Late tonight, Yasmin and I at arrived Delhi Intl airport. There were a lot of people coming in for the much talked about Commonwealth Games, but we’re not here for that; this is a 10 day trip into Rajastan we’re on, Yasmin is writing a piece about the trip, and doing some photos for Harpers Magazine, & I’m carrying the bags. It’s my first ever trip to India, and we are going to visit some splendidid places and stay in some very fancy hotels.
We’ve checked into the Leela Palace hotel near the airport, and after a slow, hot bath watching Anne Hathaway in a period drama on telly through the bathroom’s glass wall, it’s bed because tomorrow we’ve got an early flight to Jodhpur; that’s right, the place where the New Romantic trousers come from.
iWwhooosh, s

E 'il mio primo viaggio in assoluto in India, e stiamo andando a visitare alcuni luoghi splendidi e soggiorneremo in alcuni hotel molto estrosi.
Siamo registrati all'albergo Leela Palace nei pressi dell'aeroporto, e dopo un lento bagno caldo a guardare Anne Hathaway in un dramma storico in televisione attraverso la parete di vetro del bagno,sarà ora di andare a letto perché domani abbiamo un volo presto per Jodhpur; ecco giusto, il luogo da dove provengono i pantaloni New Romantic.

We were woken early and tired by the sound of Delhi’s rush hour getting into full swing. Breakfast in a bustle of business people and tourists, piped bhangra, omlette bar. This seems like a place where things happen.
Drive to the domestic terminal.
The way people drive here deserves a mention. Cars and trucks and vans and little three wheeler…

The cocktail party.
At 5.30pm an Indian guy calls up in a bit of a flap.
“Please Mr Bon, party already started, Prince Charles there, can you go in 10 minutes please!”
“Impossible” I say, “we were told it was a six-thirty ride up the hill. We might be ready by six o’clock, but right now I’m butt nekk…
