One thing we were not expecting and were totally unprepared for was our minor celebrity status. Because this are of India is so secluded, foreigners— especially tall blonde girls— are very uncommon. It has become normal for us to be followed by a group of people taking pictures of us when we go into town. So we started playing this game where we take pictures of people taking pictures of us… At one point during Ambubachi Mela, Suman and Aditya had to act as body guards while we hid and ran from the news trucks. We hope you find this as hilarious as we do. People are always surprised when I break out my camera and start snapping pictures of them… some pretend like they’re taking a picture of something next to us… some just keep taking pictures with no shame. Either way it’s turned in to a pretty amusing little game.
