India’s Republic Day
Thursday was the big Republic Day parade in Delhi. I watched it from the comfort of television.
With just about everything closed for the holiday, the thunder rolled in and the rain started coming down pretty hard all day.
The restaurant delivery services were not available, even Swiggy was no go so I broke down and ordered…. Dominoes. It took me awhile to navigate the menu and to put in my address I had to learn this app called Zippr that helps pinpoint delivery locations in India.

You’ve got to love the way India embraces technology. I couldn’t get the Indian version of the Dominoes App in my iTunes, in the USA version you can build your pizza, it would be fun to do that Indian style. Let’s just say the menu is way different from what you’re used to in the USA.
Out of curiosity I checked to see if I could order on Amazon.in. I can, but my credit balance from Amazon.com does not carry over, they’re separate just like the Starbucks card. Also none of my credit or debit cards function properly online for ordering anything, at least so far. Fortunately Uber is cash free and the ATMs have worked fine. I take that back, I can order on Amazon.in with my debit card, I just couldn’t find any think I wanted. If you’re a shopper, leave a suggestion for me in the comments.
I’ll close with this friend from the garden.
