you know you're back in india when . . .

1. people speak in vague terms such as, "i'm with a kind of friend right now."
2. auto drivers (enough said) refuse to give you proper change, even after you stage a sit-in following the ride.
3. you get to boulder at sunset to the sounds of evening prayers during Ramadan
4. you have more new friends after one day than you can count on two hands combined.
5. a complete stranger stops his motorcycle to tell your friend that you should be in hollywood.
