Gurgaon is a city in its own right and it is full of big, shiny buildings for big, shiny companies. Whilst today about a million people live here, about ten years ago it was scrubland and noone seems to have told the previous inhabitants. Consequently, you get the rather lovely juxtaposition of wild boar hanging out outside Porsche show rooms.
I spent the day in Delhi proper yesterday and was fairly impressed with the number of eagles about.
Qutub provided the first wow moment of the day. A ruined mosque (that doesn't do it justice) made to seem all the more Indiana Jones by flocks of birds swooping through it.
Finished the day at Akshardham's water show. Now the water show was a lot less terrible than I feared, that said I was a bit confused as to why one of the most spectacular religious buildings in the world needed a Disney-esque sound and light show.
