93rd

So last night I went shopping for presents in Paharganj by myself. It was good fun, I didn't really get everything I wanted but it was nice to be alone in the chaos of the old city. Before that Mandi, Alka and I went to the IHC to meet the woman that is helping with Mandi's exhibition in Amsterdam. It sounds great so I'm gonna go and hopefully take in Berlin too.

It has been a hectic last day. I started off by saying goodbye to the Sikhs in Govindpuri. I thought they had my burgundy shirt but they didn't, so it was kind of a waste of time. I gave Raju the chess set I'd bought him and he beat me straight off the bat.
Next I went to see Saumya in Green Park and she fed me lunch and promised me she'd send me the photo for my Uno brochure interview soon. I hope it's better than the old one, but that won't be hard...
Then I went to the IHC to say final farewells to Preeti, Suprabha,  Saurabh and Dilpreet. They had chocolate cake for somebody's birthday and gave me a massive slice under the pretends that it was also for my leaving.

I then headed back to Paharganj to finish my shopping. And managed to do it! Then I came back for my final Indian dinner at Alka's and it was gorgeous. Hopefully I won't have to eat any airport food. I was just about to rush off to the New Delhi train station to catch the Reliant airport link metro, when Mukul stopped me and said he'd send the driver. I'm so lucky.
