Hello guys. here are some pics from pahar ganj, the main backpacker area i'm currently staying at. it's unbearable hot, something around 44 degree with constant hot winds blowing through the samll alleys and the nowadays unpaved mainroad of main bazaar. you constantly have to drink about 6 liters of water a day to fight the dehydration and don't think i have to use a toilet ;)
despite the heat, everything's fine and the way it used to be here in pahar ganj. i spent most of the nights sleeping on the rooftop of a friends house which is propably the only way to escape the heat (at least if you can't afford a/c).
in a couple of hours i'm on my way to kashmir where i should arrive tomorrow afternoon...freinds told me the situation has calmed down since i left 6 months ago, but today my fixer told me about a strike because of the election-boycott by the main party in kashmir. so let's see how things develop in the cause of the next couple of days and week, in the foremath of the indian elections....
