Hindi is not spoken everywhere - South India has distinct languages (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam). English is often more useful than Hindi there.
Tipping isn't mandatory but appreciated - 10% in restaurants is generous; round up rickshaw fares; tip hotel staff 20-50 rupees for good service.
Drinking water with meals is common - Always have water nearby when eating spicy food. Lassi or buttermilk also help cool the burn.
Noise levels vary dramatically - Request rooms away from main roads, temples (loudspeakers!), or wedding halls for better sleep.
Rickshaw scams are the most common - research them beforehand
