Just sharing my life with you all... So I am a pretty big man. I am from the USA and I currently live in India. People here think I am in the WWF. I just mind my own business, but I stand out. People look and stare at me like I am Elvis. All the beggar children and beggar adults come to me and ask for money. Some demand money from me! It is so strange and weird to be an un-medicated bipolar giant in India. Speaking of which, I need to try to sleep now so I do not get manic. Thanks for listening.

No, but that is a funny question! I do not think asking for autographs is part of their cultural behavior. They are very much influenced by a collective traditional culture here. In the US and other places many people seem to create their own culture and will think and act according to what they themselves feel is right and appropriate. Of course most people even in the US are influenced to various degrees by peers, pop culture, the powers that be and society in general. We all have values and desires. I try to focus on good things and desire to make good things happen. It can be a struggle sometimes. TTFN!

That's rather interesting, dealing with another culture and all the ins and outs of it. Something people don't see if they're tourists.

Very interesting! Since you are bigger they probably think you have more money for food. In the USA, it's pretty common to be oversized but it's must less common where you currently reside. Does it feel good to be seen as a celebrity type figure or does it feel like a burden?
