As a first time visiter to India, I had of course heard the, perhaps over recited, quote, “India is an assault on the senses.”  And while it is accurate, I do believe that I was unprepared for the cacophony of sound, the crush of people, and wild array of colors.  I don’t remember if it was Lord Curzon who said it first, but over a hundred years later it still holds true.

I had fun walking around the Red Fort:

and the Jama Masjid.
