Rajdhani Express 4
Time to sleep again, perhaps last nap before reaching Delhi. I was reading the Grisham book after dinner but the woman in the berth below switched off the light. So I decided to sleep. Bikash Ghalay is also sleeping. I don’t want to sleep. For now blogging via iPhone seems to be the better option.…
