India Haiku Update

OK I have no idea where I left off, and I think that when I intended to talk about us conquering Delhi and Shimla, I may have only discussed (and even that, not at length) our time in Delhi.

In case I don't have time to write propper blogs about any of the past 5 days (which would include Shimla, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Delhi encore, and Fatehpour Sikri/Agra), I'm going to briefly compose haikus for each city and THEN expand with a fuller narrative ;)

SHIMLA

Toy train deceptive
Mountain men with no summits
Relaxing beauty

CHANDIGARH

Corbusier heat stroke
Lake forest of hide and Sikh
Heart of the Punjab

AMRITSAR

Nationalism
Golden Temple wet
Super-fast rickshaw

FATEHPOUR-SIKRI

Work mis-directed
Thirsty commercialism
Akbar forgotten
