a tad from delhi...

well, it's been a while since i last posted anything, so here goes...

the rest of rajasthan was nice, since we met some friends and prolonged our stay a bit... the not so nice thing is that my stupid usb transferred the virus that i mentioned earlier and infected nitin's laptop, so we lost all the data. yeah.
luckily, nitin had gotten his laptop recently and it had vista on it, which miraculously saved all the data even though he restored it fully to the factory setting. i don't know if i'm that much out of date, but this is great and it's so nice to see all those photos back on...

anyway, delhi's been weird, especially after the last couple of times i was here and it felt great. this time i just felt suffocated by it, by its shitty weather and the shit-covered streets, there's a massive cold front along whole asia and it's coming down from the himalayas, but it's sunny today, so we'll see what we'll do. nitin suggested we might play volleyball or something, since we're not going to corbett reserve till next week, from what it looks like.
oh yeah, the other day i took the metro three lines operating at the moment and more about to come by 2010) and it was cool, super clean and fast.

anyway, i haven't been doing much but sitting in my room and trying to fix my broken discman. last night i got really pissed off by this guy who plays harmonium, the world's most annoying instrument, at insane times like 11 pm or 7 am. so just now i went and bough another crappy discman, which is hopefully gonna get me through all of this guy's musical nights...

i haven't got a clue where to go next, since i was planning to go north, but i just keep reading about record snowfalls (like in the past 100 years) in the newspapers. i've been talking to marina and nitin, so after corbett i might stick around uttaranchal, going to haridwar, rishikesh and around and then coming back to celebrate marina and nitin's anniversary and waving them bye...
then we'll see, i might go down to orccha or somewhere around, since i've spent most of my money and there's no way i can afford going to nepal and around, as the original plan was...

anyway, there's not much i've got to say actually, i have a feeling like i should leave delhi for a bit, since it seems a bit overwhelming at times, but i've run into some people here and i'm trying to find some charm in it all. the crazy thing's that i'm actually managing...

since i've no idea where i'll be off to next, don't get all worried if i don't write or post, since the internet in the mountains can sometimes be hard to find. you'll hear from me when i get a hold of a computer or when i get back to delhi or somewhere...

i hope all's ok with you guys, have fun and i'll talk to you soon...

cheers from at-the-moment sunny delhi!
