1 November 2015: Delhi

For some reason at Delhi airport there are baggage-men, who reorganise all the luggage on the carousels.  They start out by re-aligning bags so the handles are (marginally) easier to reach, and tossing around (but not actually removing) those plastic bins rucksacks and prams travel in.  After the first rush of luggage has eased they move onto clustering bags together (holding one bag steady for a short while until a line of bags groups behind it).  I'm not really sure either activity really helps facilitate luggage reclamation but they always seem to be there.  It's really annoying when they grab my bag to use as the cluster-forming bag, though; particularly when I was 30 seconds away from leaving the airport!

That bag in the orange-shirted man's hands is MINE!  So close...

The best way to get over a couple of long flights that I have found to date is to kick back on a large comfy bed with lots of pillows (bonus hotel upgrade recommended!), and enjoy masala chai while watching your footy team give the world a masterclass in how to play rugby retain the world cup.

This morning was pretty hazy - there was lots of Atmosphere in Lodhi Gardens.  It was a lovely cool morning for a walk.

It's noticeably wetter and damper than it was in early September, but the die-hard yoga people are still doing their open air classes, now with tarpaulins under their yoga mats.

There was also a laughter club: they do a few minutes' physical exercise (usually moving arms, torso, neck and head) and then roar with laughter for a few minutes, then repeat.  Even knowing there's no joke it is very cheering to be walking past people laughing so loudly.  It sounds very happy.
