Back in India- Delhi now

[floridarob]

Let's see if I find anything good to post about.... I'm staying at a new Hilton on the outskirts of the city, cows and horses grazing next door. Lot's of construction so one day will be busy.

I'm moving more into the center of town Sunday.

I brought the 19 yr old I met in Kolkata last time, so I'm not alone and he likes to be a whore too..... fingers crossed, the apps are a challenge here because almost no one puts their real pic and too many hairy/fat guys, but lots of tops... just gotta filter thru a lot of shit to get to the good ones.

Most are not looking for money and the few that are, looking for about 20usd max.

I guess you will do a bit of sightseeing on the trip. I am told the restored Humayun's Tomb is beautiful and the Red Fort is a must.

🕌 Delhi, India – The Maharaja Diaries (Gay Edition)

Getting here was its own adventure: four hours by bus to Cancún, four hours killing time in the VIP lounge, then a sweet-spot reward redemption — 88,000 miles for a United Business Class seat that usually runs 250–500K. Total bargain.

I had an eight-hour Newark layover, so naturally I did what any reasonable gay traveler does: ran errands. Grabbed Amazon orders at an airport hotel that I had a fake cancellable reservation for , hit the mall for a swimsuit (for the 19-year-old Kolkata cutie joining me in India), and  lunch and dinner at the Polaris Lounge — both featuring hamburgers so horrible Even the manager couldn’t save them either time, SAD.

Then came the 14.5-hour flight to Delhi — 100% full, one-hour delay, but blissfully in business class. Worth every mile.

My friend Piyush (the Kolkata guy) landed earlier, met me at Terminal 3, and we taxied to the Hilton Gurugram Baani City Centre, about an hour from the airport. Gorgeous hotel — scored an upgrade to a wraparound-balcony suite, thanks to my Diamond status and ex-GM contacts.

The staff worked long hours — it felt like being on a cruise ship. Same faces at breakfast and again at the Executive Lounge at night. By day three, we felt like family, even with a group goodbye photo.

On the gay front: a few staff faces popped up on Grindr (👀 awkward breakfast moments followed), but we had fun joking about who they thought was the top and bottom Met another gay guest who was basically the Indian version of Namazu — hot-and-cold running men to his door all day.

Grindr itself was… an experience. Getting real photos from Indian guys is like pulling teeth and WAYYY to many hairy guys, fatties and beards, I have a friend into that NOT me. Some were 20 miles away and still willing to come over. And if you’re a size queen, let’s just say… this isn’t your pilgrimage. 😏

Only one guy asked for money after — $5 USD. Honestly? I gave it. He earned it.

After three days I moved downtown to the Hilton Garden Inn — simpler, smaller, but solid location and staff. Then it was time to play tourist (yes, even I can do daylight). Took the train to Agra for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort — totally worth it, took the train, half the time vs driving, I was impressed by the service and the meal served.

Pro tip: hired a local driver for about $15/day and a guide for $10 — he got Piyush straight into the foreigners’ line (zero wait) and hooked us up with a pro photographer who literally cleared crowds for our shots. Locals kept asking for selfies with me — apparently, a pale guy in Agra is a big deal. According to Piyush, those families will hang that pic in their house like it’s a shrine.... now I know how celebrities feel, except with different bank accounts.

We also did the Lotus Temple and Sarojini Market in Delhi. I ignored most Grindr invites those days — spiritual enlightenment over sexual entertainment, for once.

Though to be fair, some guys quoted $100–200 USD to which Piyush told me to ask them if they are a Bollywood star, lol. Most, however, hovered around $15–30, travel included.

Next stop: Pune and the Conrad, where a jaw-dropping upgrade is already waiting. — the Indian adventure continues. 🇮🇳✨
