Watching the Super Bowl at the U.S. embassy in Delhi

Giants fans cheer the victory.

I’m not remotely a football fan, but when I heard they were showing the Super Bowl at the U.S. Embassy in Delhi, I wanted to go. They were showing the game at the American Community Support Association (ACSA) restaurant, but you needed to be a member or a guest of one to come in. So I texted a guy I met once who works at the embassy requesting an invite, and he agreed to sign me in.

Just before 5 am on Monday I stepped through a metal detector, showed the guards my passport, and was on my way to a posh restaurant where the game was playing on a projector.
