Today has been devoted to re-working this blog, which will soon have a new look. Himmat has done sterling work, reading through all the complicated programming instructions, and inshallah, in a day or so, Delhi Diary will be sleeker and altogether sexier looking.
So a day glued to the computer, with not too much gadding about, which is a pain anyway in this heat. I did make an ill-fated attempt to go buy my next Book Club book at Aurobindo Place, but got defeated by the traffic.

I don’t think I dare ask how long is “a matter of time” ? I fear we’ll be having that champers this weekend.
