Tidbits

The following is a list of things, for better or worse, I find interesting here in India:
There are men who set up on the sidewalk and will fix your broken flip flops for a fee.
There are men who walk around with little kits who will clean your ears, inside and out, for a fee.
I once bought a pen, that I later found out, had no ink in it.
Indians will tilt their heads side to side, not forward and back to acknowledge "Yes".
In most guesthouse rooms that have hot water, the hot water isn't centrally cycling through the building, it comes from a "geyser" or small water heater that's mounted on the wall of each bathroom. It can take a couple hours to warm up if it's cold outside.
No guesthouses I have been to in India have any type of heating. At best they have a wood or coal stove in the main room downstairs and if you're lucky enough, will give you a hot water bottle on really cold nights.
Chai tea is usually served piping hot in a glass or a metal cup, both of which are near impossible to hold with hot liquid in them.
Stamps at the post office don't come pre glued, you have to apply it with your finger from a little well of snotty liquid.
For the northern part of India, Delhi is the main transportation hub for all airline flights. It is very difficult to get a flight in between any two cities. You have to fly from your departing city to Delhi and then change planes and fly to your destination.
All flights in Northern India, passing through Delhi leave at about the same time all over Northern India, making it very difficult to make any connecting flights on the same day.
When making a connecting flight, you have to go get your bag and recheck it in even if you are flying the same airline. They don't transfer it for you, making it necessary to have at least a couple hours between connecting flights, which you probably weren't going to make in the first place.
When booking a plane ticket or a train ticket online or with an agent, you can't just say you want to fly from city 'A' to city 'C' if there are no direct flights or trains between 'A' and 'C'. You have to say you want a flight from 'A' to 'B' and then 'B' to 'C'. Otherwise the agent or website will say they don't fly between those two cities.
Indian food is called Indian food on menus. Everything other than Indian and Chinese is called Continental.
A little spicy means really hot.
Indians are crazy about the sport Cricket and every kid in every town plays it, even with sticks and tennis balls. The kids in Varanasi would play it on the ghats and use boats to get the balls when they were hit into the water.
