The phoney war with Indian food is well and truly come to an end – sporadic guerilla attacks on my digestive system started last week, the bombers intensified the pressure over the weekend, and the ground troops are now well established and relentless in their pursuit of victory.
I am in Jaisalmer and will stay here for a few days until the assault ceases. There’s plenty to say from the Ashram, a brief stopover in Delhi, and here – but 10 minutes is currently about the limit at the computer. Hopefully I can establish a (temporary) ceasefire by Wednesday.
