The awful -
Bus-ride fr DD - Dharamsala, got a rash while trying to move a dusty bag.. eeuggh!
Primitive bureaucracy. For a lost airtic, it took multiple trips to e police stn, 2 advocate offices, airline office, airline hq.. a big effort n lots of waiting time to get a simple ticket replacement. Heat/dust of delhi & swindlers in e streets

*Thankfully, there was a lit. froggy beanie to keep me company .. ^ribbit^
