Rockland Inn New Delhi

... so it will seem like everybody is interested in you, wants to know about you. And you know, I just have to remember back to my childhood to understand this fascination with a foreigner. I can't believe I forgot it. I was the same! Whenever an English, Swiss or American came to our little town, the whole town knew about it, and he was a superstar. I, along with all the other children tried to spot him on the street and felt really special for having had one in my house. We're not that different.

... br> fort and palaces are impressive especially for
the delicacy and profusion of their architectural
embellishments. Bundi is equally well known for
its step wells as well as for its school of paintings.
Overnight at hotel.

... world away from the first hotel we stayed in but perfect for what we are looking for. Mind blowing colours, sounds, noises and people offering every type of product on the planet. We ended our day acruptly by getting back into taxi and heading to original hotel for some much needed serenity. The taxi driver did however make one stop on the way back atthe Best of India Museum which he explained as a must see. When we went inside we were hauled into shops and bombarded with silk ...

... The donee must accept the property during the lifetime of the donor and while he is still capable of giving. In case the donee dies before acceptance, the gift is void. The gift can be effected through a gift deed.

Here are some points that need to be considered while drafting a gift deed:
To make a valid gift of property
The donor is the person who gives. Any person who is competent to contract ...

... violence.A strong determination,too. India is a place with so many religions together (Hindu, muslim, budhist, christan) that it teaches tolerance. I admire Indian leaders like Sri Aurobindoor Gandhi *****spected allreligions,did not feelthe need to create their own (at the expense of other religions) and who found that harmony, peaceand brotherhood can be the ultimate goal in life.

... knowing it may have only been 75cents on the meter. The sights, the smells, the tastes, our first day in India was truly an assault on the senses, as they say. The people have a different definition of dirty, without a doubt, but past the filth appears to be a unique culture, wanting to say hello and smile as it passes by. Hopefully the upcoming weeks allow us to see and learn more than these basic greetings of India...

... several tombs, the largest tomb is that of Sikander Lodi. These tombs are beautiful but they do need some tlc and unfortunately the Indian Government and  restoration/preservation do not mix well.  Originally these would have been grand buildings and whilst you can still appreciate their grandeur from a distance up close you can see that the idea of accurate restoration is far from their minds. Repairs are made by covering the areas in a lime mix concrete or replacing fallen ...

... opposite. It's 5 days since i had one. There's an army Landrover parked next to him. I'm safe. At least if he slits my throat he won't get 10 yards before he's gunned down. He's an older man and he does a splendid job (much better than the young kid did) and ask how much. He speaks no English. A three-way conversation takes place between me, shaving man and the soldier. It's slightly convoluted but essentially the soldier says pay him what you think he's worth. I ...

... t what I thought it would be and became less and less intrigued by it. The architecture was amazing though. There are only 7 Baha'i temples in the world, at least one per continent (but I don't think Antarctica counts in that). What I've only found out recently is that the one in North America is in the Chicagoland area, and I plan to check it out soon. We were looking at pictures of all 7 temples while we were in the museum ...

... generally unhelpful and uncommunicative. I was missing Jitendra, our driver on the Mysore-Kabini trip - he was always trying to show us this or that, tell us about the people or the history, and went out of his way to please our changing desires. Even though I could hardly understand what he said either, he was so much nicer to deal with than this grumpy and uncooperative individual.
