Last day in Delhi

The last day, a few of us went to a market near the hotel which was filled with people and silks, food, shoes, kitchen appliances, toys…you name it, they were selling it. The markets are hot and dusty, busy and crowded. But, we were so glad that we had some free time to go explore and we had a really good time. Then we headed back to the train station. While we waited on the platform in the dark, little kids jumped off arriving trains and begged for our soda bottles, cereal, scarves, watches, bracelets, jackets and sweaters. Little kids (about 4) were holding infants (little sisters and brothers) and the ones that weren’t begging for food from us would hop off the platforms and go through the trash on the train tracks. Homeless with no legs or arms were begging for money. Huge rats were wandering around the platforms and in between luggage. We boarded the train and headed back to Delhi.
