I know you are dying to hear the thrilling conclusion of Josh and Ilan get arrested in India. Well, it’s a pretty simple story: climb under a barbwire fence for pristine Taj Mahal riverside views and then resist leaving private property when unidentified man tells us to leave. We’ve come to trust no one in India, so we weren’t about to walk off with some stranger just because he told us to. But when a man in uniform (with a gun) made his way towards us, we realized we had done something very very wrong. We were escorted past a big metal gate to the police station where everyone seemed to be enjoying scaring the bejesus out of the foreigners. I never thought I would hear the words “you are under arrest,” but they flowed with menace from the mouth of the Indian guard. Shit. Right about then we got real scared. Images flashed in my head of Indian prison torture (endless spicy curry diarrhea) and an eventual rescue by Bill Clinton. Luckily it never came to that. Between trying not to pee our pants we explained away our trespassing and thankfully they let us walk away scot free….
