Found a great little gym, albeit right next to a stagnant waterway, but with a real character and no frills exercise options. Plays some thumping super techno hits such as ‘Disco Samurai’ and 'Eternity' (you know the one - it goes "Eternity, eternity, eternity, eternity"...ad nauseum).

At the villa, met Vaibhav and Paresh, two local workers for a Norwegian videoconferencing company, from Mumbai and Delhi respectively. Vaibhav, a quiet, but very intelligent man, sat tapping away at the laptop, pausing occasionally while Paresh jovially recounted the subtle differences in Indian languages that can lead to confusion and near-lynching in the wrong social situations. They gave me a crash course in Hinduism, cuisine and the history of Indian cricket coaches, while we shared a meal at the villa. After I displaying my lack of tolerance for the spicy food, Paresh gleefully recounted to me his fathers' saying that “Indian food is the only food you eat once, but experience twice”.
