When one goes on vacation as tourists, one really annoying part is the fake hospitality of many people. Right from the taxi driver who helpfully suggests a particular eatery for a cut most likely to a guide who is more interested in selling you a handicraft, an astrologer or a stone rather than really telling you the history of the place, it gets mighty annoying.
Why do people hound tourists in this manner? Seriously, they do not take no for an answer. If you have to learn about perseverance these people make the best teachers. They are enough to spoil your experience of visiting a heritage monument. I had a tough time on my recent visit to Rajasthan with them.
But, what I was even more shocked about is how they harass the foreigners. Right from quoting astronomical prices to them to literally hounding them, I wonder what they think of the image that they are promoting about our country. Food for thought, right?
