A Tourist

Hi guys! I recently went for an exciting tour to some places in India. Here I noticed many foreign tourists from different countries. To tell you the truth, they did look strange among the huge crowd of Indians. This is what I suppose got them those earnest glares. So today I decided to dawn the shoes of a foreign tourist in India and write a short autobiography upon them. So pull you socks high and enjoy this post!

With a huge but flashy bag strapped on my shoulders and stomach, I traveled through those Indian streets. I had a small guide book in my hand at which I occasionally glanced to refer to and also to hide my face from those embarrassing glares. A child clad in poor clothes hindered near me begging for a penny in some language which was gibberish to me. I put an Indian note in her hand and her face lit up. Later I heard someone commenting on my foolishness saying that I had given a hundred rupee to her which was of immense value in India.

I couldn’t understand why I attracted so much attention in this place but it wasn’t really good. People often asked for photos to be clicked with me to which I readily agreed when the contrast was in my mind. I felt absolutely like a celebrity at this time. Now I pity those poor actors who have to endure this discomfiture as soon as they stepped out of their house. Without knowing what to do I waved at the people who were continuously staring at me. This brought much more bad luck as they smirked a smile at me.

At the end of the day too I couldn’t understand if it was my dress, attire or looks which caught so much interest of the Indians. Throughout the day I couldn’t really concentrate on the places I visited and often ducked behind the guide book or anything similar. The next day of the tour I was wary to go sightseeing but this was the purpose I was here for so I endures on another hard journey through the Indian streets keeping yesterday’s mistakes in mind. I suppose I kept improving and avoiding more glances as the days went past and as the tour ended, visiting another place like this wasn’t a really good option on my mind.
