Back in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. I no longer feel like such an idiot. My auto driver pulled up next to another auto driver to have a natter... and then I realised he was talking in English. Signs are in English, I haven't been asked if I speak Hindi once. Though I had just about learned to count in Hindi, I'm guessing I will lose that now.
Someone in MP asked if I knew enough Hindi to get by, I said "Yes, Pani, Namak, Chaawal"
(Water, Salt, Rice)
Though actually the list of essentials in India should read: water, salt, rice, antibiotics
