- W3100123276 abstract "As challenging as I often found living in Kathmandu, my home base as I explored South Asia, I felt as if I had left a safe retreat and entered a maelstrom when I flew down to Delhi. By January of 2010 I had visited several times and had learned to negotiate the immense city to some extent. Still, the morning after I arrived, just the process of obtaining a SIM card for my phone sapped my energy. The tall man at the tiny general store near my guesthouse was quite pleasant. He apologized several times for all the forms I had to fill out to purchase a prepaid SIM card: the government was requiring even more documentation since the 2008 attacks in Mumbai. I had to go back to my room for a photo, then find a shop to make photocopies of my passport and visa. Then the store owner had to call the guesthouse owner, whom he knew, to vouch for me. I made a small mistake on one of the forms and had to start over. Yet this was only part of what taxed my equanimity. As I stood on the sidewalk at the shop counter negotiating the details, the store owner dexterously handled a couple of dozen other customers who crowded up on both sides and behind me to demand soap, toothpaste, recharge cards for their cell phones, potato chips, or little plastic pouches of milk. The man yelled for one of the boys who worked for him to bring a desired item from a shelf in back and bag it; he fanned through little stacks of recharge cards to find the right one for a customer; he took money and made change and still kept the process of my SIM card moving along, however slowly. Most of the other customers were yelling too, some of them quite close to my ear. I don’t understand much Hindi, but these were not angry exchanges. It was just business, just the pace of Delhi." @default.
