| The heat was a nightmare in Delhi. Female tourists everywhere were
wearing shorts and sleeveless t-shirts, disrespecting local decency
etiquette and encouraging lechery from the Indian men. I respectfully
and fearfully wore sufficient clothing and sweated rivers. Half the
men in the cramped, stinking streets yelled ‘Hello Madam!’ to each of us as we strode
past.
On the day I experimented with wearing a sari, their eyes lit up with joy and they all called out with even more gusto, "Marry Indian man! Marry Indian man!"
