Sending you my itinerary and my blog. I'm sure you've got plenty of info to fit in just one day, but I wanted to tell you that I really liked the Ghandi museum (Dave and I both read the recent biography on him right before/during the trip), the Victoria train station (for architecture) and the Banganga village (just to walk around and see everyday life) 

and spotting the dabawallas (more everyday life, especially after that cute movie)

Happy for you to go!
