We arrive in Mumbai a little after midnight. I check the weather on my blackberry and it states 69 degrees and smoke. SMOKE! What does smoke mean? Is something burning? Three perky little pigs whisk through customs and baggage claim eager to see our Toby Sinclair - India guide extraordinaire - once more.

We carry an 8x10 picture of him to hold up to the awaiting crowd. I cry out, "Has anyone seen this man?" And a wonderful gentleman approaches and with his Indian accent says with excitement "He is over there!" Toby sees us, sees the sign and let's out an exclamation of both joy and chagrin. I can tell he is thinking, "Here we go again!"

We are back in India and so thrilled to be here. There is no smoke but there is the smell of sandalwood incense. Yes we are back in India where all the senses are brought to max overdrive. The smells, the sounds, the texture of all that is India wash over you every minute of everyday.
