Udaipur becomes dark gradually as the sun sets. First the hills; then the lakes; finally the narrow streets surrounding the older part of town. Most tourists have returned home for the evening. There are still some walking along the quieter streets. High-class escort girls in Udaipur generally choose to operate late into the night. At this time there is very little activity and very few disruptions. An independent escort girl explained to me how she blocks incoming calls prior to 8 pm. She stated that requests received during the day seem inappropriate to her. She seeks out clients who have already decided upon her services. These clients are clear-minded, calm and do not require lengthy explanations. Russian escorts continue to receive consistent attention. Their physical attributes vary greatly depending upon whether they are being illuminated by a street light. Their accents tend to sound both cautious and distant. A Russian escort girl has remained with me for two consecutive years.

She owns a small apartment located adjacent to the lake. She indicated that she finds operating in Udaipur preferable to large cities due to its slower pace. She changes phone numbers frequently and screens her potential clients more rigorously than previously. She prefers fewer appointments which provide her with greater satisfaction. VIP service transforms the overall experience from the beginning. VIP service includes improved accommodations and possibly a private entrance for the escort girl. The escort girl enters knowing which floor will provide her with the least noise. Conversations take place at a slower rate and silences are accepted as normal behavior. A client informed me that although he paid more for the VIP service, he did not feel nearly as exhausted as he normally does. It was an unusual outcome, however it frequently occurs at this level of service. As an independent worker, the escort girl bears all responsibility for her own safety, financial transactions, scheduling, and locations. If any aspect of her business goes awry, everything ceases. Intelligent escort girls will terminate contracts without remorse. They recognize that there will always be another opportunity to meet new people. Escort girls who agree to perform too quickly often regret doing so later on.

The natural surroundings of Udaipur make performing easy. Gentle breezes blow off the lake. Temple bells can be heard in the distance. You can simply stroll down a short distance from where you were sitting, sit down near the water's edge, speak when you feel like speaking, and allow whatever else occurs naturally or does not occur at all. Both alternatives are acceptable between two individuals who maintain mutual respect. On certain evenings, the conversation remains light-hearted and brief. The terms are clearly stated, and you bid each other farewell early in the morning. Other evenings last until daybreak begins to illuminate the palace. Whether a night lasts until sunrise depends on chemistry and mood. Labels such as high profile or VIP become irrelevant once the door closes behind the escort girl. Certain habits distinguish those escort girls whose careers endure. Those habits include clear communication; honest boundaries; and no pressure placed on clients after a contract is established. Escort girls who practice those three characteristics will remain in demand. Conversely, those escort girls who pressure clients or invent stories about their past experiences will disappear. Reputation travels rapidly amongst repeat clients. Udaipur possesses a remarkable ability to remain silent. Lakes lie still; boats stop moving; somewhere a car door opens in the dark; a woman exits; briefly talks; establishes terms; and then those two individuals control the remaining hours of the night. There are no proclamations of grandeur; there is no sense of being forced into anything. It is merely temporary companionship within a city that seems complete without additional enhancements.
