing. Afterall, Delhi is the capital of India so this had to happen soon or later.

Before leaving Puri I had the opportunity to visit some other temples. The architecture is mostly the same everywhere. Nevertheless here are some photos.





As you can see in the first photo, more than my stylish standing, Im not wearing shoes. That's a requirement whenever you visit a hindu temple.
In the second photo you can see a priest having a bath. That water seemed so dirty!! as in any other place here.
The last photo was taken inside the temple. I can't tell which god is supposed to refer to but the priest has prayed for me. You were supposed to leave some money and sign to bookkeeping your offer. I left some ruppees. The priest said I will be very happy!!

I arrive in Delhi on tuesday evening, 11 of January. This time I go to Cyril's place by my own. I take the prepaid taxi. As in the last time the taxi driver doesn't know where Getanjali is and I start to think that I will have a long evening. He asks his friends and after some calls he figures it out. This time was much faster!

Cyril is not at home yet but he told me where the keys were.
He wants to join some friends for dinner and we do so. He tells me it is a very nice place but it is kind of hard to find. And in fact it is. He asks here and there. The place is really hidden but he was right about it. Very nice place and seems to be well known because it was crowded. The name of the place is Gunpowder. I think the name says a lot, we are going to have hot hot food. His friends were waiting and we meet. There are more foreigners here and that makes me feel more at home. Cyril orders some traditional food from his place, Keralla. I enjoyed it a lot. It was very good and spicy also.

We head back home. Some of his friends start to come to his place one after another. They are super cool. Most of them are part of a band called Higher Conscience. These guys love music and they are impressive with the instruments. The ambiance is just super cool, we have guitars and amazing players. And of course there's always some haxixe to relax our minds. Music, music and more music. It was a good soirée!!

The next day, the same guys and the same receipt. Music, tobacco, haxixe, guitar and more music. Super chilling environment.

Im starting to like Delhi!
