A few weeks ago, in my review blog, I featured a guest post from a Twitter friend of mine - it was a review of a restaurant and his mouth-watering tweets caught my eye, and he kindly agreed to be a guest blogger for me. This week, @alltough shares with us a cycle ride he took at dawn through the streets of Old Delhi, in search of an ancient tomb.
Which he found.
But I musn’t spoil the tale.

Oh dear, oh dear, dear Mr. Shah Rukh Khan.
Oh dear.
This really will not do at all.
Mouthing off in public in front of your little girl. Now that’s what I call poor parenting.
