We met trushas aunty at the airport as they were heading to mumbai and we were to take their taxi (with her cousin) back to hardiwar. We were early (despite the unreliability of delhi cabs)and the security wouldnt let us in the building because we needed the people who were flying to be with us. So he pointed out a little caffe for us to go in, where we had countless drinks. we then realised sitting outside in the shade was cooler than sitting inside!!
The taxi finally arrived and we started our epic journey to haridwar. Though we only made it about an hour until we knocked a poor guy off his bike!! Luckily we think he escaped with just a broken arm. Everyone crowded around the taxi and If you have read shantaram (which i am reading now) you will know why we were scared!
We then had the true experience of cabs and got a new taxi that was meant to take 30mins to reach us but took 2hrs!! The policeman allowed us to sit in his radio control hut, where we witnessed a village argument going on outside. In true indiamn style they offered ua chai.
A full 6hrs later we arrived!! yay!
