Shopping Delhi...Day 2

Went out with Tracey O's sister, Debbie, today. She came with car and driver in tow and led us on whirlwind tour of a couple of the shopping areas in town. Debbie was tireless in her pursuit of the "deal" and I managed to complete a large part of my gift buying.

Fell in love with a few kids who happened to be hawking various things. The kids were full of energy, hustle, inventiveness, charm and savvy. They make eye contact and don't back away from challenges. And so darn cute!

Sardar-ji: Tuc-Tuc driver who very kindly posed for me and not once did he reach out for a tip. Which, incidentally, I did not give him because it felt like I would be insulting him by doing so. He was gracious and a hand shake and a thank were gladly received by him. The only person on this day who was not looking, thinking, talking, insinuating or signalling that I give him some money, please, sir.
