Varun Sharma is tall, handsome, immaculately dressed, and can talk the hind leg off a donkey. He is also a truly gentle man in displaying genuine concern for the bell "boy" at the new Marunouchi Four Seasons, who turned out to be a young woman of such tiny, fragile proportions that he feared for her safety.
"It didn't seem right that she should have to carry my bags," he worries. "Even when she assured me there was no problem, since she had a trolley and help, it left me feeling uncomfortable."
Discomfort is not a sensation that Varun goes looking for (his name, he quips, meaning "god water" in Hindi, "for which read 'big drip' "). Quite the opposite, in fact.
