Well my illness continued as before, and on the 25th, while sitting at one of the adjacent terminals in this web cafe, showed its finest form with me passing out. I had felt something kinda heavy coming on, so I turned off the monitor, and just rested on the computer table to ride out whatever it was... the next thing I knew I was dreaming - all very nice, and the next I was being shaken awake by the shopkeeper who wondered if there was something wrong - 'yes, something wrong' I told him. :) These two Vancouverites I'm traveling to Punjab with showed up a short time later while I was resting in an easy chair. I had already sussed out a doctor the day before, and once I had my strength back I made a bee-line for his office, some ~100' away. He listened to my story of the illness, etc, etc, and told me to come back that evening. I did, and he gave me a relatively full inspection (nothin south of the border mind you) and declared it to be a chest infection. He prescribed 3 days worth of medication and I've been getting better ever since. Tonight I had a bowl of raita and a garlic naan - the biggest meal I've had in 5 days or so, and I've had two more decent nights of sleep.

Now I've got to head back to the hotel, get packed, go to sleep, and at 7am I'll be waiting out on the road to meet up with the two Van guys. We'll head for the bus station to meet our other two companions, and we'll all bust out for Punjab!

OMG... 9 nights in Delhi... waaaaay too much.
