Hindi? What's that? We don't talk that round these parts - the local pubs
are full of Hindi-speaking IT exiles from the north who, of course, have to
order in English. Bombay and even Calcutta are far more "cosmopolitan" than
Bangalore, especially given that the city (and the state) is run by yokels,
though that's probably true for Maharashtra also.
Right, I' m off to the dreaded "villages" for a few days. My reward is Hong
Kong and Tokyo later this month.
