Are we the tourists or the attraction?

  In Africa, people stared at us.  In India, people try to surreptitiously take our picture!  On 6 separate occasions, while visiting Hindu temples, the movies theater, and Ghandi's memorial, different groups of Indian tourists have asked to take our picture with them after unsuccessfully snapping them in private (and by private, I mean they have their children go really close to us with our back turned and have them smile).  An old lady, a group of teenagers, and a family are all examples of those who thought that we were the sights of India and were overjoyed to have our picture.
