… My mother’s eternal words, reminding me America was already discovered and that day-dreaming was a long way from life’s truths.

[Emir Kusturica, Arizona Dream]
Columbus, if you think about it, was just a guy that lost his way. He wanted to go to India, he ended up in the New World.
And I am the same, but the other way around.

And as I discover, misunderstand and surrender to the Capital City, I write about the Delightful Delirium of my Daily life in Delhi.
