It's my second time back in Delhi. Instead of a cheesy photograph of me holding the tip of the taj mahal, here's one of my favourite sights.I love the chaos. And being surprised every now and then. Like the truck with 'Horn me!' splashed across its back, or the decade-old water cooler in the office lobby which has transformed into a desert ecosystem, or the occasional cow moonlighting as a road divider.
My hotel room cost S$450 per night and hiring a chauffeur to take me around for interviews brought me back at least S$150. It's not a cheap city. But at the same time I see half-nude beggars lying by the side of dusty roads, lorries without doors overloaded with passengers, and unfinished buildings abandoned.
There is so much more to Delhi. I want it to amaze me more, and to keep me on my toes. It demands a trip here again, hopefully not for work the next time.
