India has certainly been keeping me occupied; five days in this hyper-complicated, ultra-shambolic and uber-pretty country have already provided me with enough tales to tire my grandchildren through their adolescence. Four days in Mumbai simply slaughtered any preconceptions I had of that ever tumultuous metropolis, while my first day in Udaipur has been like a soul-massage. Having said that, Udaipur also seems to thrive on its own hotbed of chaos despite it being home to some of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.

I am keeping a detailed journal of daily events, which is now up to date after this evening’s gin sipping session on the rooftop restaurant of my hotel. This is certainly a country of contrasts, but it is one that I can see myself falling in love with as the days flutter past like lotus flowers in a cyclone.
