Kolkata International Airport. Early March. In Manchester, it had been 3 degrees Celsius with negligible humidity. In Kolkata the temperature was 33 degrees, with 70% humidity. (Actually I was fortunate - the temperature just yesterday in Kolkata was a record-equaling 43 degrees!)

The family had trekked out to the airport to meet me. I have to be honest and say, I always get a kick out of this, and not only because it is just so great to see them. Mridula's youngest daughter rugby tackles me on sight. The crowds at the airport never quite know what to make of all the hugging going on. Like, 'who is this hulking ferangi, to be greeted so enthusiastically by a flutter of Indian women? And look, now he's hugging them. Scandalous!'
