The first in a series of videos touring our large hotel room.  Play it
with sound to hear N's narration.
The tour (continued). 
Near the beginning, N makes a comment about my note taking.
The tour (continued).  If you get a little confused about the
layout, don't worry about it.  The next video helps alleviate the
confusion a little, but the point of these videos isn't the layout of
the suite--it's about the size of it.
The following day has pictures of the hotel itself.

The toilet that appears briefly in this movie has a handle which flushes
upward.  How odd.
The final video in the tour. 
If you're alert, you'll notice the bathroom has a telephone!

Restaurant in Hotel Meghniwas
The hotel's dining room.  It doesn't match the style of the rest of the
hotel.
Chapati.   We had roti and naan with our entrees.
Cinnamon mint chutney to go with the chapati.
Paneer pasanda.  J and N decided to order it because we
hadn't seen it on a menu elsewhere and they trusted the Punjabis who ran
the hotel to be good with food.  The sauce was sweeter than
they expected.  (I had no expectations.)

Chili chicken.  Spicy, breaded and fried chicken.  It reminded me of
Chinese food.  We liked it.
Egg curry.  Decent.

Oddly, our raita had no cucumber.
