Lal Kuan

Lal Kuan is in the heart of the famous Chandni Chowk.....this lane is littered with little shops selling kites to welding depots,small eateries for the rickshawpullers.The place is vibrant and we hardly ever notice how time flies.We have a number of women and children......all very needy but dignified in their approach.There is a great deal that we can learn from them.....bye for now as have to head to Sarai Khalil.Shuro and Daniel are doing a trial of our EMR system.
