sense and sensibility and india

margaret: have you really been to india colonel?!?
colonel brandon: indeed, i have.
margaret: what's it like?
sir john: like? hot!
colonel brandon: (leaning in, oh so sexy) the air is full of spices.

when i passed through customs at the mumbai airport last night, the air was thick with the smell of incense. it continued out to the car park and all the way to my hotel. how can it smell so strongly of incense outside? everywhere? all the time?
sigh.
i love you, alan rickman.

goal for day 1, mumbai: find bollywood and get cast as an extra.
