The elevators at the Taj Mahal hotel in New Delhi

Another pleasant surprise: As the kind hostess who received us took us directly to our room upon arrival, the butler was awaiting us with refreshments at the door. Thank you Anshul (Rajv's friend from high school) and friend Manish (they studied hotel management together). Anshul worked at Oberoi Hotels in India for many years (He is now with The Four Seasons Hotels). Manish is with the Taj Group of Hotels.
