Compu-Super-Bazaar

We got to Delhi with a brand new HP printer which had cleverly been sold without a USB cable. Some Google research revealed Nehru Place to be THE marketplace for all things computer. The rickshaw driver let us off at the outskirts and pointed. Broch and I dodged the lories and street muck into the first shop with a big "Printers" sign over it. He had exactly what we needed - 150Rs. I probably should have bartered for less but to me it was worth $3. We then walked into the interior of the plaza to find every hardware producer represented, as well as a huge flea market down the middle with menswear, watches, ties and shoes. Everything an upwardly mobile young computer professional could need I guess. Amazing.
