no problem india

as we safely landed yesterday in sweet home malaysia, i instantly text-ed the close people around me. along called and asked, "so, how was india?".

"a lot of delays, waiting & curries." he just had to laugh to it.

new delhi

as we stepped out from the indira gandhi international airport, the air that filled the atmosphere of new delhi was dusty. trees along the roads were all covered in sand, like as if they were snowed. men pissed by the roadside, ignoring the busy crowd with their own businesses. india, as we know it, is one of the country with the highest population: 321 883. there were families living in tents, cows hanging-out, cars as close as an inch to each other. we were supposed to fly out to kashmir on the 29th but the flight was delayed then canceled. from that incident, our itinerary was all mixed up. to get over our frustrations, we headed towards agra where the beautiful magnificent taj mahal, symbol of love stands, waiting for its worshippers.

the balcony of the palace where shah jahan was prisoned by his son because he wanted to build another similar taj mahal with black marbles.

their love story caught my heart instantly when the guide told us about it. if only they'd make it into a movie. the next day we headed back to delhi for our second chance of kashmir since it was the main purpose we joined this trip. the flight was delayed, but we managed to land in sri nagar's airport. you can imagine the glee on each of our faces. bad too bad, some of the plans they planned for us in kashmir had to be canceled due to the limited time.

sri nagar, kashmir

we didn't get to shop that much because the guide kept driving us to the tourist centre: where everything's expensive. we didn't get to go to the local market because of the delays & such. and owh. some selfish makciks did go to some market but didn't inform the whole troop. i was really pissed. & we didn't get to go to koral bagh, the A-Z market in delhi. why do i have the feeling that somehow india wants us back again?
