- You find yourself tapping your feet to the same Bollywood beats you didn't really like on arrival
- You have spent the last three weeks drinking filtered (not bottled) water and eating food from roadside dhabas and your stomach has not even once swirled ominously
- You know more gossip about the Bollywood stars than the international celebs
- You end your sentences with yar instead of hey eg. "that meal was delicious, yar?"
- You nod your head from side to side instead of up and down when indicating understanding in a discussion - I actually caught myself doing this the other day!

You seem to have had a great time with the Tigers Yar :-)
hehe... that is probably the best thing about travelling...that you'd become adjusted to the lifestyle of another culture...
THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience)
By William Blake
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
