Shep in Delhi: 51st

Today Izzy and I were subjected to some typical Indian-ness by the Sikhs. We had planned to go to the Gurudwara with them and got up early and got ready, and then Raju left to the office. He said he'd be 30 mins so we went for an exploring session then returned and he wasn't back - "Another half an hour, maximum!" We were then driven to the other side of Delhi which took an hour in heat and traffic.When we got to Tilak Nagar we were invited into Raju's garment shop which appeared to have been shut for a few weeks and was for sale. Obviously they were hoping for a bit of revenue and I bought some trousers. Izzy was shown pretty much every piece of clothing they had but didn't want anything. We then waited around for Raju and I asked where he was. Nancy told me that he was getting some car insurance and that the men we'd just driven with across the city were customers, not friends of his. We waited around for a bit longer and then a bit longer, until I started looking at the time. I ahd to be in the office for 4 and Izzy was coming with me. Raju had promised we would be back in the city before 4. There was no sign of Raju at half 2 and so we went for a meal with Nancy and when he still wasn't around at 3 we hopped on a Metro. If there hadn't have been one close I probably wouldn't have been here now. As it happens I was early and I have a nice pair of new trousers, but still haven't seen a Gurudwara from the inside.
