Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 23:

After downing three vodka-limes in a row, Salome summoned a waiter and ordered a Baked Alaska. She walloped the creamy dessert and almost immediately afterwards let loose a horrific groan and made dramatic motions indicating she was about to throw up. “Pickled onions, please!” Adam called out urgently to Sher Khan, which Pia fuzzily deduced was a cure for puking. Sher Khan turned on his heel and made for the kitchen. Nose in the air, he returned to disdainfully proffer a salver of pickled pink pearl onions to Salome, just as a fountain of pre-digested mixed grill, vodka and dessert spurted out of her mouth, splattering his red uniformed vest with the gold buttons. Raghav and Pia gawked helplessly while Adam grabbed Salome’s head and pointed it towards the bank of plants beside their corner table, holding her in position until the revolting mess was spent.

Sher Khan swore softly in Hindi at the sight of his ruined splendor, whereupon Adam slapped down several hundred rupee notes on the table—more than enough to cover the bill plus an astronomical tip—and ordered them all out pronto. Hanging on to Raghav’s arm for support, puke streaking her mouth like vampire fangs, Salome waved shamelessly at their shocked audience and the four stumbled down the stairs and into the blinding sunshine of a Bangalore afternoon. Pia looked at the gold ring on her finger through a haze and smiled deliriously—soon she’d be flying westward with a man who adored her; every little thing, she was drunkenly convinced, would be just fine.
