Stobnicz R. 1963 Asian Trip New Delhi Jan. 17 I saw a group of 8 black water buffalo walking single file with a tiny boy following the last one. The pale gray humped cattle were common. Mrs Mason (who lives in Calcutta) told me that during death of cattle may be of more concern than human deaths. I had heard that people may lie on the street and be left for some time before removed. She pointed out that since so many people sleep on the ground with their faces covered, it is quite possible for a dead person to be considered to be sleeping and a man may begin to smell before his death is evident. I went to the canvas covered roadside place opposite run by the mongoloid (Tibetan) shop keeper who showed me the flute and stool set. He wanted 20 rupees for the set but I got him down to 12. Dent had told me the Indians & Tibetans expect to bargain and their first price is seldom held to. Left for Karachi on Pakistan International Airlines flight 206 at 7:40 p.m. from Palam International Airport. Flight time in piston plane about 2 1/2 hours. No difficulties with customs. Taken by bus to Palace
