    I've never been to Noida or Gurgaon, despite having been to Delhi loads of times. They're 40-50kms away which would take 1.5-2hrs in a taxi, more in an auto rickshaw.

    But in that great novel White Tiger, which won the Booker Prize, the protagonists move there, and it's apparently filled with shopping 'malls', so completely different to the India I know and love.

    The rich elite live there and the wives go shopping.

    A sort of suburban America, but with street kids begging in 47 degrees in the shade before Monsoon breaks in June and it pisses down bullets of water for the next three months.

    Though I'm aware that saying this makes me sound like the sort of hippy ****er who wants India to stay poor so it doesn't lose it's spirituality, man.

    Though I do dislike the fact that there are far fewer cows on the streets of Delhi than there were 20 years ago.

    I went to a shopping mall in Delhi once which had a restaurant in a replica Raj-era railway carriage. They served an excellent laal maas, though.

    Those cows upset me because they're always chewing plastic bags. How many plastic bags does a cow want to eat, for ****'s sake?
