MUI for me was that "portable" travel tent I took to use on top of a bed, to protect me from BIG BUGS! I only saw one big bug in all of my travels, moved out immediately. Finally sent the tent home (in one of five packages of other MUI's sent home over the 6 weeks!)

Very entertaining thread! Reminds me of taking turtlenecks to California in July!
Coming back to MUI in India:
I carried a sleeping bag (down) in March to Madhya Pradesh!
I think it is a good choice for a visit during Dec to Feb though!

Well, I haven't read the whole thread, but seriously do not take a camera tripod of any size to India. You will not get it past security at a single monument.

This might now be termed as the MUI, but I purchased a pack of toilet paper in Jaisalmer in 2011 and completed a circular Rajasthan trip. Then I traveled to Darjeeling, Rameswaram, Banagalore, Pondicherry in 2012 with 'it' in my backpack. But still today the said toilet paper is unpacked.

Useless - pair of boots since I normally am comfy with flip flops
Useful - Iphone - kept me entertained while on those long travels. Played games, listen to music and stuff.

Or, take a tripod and shoot something other than monuments. We have used it successfully, for example, for kathakali dance and for mountains, also for night photography.

Go up the mountain cable car near Palm Springs. Even the locals get caught off guard by the tremendous temperature gradient..

Another MUI - the U shaped pillow or neck supporter... it's supposed to keep me comfortable but the feeling is not as expected!
