1. Brains

for dinner at friends' home in Delhi. Fortunately, the dish was passed to me first, and I politely declined, thereby alerting my brother and my dad to do likewise.
2. Yak butter tea is a staple in Ladakh and parts of Kashmir, but one tiny sip was all I could manage. To save face, everytime the cup was passed to me again, I just put it
up to my mouth and faked a big swallow.
