One week in Delhi

I arrived in Delhi a week ago, on Tuesday night. It really seems longer. Apu is off for a long weekend tomorrow so I will be on my own in my never-ending battle with cab drivers. Maybe I'll just hideout at Kahn market. It is now my favorite refuge with its cafes and bookstores.
I again tried to pack in the sights yesterday after work.
First Pujat Minar

I saw these amazing dogs:


I had been dying to go to this 24th floor revolving restaurant where you can get a good view of Delhi. Yes, I got this from a guide book. So we went, it wasn't dark, but already very grey outside by the time we got to the restaurant.
It was horribly depressing. The only occupied table was a group of 20 boyscoutes from Australia(i think) who were going around the table talking about what they learned from their trip. The group was actually adorable, and made me think of all my similar experiences with trips like theirs.
But of course, we left after 2 minutes. The height we were at really flattened out the city to just a splattering of lights but added nothing. Even on a sunny day it would have been a bad idea - Delhi is more of a city you see at eye level.
So our other option was a lounge near Connaught, also in the guidebook. We arrived only to find it was replaced by the All Sports Bar. Ok, its always good to watch olympics at a bar - we thought.
This bar turned out to be horrible, except for the tvs at every booth. Thanks for nothing guidebook.
After that, we decided to go to Apu's house for some actual food and drink. The cab driver decided to stop in the middle of our trip to get gas, which would have been fine except for the line of 20 cabs before him all waiting to get gas. While I took pictures of the line of cabs, some negotiation and yelling took place between Apu and the drivers and then we were on our way again.
Apu's house is in a large gated area of quiet tree-lined streets. They are renovating, so the first floor is mostly hollowed out, but the rest looks amazing. I ate a lot of pickled mangos and chillies and looked at Apu's engagement ceremony photos. They are really quiet amazing, she looks different from any times I have seen her. I'll have to convince her to put them online somewhere, it will really shock, really really shock risd people.
