India's national sport

While traveling in India, you will frequently be invited to participate in its national sport. While it seems like a pleasant past time, you should realize that it's an event Indians take very seriously. It looks like an activity you've enjoyed at home, but I warn you, no Westerner is practiced enough to challenge an Indian at this game. During your journey, you will frequently encounter tourists that have been wounded in their attempts. This sport requires exceptional reasoning skills, an excellent ability to read people, an unflappable poker face, and enormous amounts of patience. So you've been forewarned - when in India, steel yourself against the oh so innocent invitation to do some shopping!
