I had just checked into my hotel in New Delhi after a 15 hour flight.
After showering, I quite naturally sat down to check email, etc.
Sitting there in only pajama bottoms, I was surprised to hear my door unlock.
It was so unusual that I didn’t even move. Also, I was so tired, it probably didn’t even register.
The door swings open and there is a woman standing there.
No, she wasn’t naked or anything, but she was just as surprised as I was.
It turned out that the reception desk had told her the wrong room and miscoded her key card.
She was embarrassed. I was pleased that the hotel thought enough of me to send a woman to my room.
Just kidding.
She was also upset (understandably) about the security lapse.
The next evening, I got in the elevator and looked at the woman in it with me. “Hey, was that you last night?” I asked (sounds more X-rated than it really was).
Indeed it was.
