Don't be racist la. Have been to India for long periods and didn't die of any horrible smell. Close you nose from road dust yes!Btw astrology is another thing India is famous if you know where to go you will be surprised how accurate the reading can get.

sukothai Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 by "closing your nose" ...how can that be racist?? i have been to india for 6x and loving it.chennai, being a large city, is heavily congested with traffic. the industries contribute to the smog. There will also be areas that rubbish is dumped during the day and cleared at night. You will invite stares if you don a mask...so...close your nose! haha...it's figurative, Mr Knight!
