4hr train ride from Delhi to Chandigarh

I flew in from KL to Chennai and stayed at the airport over night for about 7hrs. Wow that was a long and uncomfortable night. I then jumped on a domestic plane from Chennai to Delhi. Now domestic travel in India is something to be desired. The terminal is like a dirty run down warehouse with people everywhere, but security is tight, very tight. It seems like the military runs security as they are all dressed in army clothes with machine guns and cold faces. They line you up like cattle to check every person over and every bag has to be checked over and scanned before you even check in. You are then escorted to a bus which takes you to the plane. The airline I flew with was good, clean and had professional staff and of course I got my upgrade as I always do! Lol

Leaving the airport in Delhi is just awesome. One word “Chaos”, but as you leave the airport you soon realize that all of Delhi is Chaos, and as you leave Delhi you then realize that all of India is Chaos., but organized chaos. You really need to experience it yourself. When you come to India for the second time, and even for me it is twice in one year, the smell and pollution is not as confronting as the first time. But for me you still marvel at the traffic and madness of the streets.
As we were driving to my hotel, I noticed a family under a bridge. We had stopped as the traffic was jammed, but I noticed this family which consisted of 3 small children maybe 1, 2 and 3 years old. These children were just playing on the corner of the road. They seemed to be completely oblivious to the traffic which was just meters away. As we stopped they came over to all the cars and just stood at the windows and starred straight into our eyes. They were taught to be beggars when the cars stopped. It was so heart tearing when you saw these little children on their tippy toes starring at us all in the cars. They were beautiful children but they were filthy dirty. Dirt all over their faces and skin, all over their torn old clothes, it was a very sad site. There are hundreds and thousands of children just like these 3 children, all over India. How could we not just sponsor one child? How could we not just try to support just one!
Today I’m travelling to Chandigarh. Chandigarh is 4 hrs North of Delhi by Train. You might think the airport sounds crazy, wait till you experience a train station… but that’s another story another day…

Talking to a big business tycoon here in India he says that many of the large building in the cities are still under British rule contracts. Meaning that some billionaire business people still only pay $1, or there a bout’s, per year for the building in the CBD. They then re-Lease this building for hundreds of thousands of US dollars every month. The Government will not do anything about it as these Billionaire business people are feeding the Government… Hmmmm corruption or WHAT!!!!
Did you know that India has a 2 child policy…… It has been in since the 1970s. Yes that’s right, Indian families are only allowed to have 2 children! ?!?!
