Qutab Minar is the tallest brick minaret in the world. It leans so far it's hard to imagine how it stays erect and doesn't tumble amongst the old ruins within the grounds. I spent a good portion of Sunday roaming around the grounds with a large crowd of people who seemed to enjoy spending some quiet time in the park surrounding Qutab Minar removed from the hustle and bustle that is New Delhi.

This morning was definitely something different. I ran in to a co-worker who I didn't realize was here! So, while heading to the office his driver hadn't arrived yet, so he jumped in my car. As we started to drive away his driver arrived, but he decided we'd just ride in the office together, catch up. And about two blocks away...BAM...we get rear ended...by his driver! (it was an accident).

Very odd, some arguing, some writing down of information, and we are on our way. No checking of damage, no checking that we are alright...just right back on the road. Luckily, no major injuries though my back is a little stiff. Could be mental more than anything else, we shall see how I feel in the morning. Guess you can chalk that up as another interesting experience in India!
