In what will surely go down as one of the sweatiest, most humid, and ultimately exhausting touristy things I've ever done, I went with a few of my clients to visit Akshardham, a newish temple just outside of Delhi that is a bit of a revival of traditional methods of Indian/Mughal architecture methods. In spite of creating an immediate need to launder every bit of fabric on my body, and the fact that the audio for a, yes, three hour tour of the grounds was exclusively in Hindi, it was a wonderful experience. We even made it just in time to participate in an evening prayer. It was a very cool evening.
That's really the only touristy thing I've done this trip, what with work and my general trend toward being lazy on the weekends and in the evenings and all. Furthermore, and not to sound unappreciative of my surroundings, I've spent quite a bit of time in this city over the last 15 months and have really seen most of the cooler sights. I DID, however, go see Hancock last weekend with my good friend Vikrant and his beautiful wife. Last year, Vik and I traveled all around India together, and managed to (mostly) stay out of trouble...here's a picture of us in Bangalore for proof:
Anyway, I'm coming home on Thursday, about two weeks earlier than expected. I adore this country, but can't say I'm too disappointed about heading back early. The lake beckons me.
