Around the World in 80 Days
Day 27: 21 October

I end the day at the Chowpatty beach. From here the tower blocks of Nariman Point make the Bombay skyline twinkle like Manhattan. Here on the beach at night is a public massage school, where students try out their technique on anyone willing to take the risk. I settle for a scalp massage. It's so powerful that I actually worry at one point that his fingers may enter my head, in a sort of digital acupuncture.
