Top Ten Indications You've Been Living at a Business Hotel in India Too Long...
1. You automatically start the morning humming Celine Dion's 'The Power of Love,' courtesy of the hotel's ethereal and ubiquitous elevator music.
2. You can't wake up unless reception calls you on the bedside phone.
3. Every breakfast conversation you have over curry and muffins is essentially a briefing of your job description and resume.
4. You have become hotel gossip. People at the hotel start calling you by name and noticing when you wear a new outfit.
5. The bowl of fruit on your desk is starting to rot.
6. You stop collecting those cute little soaps.
7. You have some sort of plug or adapter fixed in every socket in the room.
8. Even when you have the morning to sleep in, you dutifully wake up in time to make it to the complementary breakfast. (Or is that just a sign that you're cheap?)
9. You routinely snuggle into bed for your nine p.m. conference calls.
10. You begin referring to the hotel as 'home.'

re: being hotel gossip: When I go to the cafe to eat alone, the staff asks "so, where's madam?" (referring to our blog hostess and my sometimes breakfast / dinner companion)
