without public transportation and a regular city lifestyle I am forced to realize that my independence has severely been cut off since coming to India. If I venture out on my own, family and friends are concerned for my safety and I realize that there are very few women out and about on their own regularly in India. It was similar in Istanbul but there I stayed in hostels and met other westerners. Here I am having trouble even finding the right bus.
Am currently in South Delhi staying with a friend and using her computer. Am planning out the rest of my trip and missing my f reedom to wander about where ever I please. I am missing order and chaos and am torn between the desire to plan the rest of my trip and the apprehension towards safety concerns which makes me want to consider a booked tour.
Never the less for the next four days I will be living the middle class Delhi life with invites to dinners and weddings, while hanging out with locals.
