India is a shopping, eating Mecca.
We always leave 10kgs heavier in shoes and bangles and 5 kgs in chickpeas and spices.
The wacky array of consumer goods is like a bizarre adventure into everything you don’t need to clutter your life with, but will anyway because it looks so colourful and crazy.
And only one thing could combat the desire to shop and that’s a likely Indian ‘feeder’ of which there is no shortage. We succumb to our absolute weakness for chillies and the seductive use of spice in the Indian food is simply irresistible.
