It seems to be all go here in Delhi at the moment, with lots of friends on the move.
After a wonderful weekend of polo, the Delhi season ended on a fun note yesterday afternoon. Playing in the exhibition game were 3 good friends, Carine, Monica and Amer, so we had lots of people to cheer for. (It was great to have 2 women playing, as well, as we head into International Womens Day).
The main game - the last of the season - took a while to warm up, but the final chukker was tense, and there was [...]

V-Day and Chinese New Year passed by in a blur and a whirl.
Photo shoot. Long sunny brunch at Eden’s. Polo with Rajiva and Lizzie. I suppose I could be trite and say something like “typical winter Sunday,” except that for once it wasn’t.
For one thing it was baking hot over lunch, then became so cold by late afternoon that had the Club Tack Shop had a fleece for sale in my size, I would have bought one, just to keep warm for the closing chukkers of the game. But they only had XXL, silly people, so Lizzie [...]
