| Morning
|
|
| The housekeeper/cook made us radish parantha for a late breakfast.
|
 |
| Gandhi Smriti
|
|
|
| Imprints of Gandhi's last footsteps and the place where he died.
| One of Gandhi's quotes which really struck me, partially because it
commanded one to develop one's own community (e.g., buy local), but
mainly because it calls villages "dung heaps," which, now that I've seen
some, realize is a not entirely inappropriate description.

| Chokola and Elsewhere in Khan Market
|
|
|
|
| Spicy hot chocolate. Richly chocolaty. Best hot chocolate ever.
| Marinara pizza. Since Chokola's menu has no Indian choices, I was
forced to branch out. It was good, with a slightly sweet crust
with a hint of of crispness as if the bottom was fried. Coming from the
San Francisco bay area, it was refreshing to eat a pizza dough with no
sourdough. The pizza was topped with lots of garlic. Mmmm.
| After our meal, we did errands in Khan Market (chemistry/pharmacy,
liquor store, photography store). Khan Market is relatively fancy
and clean for an Indian market. This picture is of an arbitrary part
of it, simply meant to capture the setting.
