India is a nation that eats, sleeps, works and plays outdoors.

Coming from a western perspective where a combination of climate and social constraint mean that people generally 'live' behind closed doors, in India people often have no choice but to coexist imtimately both with both their fellow countrymen and their environment - for better and for worse. This dynamic, this Indian DNA, creates a transparency that I've never experienced before. It's a nation that is alive, stimulating, interactive, and certainly never short of drama.
