In Western hospitality, you get a mint on your pillow. In India, you get the family bed. The Indian lifestyle is rooted in the belief that guests bring positive energy. If you visit an Indian home, expect to be force-fed sweets, asked twenty personal questions (Are you married? Why not?), and sent home with leftovers you didn’t ask for. This isn't nosiness; it is a form of love. Hospitality in India is a spiritual act, not a social nicety.
