India or rather I should say Delhi will hold the Games in October. The centre of New Delhi and Old Delhi is undergoing a facelift.How in a million years they will achieve this is anyone's guess. Impossible!!!!
The whole of Delhi is a dust bath; or rather a sand bath. The women; with their babies left lying on piles of sand in temperatures touching 70 degrees centigrade isn.t a pleasant sight to see!; and most probably for just a hadful of rupees; but yet they smile. Nearly everyone wants to be photographed, some for their pleasure, but the majority for a rupee or so. The problem being is within secons a 7 or 8 year old street kid will follow you for the next 30 minutes, begging, begging and begging. It's hard not to give in, but you can't give money all the time. Also I don't want poised photos for the exhibition.
The pavements are a death trap, that's if you can call them pavements. If you aren't really careful you'll break a leg or worse. How the pedestrian visitors will walk about safely is difficult to see happening before October.
Today here, never ending heat........it's getting a little difficult.
