In an effort to improve its the city's image for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the New Delhi government is imparting spoken English and etiquette training to some 8,000 auto-rickshaw drivers. A Hindustan Times report on the initiative had a very intriguing headline: "Feeling hot, madam?"



I wondered what were the chances of someone actually saying this (not due to poor English): "Feeling hot madam."



Knowing how unsafe women feel in the city, it shouldn't be a surprise to me if someone feels (or more appropriately molests) any foreign tourist arriving for the Games.
