Delhi do's and donts

Delhi 3:00 AM
I limped out of the Delhi station with a toe poking our of my news shoes. The peasant man who stole my was polite enough to leave me with his, as ugly, torn, and smelly as they were.

I walked into the cold night. The ground was mucky as the road, conveniently just outside the Delhi station, was being redone. Ahead of me three lines of gauntly lit lights drooped on dirt awnings. A cow stood in the middle of the road looking at me blindly. Beside him two men sat on their heels crouched over a burning piece of plastic.
Ahhh Delhi.
My hotel was easy to find and within minutes I was checked in and in bed sleeping. I had things to do in Delhi and I needed to be up early to do them.
