In a few weeks I’m going to Delhi. It’s been a while since I visited this city, and my memories of it can’t be simply described. The Indian capital wasn’t exactly friendly, but I suppose expecting a friendly attitude from officers of the Ministry of Home Affairs would be too much 🙂 At the same time, for me this city will always have a sort of romantic aura – after … Read the rest
