After a 20 hour flight, including a four hour stop over, I land in Delhi at 6am. I’m exhausted, apprehensive and slightly surprised by how unchaotic it is. Perhaps it’s the time, I’m sure few cities are roaring at 6am, but I expected something much different.
I was warned that I would be swarmed by taxi drivers upon exiting the airport, that the heat would be suffocating, the smells unbearable and the noise of constant honking car horns distressing. Did I make it to the right place? I’m left alone, no one approaches me, the weather is comfortable, there aren’t any offensive smells and for the most part it’s calm.
I’m here, in one piece, I made it.
