Pune, an Indian city with audacious attitude

I was in Pune 2 weeks ago with my (non-Indian) gf. She quickly found out a practical way of getting rid of the constant requests for selfies with her: just ask them for 50 rupees per photo. Works great!

Unfortunately, that happens with almost every foreigner girl in India.

Unfortunately, that happens with almost every foreigner in India. Not just girl.

I was in Pune with colleagues for a business trip. This is what a walk on the street normally end up with:

Yeah, and if you travel as a couple, some guys will want to have a group photo with both of you, but attempt to move you a bit out of picture so that only your partner and the guy are taken. I presume this adds some bragging rights among peers.

It's funny, but one never knows when fun stops, especially in crowd of 10 local teens who are probably sexually frustrated (=horny) and overflowing with testosterone.

Strange, when I went to Goa with my wife (then GF) a few years back the locals were more interested in selfies with me. Then again, she tans very well while I was as white as a ghost. ;)
