I was far from the mark in my assessment of what was going to be in the Delhi show. Those close to the action wouldn't speak, there was tons of politics around the show.

But your article does leave the reader with a sense that the Delhi show was just put up at the last moment and has the not-so-interesting pieces.globalbabblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943342464554767429noreply@blogger.com
