Diwali Episode 1: The Spittle Attack

Festivals are the time you really get to see the true culture of a people. Like this Diwali, my first in the city of Delhi. Nothing could have prepared me for the awful experience of being spat at.

Yes people, I was spat at! Out on the road, near the bus stop, buying diyas, life couldn't have been more blissful. And then some guy, old enough to have been my father - but heaven knows all other comparison ends right there! - didn't see me cross the likely trajectory of his salivary waste. ewwwwe.

And it was my first day in my new jeans too.

And it was my first day as a bollywood-style shrew too.

"If you hadn't been old enough to be my father, I would have slapped you!!"

Believe it or not, but that's what I said!
