Wednesday, May 30, 2007: Travel Update

All trains and buses to Delhi are cancelled for 24 hours due to riots and fighting. Instead, I am traveling by plane through Bombay (which is completely out of the way) and connecting on to Delhi. All direct flights have been sold out. Travel here is already chaotic and adding mass cancellations disrupts the already inefficient and overutilized system even more (calling it a system is a stretch). People have no respect for proper lines - cutting everyone and doing anything and everything to get to the front. Its a nightmare. My fingers are crossed that we make it to Delhi.
