A clinic at Asha HQ

Today, I was scheduled to go back to Mayapuri but due to an Asha staff member's illness I did a clinic at the Asha HQ building instead

It meant that I was able to briefly catch up with Dr Ranju again - I met Dr Sharmila earlier in the week.  Dr Ranju did a clinic for Obstetrics and Gynae patients while I saw the rest, which suited me fine!

The clinic was fairly brief so I had an afternoon free.  It was suggested that I should visit a big Hindu temple that we had seen on our way to the slums on the other side of the Yamuna river - the Akshardham Mandir. A driver took me there, and he had never been before so we enjoyed it together.  Unfortunately no cameras or mobile phones were allowed so I cannot show you how beautiful it is.  There are amazing red sandstone carvings all around the building including 148 almost life size elephants.  Inside is mainly white marble and the sanctuary is dazzling with gold and sparkling jewels!

I did manage to get a bad photo from the road outside to give you a (poor) impression of its scale:

I came home early and have spent the afternoon doing a powepoint presentation for tomorrow. I will be speaking to the Asha staff about high blood pressure.

Last day tomorrow...it's gone so fast!
