Q. What's worse than waking up with food poisoning the day before you are due to go on a plane to India for a month?
A. Waking up with food poisoning the day before you are due to go on a plane to India for a month and then discovering that you never picked up the tickets for your internal flight to Calcutta and the ones you've got are for a flight you cancelled.

What a fucking awful day. I was busy vomiting and shivering for most of it, but have now recovered enough to pack, even if getting on a jet plane is the last last thing I want to do...

Anyway. I'm sure it'll be all right in the end.

To find out if it is, head on over to our specially created India Blog.

Normal service will be resumed in January...
