Dilly Haat and Hauz Khas

Last night K. Angela and Kuldip Nar hosted us and two other conference attendees for dinner. First they took us to Dilly Haat - like a Saturday market sponsored by the government where crafts people can sell their wares without all the middlemen taking all the profit. They get two weeks in one of the booths. Then we went to a part of town called Hauz Khas



that, as I understand it, was some sort of experimental village early on. Now it is a fashion area. Nevertheless, cows were wandering by for an evening stroll. The restaurant they wanted to take us to was no longer there. It would have been interesting to say the least. We went through an arcade in a building - not lights - and then the stairs went down into a tunnel. Lucky Joan bought a flashlight. But instead we walked over to Park Baluchi - also an interesting restaurant (musicians shown in previous post).

Kuldip and Angela run a website - www.responsenet.org - aimed at helping organizations that do development work communicate about what they are doing and connecting with others doing similar work. (I should have taken a picture of Angela - she is much more photogenic! But I must say, this is a particularly bad shot on my part.)
