Completed reading "Delhi" by Khushwant Singh on the bus somewhere near Khadkee.
It rekindled (or is it "kindled") an interest in history for me. This is the way they should be teaching us history in school.
The book is about "Delhi" narrated in first person by many people throughout the ages starting from Timur, it gets autobiographical in patches and goes back and forth from the past to the present without a break in the narrative.
How I wish I had spent my two months in Delhi better than running around trying to correct components of home appliances during my stint at CG appliances. Someday I will go back to Delhi and see it through the eyes of Meer Taqi Meer or Nadir Shah or Bhagmati from Lal Kuan. To say that I was very little away from visiting Lal Quila or the Qutub Minar or Jama Masjid and not seen any of them is a pity.
Coming back to the present ... should be getting back to reading
