Everywhere we go, people* ask if they can take a** picture with us. What’s up with this? We’re not in Papua, New Guinea, or even in the less-travelled parts of India. There are always other white people around. Is it because I’m tall? Or because H is particularly pretty? Or do Indian boys collect pictures of white people*** the way American boys collect trading cards?
* Mostly teenage boys. But just yesterday (for the first time) we were asked by what appeared to be a couple of young married women.
** They always ask if they can take “a picture” but they usually take six, with every combination of people present.
*** Or just white women? They usually seem creepily more interested in H than me.
