Am now in Mumbai enjoying a few days' R&R before I head back home. Air conditioning is a lovely and wonderful thing. As is my uncle's bar.
In lieu of a proper entry, here's today's fun fact: you will regularly hear the word "y'all" used in Mumbai, by native Indians. Hindi, like most languages, demonstrates respect by using the second person plural. So, lacking an internationally accepted translation for the Hindi "aap", they've chosen "y'all". It sounds strange to hear without any trace of a Southern US accent, but also kind of cool.
