Delhi day one

Arrived in Delhi on 3rd of March for a north India tour.

The tour is facilitated by global exchange and explores effects of globalization in India, combined with sight seeing of Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Udaipur.

Day one

Holy day: festival of colors, is an old Hindu tradition and traditionally this has been the only day in the year that social restriction in regards to cast were ignored and everyone could participate and celebrate on equal terms in the festivities. Organic paint is used to color faces and clothes as a symbolic gesture, stemming from old Hindu mythology. A concoction of crushed Marijuana seed drink has also been traditionally consumed. But now that is topped by some very cheap spirits, and it can get pretty crazy to the point that tourists were warned to stay away from streets if they want to avoid paint all over their bodies.

The streets of Connaught Place were we are staying is pretty much deserted on this Sunday and all most shops are closed. A group of 6 guys in their mid twenties have removed a large loose stone from the side walk and turned it into a wicket for
Cricketers and the CopsYou can see one of the guys placing the stone block back along the sidewalk and cops giving them hell.playing cricket. Once they toss the coin to see who bats first, three cops show up and give them a big scolding and order them to place the stone back in the side walk,> They then order them to disperse and play in the near by park. Once the cops leave the rival teams almost break into a fist fight, the reason not quite clear. Then four four the guys jump on a small old Vespa and speed of out the square, with their cricket bat waving in the air.
