Travel allows you to meet so many wonderful people and it also allows you to obtain a snap-shot of their life. Such a window of opportunity opened up for us on our first day in Delhi when the Nirula family allowed us to spend the day with them.
Obtaining a local's persceptive opens up a new dimension to travel. Sheela, Ajeet, Tarini and Shivani allowed us to share their table and feast upon traditional Indian wares. They also provided us with an opportunity to see places like Lodi Park with its Shish-Gumbad tombs built by the Lodi sultans (1451-1526), the Habitat Centre and the Super Malls of New Delhi.
Most of all they provided us with the opportunity to share stories, to reflect on the importance of family and to form an understanding that travel unites us all.
So to the Nirula family, thank you for your hospitality and your friendship.
