Ah Delhi!

I am feeling very nostalgic today so I decided to visit this forgotten blog. I think I was in India for too long (yes, 3 weeks is long for investment banking holiday) this time and am missing all the things which I had forgotten existed. It was really hard to come back as there is not one good reason left to not work in India but NYC. And this is not only because my batchmates are getting paid more in bombay than I am here (ok, this is may be a big reason), but also because working in India means being closer to family and friends, some of whom I haven't met in years, simply because there is never enough time to go to bombay in my short India trips.

ah, Delhi, I loved the winter sun and the comfort that Nirulas still serves the exact same hot chocolate fudge! I love the shakarkandi chat on the sidewalk and that I ate fresh made to order jalebis. That people are still wearing the bling sarees at weddings/functions. That Dilli Haat is still a hot dating spot though cannibalized a bit by the thousand and one malls that have sprung up. That the gol gappas and the papri chaat still taste the same and that a family of four people can still be squeezed on a two wheeler. I just love Delhi and was missed not having a home there when my parents got transferred and going home meant going to Hyderabad, which is a great city, but is not Delhi. So I am thrilled that I again have a home in Delhi (in-laws)
