This book is entertaining but the author *constantly* reminds the reader what HIDEOUSLY UNATTRACTIVE LOSERS bald and balding men are.

Today in Mumbai: did a Bollywood dance class and a studio tour (they were filming vertical dramas for social media), then walked along the beach.

"We're trying to see as much of the world as we can while we can, before everything goes to shit," I always say when people ask about our travels.

Feeling it especially now we're trying to enjoy India while my motherland is being attacked by Iran because of crazy old men ruining everything.
