When does the Indian megacity ever sleep? Its mechanics in perpetual motion, its speed blurs the daily collisions between dusk and dawn. Seamlessly elastic. Morphing. Constantly changing.

But that was for the press. The actual business was in the evening, at the dealer showroom on Janpath in the heart of Delhi.

On Monday, July 4, when Britain woke up to the news in the Guardian that in 2002 dead teenager Milly Dowler&rsquo;s phone had been hacked by one of Rupert Murdoch&rsquo;s papers, News of the World (NOTW), Prime Minister David Cameron was in Kabul rubbing shoulders with President Hamid Karzai. Outside the presidential palace, the two leaders were ready to address the media. As a young and confident Western leader, Cameron looked very much in charge and ready to answer any question. He turned to Karzai and said that in keeping with &ldquo;tradition&rdquo; the first question must go to Britain&rsquo;s national broadcaster, BBC. But the BBC reporter was not interested in troop deployment, the post-Osama scenario or the training of Afghan police. It was a question about Dowler&rsquo;s phone being hacked by NOTW.
