On a recommendation from lonely planet we go on a walking tour of Delhi old town run by a former street child. He ran away from Lucknow when he was 7 after his parents died and he was mistreated by his aunt. He stowed on a train to Delhi and was soon living in the station, working as a garbage picker and luckily got referred to a local charity which has supported him ever since. Great tour of the city, ending with a rooftop view of Delhi and then on to one of the homes the charity supports. As always there's an eclectic mix of person people in the group and one American woman continually asked us "how did you find out about that?'. Linked to the roof top restaurant, I replied I looked up in the street, and everything else i replied just research and asking people! She was quite odd, but funny and has now provided a new saying when we see something new!
