Your post revived the thread for no good purpose.

One of the reasons I enjoy being on Indiamike, I am assured of a smile throughout the day...

I understand that hitting 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' on your PC makes posts disappear.

So does reformatting your hard drive.

The thread is as relevant now as it was 5 years ago. Did this problem somehow go away in the past 5 years?

This old thread is reminding me of my Delhi freakout four years ago... and now I'm curious if I'll be as freaked the second time, when I go in August.

Though this time I hope to remember that being freaked is 99% of the fun.

Well, which is it?

You're the one who revived it out of the blue and suggested it should be deleted because it was old. Now you're saying it's as relevant now as it was five years ago - and I agree - but it would have been much more understandable if it had been revived by a new post made by a member who was having a freak-out like the OP's, instead of being revived by a post saying, "this is old, maybe it should be removed".

I understand that hitting "forehead" with a large mallet makes everything disappear for a while.

I'm very confused.

Great thread though.

It's India, you're supposed to be confused. If it starts making sense, you've accidentally boarded a flight home.

Hey! We are never confused in India, though we are often wrong.

George W. Bush would feel right at home in India! (sorry, I veered OT ... )
