We landed in Delhi airport and were greeted by Shveta's mom, Rekha mausi, and mausa. It was really nice to see a familiar face! They took us straight to Ranju mausi's house, and we settled in for the night. I immediately felt alot of warmth from Rekha, although she didn't speak much English. Ranju is very boisterous, and one of the jolliest people I've ever met. She's always full of laughter, and is constantly having to remove her glasses to wipe the tears from her eyes! We spent the day visiting more family, and then had dinner with Ranju's sister Vandana. The sisters and Shveta's mom were having a great time at dinner, laughing and joking all night. I had a really good potato dish, that I can best describe as sweet and sour, spicy french fries.
We spent a couple days in Delhi visiting more family members, and stayed a few nights with Shveta's cousin Vinay. He has two cute daugheters who played games with us and talked our heads off :). His mother, Raj bua, lives with them and was very sweet.
Delhi was much more organized than Mumbai, and the roads were ALOT better. Traffic was still nuts, but at least the road wasn't all torn up. I still can't believe how much air pollution and trash is everywhere. This place would be so nice if they could just clean it up a bit.
