"The air here is pungent and alive, like it has lots of legs and is running down the streets with the auto-rickshaws, coursing its ways through sari and bangle shops, past the place where phone cards and lighters are sold, punching its ways into the finest hotel, resting little. I like this air. It is muscular and audacious. It has verve. And no misgivings. It knows what it wants from us. Like the small girl in the hotel this morning who said, at the breakfast buffet, "No mommy, I don't want this!" (pointing at something that I couldn't identify) 'I want guava.' Indeed."
