A training programme in Stockholm sounded very appealing. For months I waited on tenterhooks, not sure if the trip would materialise. The wait ended on October 13, when I along with 24 other participants landed in the Swedish capital. A chill in the air and an intermittent light drizzle welcomed us at Arlanda airport. The first thing I noticed on venturing out of the airport was the fresh air, a sharp contrast to the smoggy air I had left behind in Delhi. A bus deposited us at our hotel in Gardet in a jiffy.
