One of the most interesting things I read in the newspaper while in Delhi was the matrimonials in the Sunday Times of India. The section consisted of page after page of personal classifieds by families unapologetically seeking the perfect made to order husband or wife for children whose time has come to make a love [...]

Stray dogs are one of my favorite sights in Delhi. They are all mutts and they loaf around the city. I have even seen them lying in the roadways oblivious to traffic whizzing by. Delhi has cleared many of them away from the games and venues. Today they were rounding them up at the field [...]
