It is not for money nor for any favor. People who are noway connected to tourism also treat you the same and the masses are even more affectionate.

Answer 8

Its in our blood.  We are one of the world's most loving and sacrificing kind. You too seem to be of loving nature. ' What you give is what you get'.  Welcome to India! Enjoy!

Answer 9

I like the culture.  Most of the Indians I've met are very kind and mannerly.  But, I've generally only met those whose families have enough money to send them to college in the US or Canada.  I've never been to India and mingled with the masses.

As someone else mentioned, if you are a tourist you are being treated with kid cloves by the service industry.  Tourism dollars are valuable and they want you back.

You say you feel "alive".  Are you a single male?  Perhaps, money and potential visa are sought through marriage.
