The Delhi Emergency Kit: What to Pack
Every Delhiite knows the drill: traffic, weather, and unexpected delays. Your bag should be ready for anything. Start with a compact umbrella, a portable charger for your phone – absolutely crucial – and a small first-aid kit for minor scrapes. Don't forget a pack of tissues, a hand sanitizer, and a light snack like *samosas* to curb hunger during unexpected delays. Make sure these essentials fit perfectly in your bag.
Rainy Day Readiness: Staying Dry and Safe
Monsoon season in Delhi is no joke. A good umbrella is a must. Consider a waterproof phone case and a small, quick-drying towel. Opt for comfortable, waterproof footwear to navigate flooded streets. Carry a spare set of dry clothes if possible. Don’t forget a raincoat. These measures will help you stay dry, and ensure your safety on the roads. Prepare for *garam chai* breaks!
Traffic Tactics: Navigating Delhi's Roads
Delhi traffic can be a nightmare, so always have a backup plan. Keep a map app like Google Maps handy. Download offline maps in advance. Consider a portable power bank and a mobile holder for your car. Have a list of alternative routes. Be prepared for unexpected delays. Pack some *paratha* and curd for emergencies. Also, keep your cool and stay hydrated, you'll definitely need it!
Hunger Games: Snacking on the Go
Traffic and delays can make you hungry. Carry non-perishable snacks like granola bars, nuts, and dried fruits. For a more satisfying meal, consider pre-packed items. If you’re near a *dhabha*, you might want to order some *rajma chawal*! Don't forget a bottle of water to stay hydrated in the heat. These options will ensure you are not hungry and can survive a Delhi traffic jam!
Staying Connected and Informed
In a city like Delhi, staying connected is vital. Ensure your phone is fully charged with a power bank. Have a data plan in place for emergencies. Use social media and news apps for real-time traffic and weather updates. If you can, install a radio app to listen to local news and get updates. Knowing the latest updates is important to avoid any roadblocks. Keep the *gol gappe* handy!
