Northern Sojourn: Day 2

Morning it was, as we reached New Delhi station. Excited at the prospects that lay ahead of us for the next 5 days. Arvind, Yash and Prateek left to find us a place to keep our bags for the time being so that we could freshen up and wait for our TATA winger, which was to take us sight-seeing in Delhi.
Turns out, the only Hotel they found was a run down cheapo place. I was afraid they might be hiding webcams in the rooms. Prateek was mighty pissed. Not exactly the best start to the trip. But we tided over it. A few fights and one broken sofa later, we moved out into the Winger.
The Lotus temple was first up. After an inspiring hour at the temple, we left for the Qutub Minar. It was in the minar complex that the guys found that Chinese Girls could be cute as well. A few clicks here and there and we were off to Ghaziabad for lunch.
It was lunch at a small Dhaba. After relishing our butter chicken and rotis, Nippa was in his element, arranging for 8 cans of draught beer. One for each of us. Arvind was the only sourpuss.
Brilliant. In the evening, the Winger dropped us at Old Delhi. After ensuring that our bags were safe in the cloak room, we were off for a tour of Chandni Chowk.
Dozens of jalebis and Parathas later, we were all on the train to Haridwar. Our first eventful day on the trip.
