Wherever I go, people come up to me to ask directions or get information from me. I am not sure why this happens. And it has happened to me twice already during my trip to India.
The first time was at the Delhi airport. I was waiting to pass through security when a man behind me asked if it was ok to walk through the metal detector holding his cell phone. I said, "No," and pointed him to the x-ray machine that was scanning carry-on luggage.
The second time was when I was getting off the plane in Dharamsala. As I was walking off the tarmac, an elderly woman approached me and asked if I was going to Bir (Deer Park). She was going to Bir and wanted to share the cost of a taxi. I responded that I was going near Deer Park, and that if there was room in the car, she could share my ride. As I waited in the baggage claim area, she came up to me again and said that she met a monk who was also going to Deer Park and that they were going to share the cost of a taxi. She then thanked me and we parted ways.
