a different side of delhi

my discovery of delhi metro made a big difference in the possibilities of exploring the city. it's also a trip to go from the dusty noisy chaotic streets in some parts of the city into the slick, organized, modern fast subway. we were so excited to take the elevated train (so we could see the city without sloughing through the streets) that we just picked random stops and went there. one stop, tagore gardens, definitely did not have gardens or parks, and was rather dumpy. but on the other hand, we discovered the marching band district (the shops here are all clustered together. where you find one type of shop, you'll find them all).
