Dirt in the Air

It is hot here. There is also just a general film in the air, probably dust and pollution, and this film makes you always want to be drinking water. Luckily, there seems to always be servant boys around to be bringing you water. Well, not everywhere, but at restaurants, at work, at my guesthouse, at my hotel. Pitchers and water glasses are a common fixture of rooms.

As hot as it is here in Mumbai, it’s only a few degrees hotter than St. Louis during the hottest weeks of the year, and everyone around here says Delhi is about 5 degrees Celsius hotter than this. Suckers.
