Weather report: hazy fog/smog remained all day. I'm starting to think this is standard (overheard some people at breakfast remarking that there was one day a month ago when the sun came out, how wonderful). The locals keep saying it's because of all the construction. My wife, who did major research on New Delhi because we were thinking of coming here at one point, says it's because of all the dung they burn for fuel. I've decided to stop breathing. On the massage front, the classified page of the Hindustan Times has a whole section dedicated to "Health & Physical Fitness" that is dominated by ads offering all types of massages by "educated, trained, beautiful technicians." Apparently, Russians and Afhgans are very skilled in this area.

It's interesting that it was the colonial language, but it really gives Indians a heads up in international business and affairs. I'll ask someone to clarify.

I kind of like New Delhi. It's not bad once you get over the horrible smell that punches you in the face as you get off the plane. However, getting a good steak there is a real bitch. Overall, India is a pretty interesting place.

Ate at this place in the hotel the first day:
http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/01/...vel/trfood.php It was very good. Apparently Clinton ate there when he visited and they have now named a dish after him. It's practically all meat. I bet an Obama dish would end up on the vegetarian menu. Bush wouldn't eat here because they don't serve beef. More to come. I've noticed that there are a lot more vegetarian dishes here than one would find at your regular Indian restaurant in the U.S.

The beggars are a bit overwhelming. On the way to church today my car was stopped at a light. I turned to the right and had one of those horror movie stunners. In the window appeared, almost out of nowhere, an unkept little boy swinging an atrophied left arm for effect and begging for money. The driver said nothing and I looked away. The boy moved on to the next car. The day was filled with more, yet less dramatic encounters like that. I've lived in a lot of places and traveled to more. I've seen a lot of need, but the magnitude here is very dramatic. Church was very nice. The Delhi 2nd Branch appears big enough to be a ward. There are two missions in India now (Bangalore and New Delhi) and the missionaries are allowed to tract. Oh, when I checked in for my flight in Memphis, the ticket agent asked who was going to "Del-hai."
