INDIA: Already enamoured

They’re all actors, some of them in Western films and some in Bollywood and Hindi commercials, and they’ve lived here all their lives.

 

 

We just sped down the streets of Calcutta, blasting daft punk before munching on some Punjab Chinese food with the best sweet lassi I’ve ever had.
