Traffic and hospitality - Amanda

Last night CJ made a list of tasks for today.



I wanted to buy a door for something I'm doing this Saturday. Steve and Lokesh had located a door place on their way to the printers, and Steve, myself and Palak went by Auto to buy it.

The civic elections for Gujarat happened last Sunday and the results came out today (a landslide victory to the BJP), so the traffic was worse than usual and it took ages to get there.

Because of the election results there were extra policemen on duty at the council offices opposite the door seller. The police got interested in our negotiations.



Eventually after photography on both sides (a policeman photographed us in front of the door), the police invited us to drink tea with them on the street.

Happily, even while stopping for chats and tea, we managed to get everything on the list done.
