Cool - glad this was added! I just got back yesterday from 2 weeks in India/China.
Here's a sneak peak... Lambo sitting in the parking lot of the Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai. Assuming belongs to owner of Zapp! given the decals... big wedding taking place at the hotel, parking lot filled w/ Merc's, Bentley's, etc
Nice cars becoming more prevalent in India these days, but I still did a double-take when I saw this one.
(sorry for bad photos, was in hurry to catch a flight)

Ok guys, at the risk of sounding like an idiot I'm going to throw this out there. I just rented a house to a VERY nice Indian couple. Anyways.... Their move in date is April 1st but I let them move some small stuff in early. Last night I went to unhook the refrigerator from the water line and came home.
The second I opened the garage there was a very strong smell of spices. I went in the house and there was the same smell. On the kitchen counter there was a brown bag with some things that looked like almonds. This was clearly where the smell was coming from. When I say strong, I mean STRONG. I spent 15 mins there tops and didn't touch anything but the door handles and the water line but my hand had that smell on it for FOUR HOURS after I got home. I washed them 3-4x and it wouldn't go away.
Now my question is. What is this? Cooking spices? Some kind of housewarming thing? I'm really worried that I won't get the smell out after their lease is up and that will make the house unrentable in the future. I had Indian friends in high school/college and have worked with many Indian doctors but their houses don't smell like this. I LOVE Indian food and I enjoy curry more than you could imagine but this is something on another level and I don't think it's curry. Any info guys?

Are you sure it wasn't a "parting" gift from a disgruntled previous tenant ?
