My last picture of Delhi: Chanakya Puri's tree-lined avenues, on my way to the airport
The 10 things that I will miss more of Delhi:
- My lunches with Shairi
- Our dinners + Risk at Massi and Muna’s
- Our Friday lunches at Amici
- Our Sunday afternoon runs with Riccardo and Toshi in Lodi Garden
- Our ‘Bollywood’ evenings lounged about on our couch
- Our Saturday breakfasts on our terrace
- Chanyaka Puri’s tree-lined roads in October and November
- The Ford Foundation’s pool
- The ‘Indian miracle’
- Pansigh
The 10 things that I will miss less of Delhi:
- The people pushing and cutting the line while queuing
- The traffic
- The unceasing honking
- The pollution
- The 48 degrees for six months a year
- The 10 degrees inside the house for two months a year
- Fighting with each taxi driver, tuk-tuk driver, or rickshaw driver
- The people throwing the garbage out of their car because ‘anyway, there are those paid to clean’
- The people spitting out of the windows of the bus when I am passing close by with my scooter
- The food
Buffo che non rimpiangerai il cibo indiano, ma molte delle cose che rimpiangerai siano comunque legate a momenti conviviali...
ReplyDeletealla fine le cose che ci legano ad un luogo sono anche (o soprattutto?) legate alle persone con cui condividiamo quel luogo...
ReplyDeleteI miss our lunches too!! I was pleasantly suprised to see that on your list :) Looking forward to hearing your news of Roma...Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and Mathilde!
