"Can I capture you? Can I hold you?"

said the Indian 20-something men that approached me and Maggie at the Suraj Kund Mela. Um, excuse me? You want to capture me and then hold me? While this sounds somewhat romantic/totally creepy/borderline plain scary, I'm afraid that I'll have to pass. Sad faced 20 something men try again with smiles and a more aggressive approach as they actually begin to do what they so politely asked to do earlier....Indeed they do capture us into their camera phones and hold us with one arm wrapped around our shoulders as we smile for the tiny lense. I love being lost in translation....
