4 Dec 2024: A Room With No Windows

I ended up in a rather depressing room on first arrival in India, I picked a cheap option, not the cheapest but pretty low on the budget for my trip. But it had no windows. I’m not staying long so I’m not worried about the fact i can’t see outside. But what i didn’t know, until my stay enlightened me was that a hotel with no windows is for (mainly young) couples to visit and have their secret rendezvous’ without the judgements of the outside world looking in on them. Moral of the story, if you’re booking a room on a budget, expect some rather interesting wildlife, and not the kind you’d see out of the window.
