What's in a name?

I'm trying to think of a title for my book on India.

There are stories of travel weirdos, drugs, sex, violence and mayhem.
And then we move onto the second week!!

I thought "A BACK PASSAGE TO INDIA"

Too Subtle??

How's about.." Jaipur Jezzebelle."
Any suggestions gratefully received .

OK, how about "Adamantine". (It means "unbreakable".)

Or "Adamantly, Yours".

Considering your angst ridden journey, how about :

Rum Numb Satya...Hey !

With the subtitle...

Comicals Of A Death Dare Told (with due apologies to Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

50 ways to meet the Puggle of your dreams.

We'll get there soon.
I'm half way through the first chapter, the bit about the fishermen in Kochi trying to sell me a fish, and, when that didn't work, he whipped the family jewels out, surreptitiously, and offered me a walk along the promenade; I don't think it was to discuss the tidal variances.

That chapter of your soon to be magnum opus (your book not your jewels) should be titled : "Pen..is To Wink".

Do you wear a sticker on your forehead? Is it only visible to certain people? I couldn't see it. That's quite some technology!

Like a hologram, only visible from the right angle... or inclination?
