Fifteenth

I have a good reason as to why I didn't do a post yesterday: I left my tablet in the office. It made being at the hotel far less entertaining. I had to watch football.

So I'll write this as if it IS yesterday.

Today a bird shat on me on the way in to work. It wasn't just that it shat on me on the way in to work. It was that it was the first time I'd put on a different pair of trousers since I'd been here (you'll recall I was so proud of my new purchase on Sunday) and because of these trousers I can now wear one of other shirts I brought with me (it would have clashed with the other trousers). So this shirt has been unworn since I got here and I've been looking forward to it. I was also having a brilliant morning and I'd had my bananas on the way and the sun was shining and I had my shades on and everything was going right. I also didn't realise at first and got on a packed metro car and almost changed on to another with everyone noticing and no one informing me. I only realised because I wondered why my shoulder was getting wet and put my hand on it and... I had to make my second trip to McDonalds as a result.
We had an okay meeting after this and I had more aloo tikki from the shop down the road. Saumya showed me how to use my camera in a more manual way, so expect my photos to finally get better. As a result of this I have been 'clicking' (as they call it here) like crazy and there may be a surge in photo posts. Just tell me if there's too many.
I ordered my first room service yesterday and felt like a king. I also took a photo of a house in Paharganj that I've been wanting to do since I got here.
Mandy took me to a nice market area near Defence Colony where I saw the first truly internationally stocked I've seen so far. Loads of stuff from every continent.
