Confessions of A Reluctant Delhiite

Tis the time of the year when I come in contact with people who I never meet otherwise. I have no issues with Diwali bakshish to guys like the postman, security guard etc etc. What gets my goat is when the telegram guys ask for gratification. I mean when was the last time anyone ever got a telegram ?

Outside of this the best part of Diwali is that it means winter is near. Its the best part of the year in Delhi and makes it almost bearable to exist there. Anyway hopefully not too many years left here....
