Back to beautiful Bombay…
Bombay really is a memorable place, as are the other parts of India I have been lucky enough to visit (New Delhi and Agra, home of the Taj Mahal). The people seem warm in spite of their circumstances, although, that could be considered a patronising western view? Each and every one of the children I see on the streets in Bombay look happy, and the adults seem oddly, well, satisfied. Could be religion, culture, or the fact that 
the burden of aspiration weights heavier on the fallen, that on those who have never contemplated betterment? That’s my philosophical point of the day, well, just today.
Comedy weather entry in the Sydney Morning Herald, I’m reading it on the plane as I head for Singapore… Is the weather in Mumbai really SMOKE?
