January 8, 2000: Surya hotel (Best Western) in New Friends Colony, New Delhi I was met at the airport by Sanjay Sahay of Indo Asia Tours, with driver. My luggage was taken from me and I floated rather than walked, through the airport, which felt surprisingly subdued despite the number of people. Perhaps it was the weather, the time. It was 8:30 PM, dark and foggy, men in white turbans and camel colored wool wraps were piled on the curbs, their neat beards and mustaches made me think of swashbucklers. I hadn't expected such neatness. Negotiating several steep curbs, Sanjay pointed out the Indo Asia buses, white with a Ganesh logo stenciled in front, and then I was loaded into a sparkling white Ambassador for a half-hour drive to the Surya hotel (Best Western) in New Friends Colony, New Delhi. Accommodation was arranged by Spirit-of-India and Indo Asian Tours.
