A sweet talking cocky rickshaw driver who got me into this traditional taj marble demonstration while likening me to a bolly wood movie star.... at least I know I could have a future in the Indian film industry!

My lovely couch surfing host Vasu who introduced me to all this madness. We would often go chill out, literally, in McDonalds or KFC and get some water and precious air-con time.

We spent a beautiful night out at India Gate and enjoyed a fun sprinkle of rain with everyone out like at a fun fair, bubbles flying toys balloons and lots of sweets!
Sweets!Sweets!
Sweets!
Enjoying some cotton candy, the only 'normal' sweet there was.
