"Had breakfast [in the YMCA] with Bali, the Sikh. Went to his room and Nikki tried on different fashions - very attractive and original designs. Took us to his "factory" - his own family house in side streets of Delhi. Lots of family help in the business. Went to room at top with nice patio - great view over street below and roof tops of Delhi. Nice white-washed walls.
Nikki tried on loads of clothes and I gave advice! Lots had to be altered slightly - brother, cousin and designer all there too! (I tried on nice maxi cheese-cloth dress for fun).
Afterwards we had tea on patio, then lunch below - sister-in-law made lovely meal of curd, curried cauliflower, curried tiny beans, chapatis and salad. Then Bali directed us to B.A from his house.
No news. Back to hotel - reading when phone went - B.A said tickets should be here tomorrow! Nikki has money at High Commission if necessary! Celebrated with sundaes at "Kwalitys"!
