Gandhi’s samadhi

Just 13 hours and 22 minutes is the direct flight from Newark to Delhi on a new Boeing 777 with Continental. The plane was full and surprisingly with westerners, on the road to look for spiritual awakening in India instead of New Jersey. 12 years ago we were the only westerners in the plane and lots of Indians…. The Delhi airport changed and got more modern and slick. In front, the fleet of small Ambassador cars is still there but dwarfed by the new Toyotas and Hondas. The whole city changed. The dark roads where 12 years ago we drove in the middle of the night, not knowing where we are, are lit now on their entirety. Highways are crossing it on top. It was such a change that I thought that I never been in Delhi before but in some forgotten outpost. The Bed and Breakfast, The tree of Life,  we stayed in  is more than impressive. New and beautiful is better than in many places I ever stayed in Asia.

Here we go, leaving in a minute to Haridawr to Kumbha Mela.
