    There is a saying in Karnataka - If you not got tanned enough, you have not seen Hampi enough😂. That awkward moment where a man tried to pick your kid😂, it's very cultural thing. It's very common for people try to touch and pick cute looking babies. There is no bad intention at all. Personal space and boundaries are bit new concepts to Indians. Actually as Indians have become more westernised, this practice is slowing dying down.

      I know this man was well-intentioned and did not believe Hays to be in harm. But, we're teaching Hays that saying no to unwanted physical touch is perfectly acceptable (consent!), even if the intentions are good, and he asked him to stop, as did Pete (you can't see that in this clip) and the man did not listen, which is why I became frustrated.

    A very enjoyable video, as always! The place really radiates peace and calm. And I am just so impressed with Hays thinking on his feet - seeing the dogs and puppies and framing it as his gift for Mommy hehehe, so cute!
    Also, its unfortunate that many people in India don't understand the concept of boundaries and consider it normal to go pick up a random child and keep at it even if the child is protesting. I may have reacted a lot worse if I was in your position there. Its not a child's job to appease and humour random people's needs to have a picture with a kid! It doesn't need to be that it should a situation where a child is in some 'danger' of something more grave and then only it needs to be taken seriously. If a child is uncomfortable with being picked, that is ENOUGH of a reason for the parents to intervene and have it stopped. Proud of you. Your child knows that his parents are there for him and will put his needs above those of random others :) And thats beautiful, in my opinion.
    Hopefully those men would have learnt to respect boundaries better next time.

      Noor! Thank you for understanding my point of view. Gosh, I did't expect this to be such a thing (it really wasn't a huge deal, but I like to leave moments like this in to keep it authentic.)
      You totally get the point: a no is a no, even if the person had good intentions. Consent is really straightforward and not a tough concept! 🙃
      I 100% understand this person meant absolutely no harm (which is why I included the note, which I guess should have been clearer), so I hate that people may think I'm accusing him of something I definitely was not.
      It's just that like you say, we're teaching Hays that he can say no to physical touch *whenever* he feels like it. (And of course to oblige when others ask the same!) 👍

      @@StephandPete I have been feeling very bewildered by people's reactions to this and hence was sharing about it with my husband. He thinks that people who are criticising you are basically lying and being sanctimonious, and hence shouldn't be taken seriously. As in they themselves would definitely not be comfortable if random, unknown people were to pick up their kids like this. Here they are being like, 'oh Indians just love kids, let them', while most parents are very protective of kids, especially if it involves people completely unknown to them.
      Its just easy and gratifying to them in some way to get offended by a white woman and sprout nonsense at her. It would have been a different reaction if they had seen Pete getting frustrated in this situation. Then it would be case of, wow, great father protecting his child.
      Just felt like sharing this. Some of the comments have pissed me off so I can imagine that you and Pete would be feeling much worse!

    • @StephandPete
      @StephandPete  Рік тому +3

      Hehe, they rile me up for sure, but you have to take it all with a grain of salt. We signed up for this. :)
      But, I think you/your husband's take on it is very accurate, and also the internet loves to judge women (and more specifically, mothers) no matter which country you come from so it's not surprising. Like you/your husband, Pete's immediate reaction was "if I had said that, no one would have said anything."
      As for the comments about how Indians are friendly and affectionate, which is absolutely true (and one of the things we love about it), but in this case (which I admittedly did not convey thoroughly), Hays was a photo-prop. The dude had no interest in playing/talking to him.
      Gosh, I didn't mean for it to be such a huge deal because honestly, I forgot about it until editing and certainly don't want people to think I'm attacking that random, totally harmless man. Honestly, sometimes I leave this stuff in because I want the unique experience for my own memories, and as a discussion point with Hays when he rewatches these when he's older.
      Anyway, thanks again!

    Visited a few years ago and loved this vlog for not only refreshing memories of the place but also how I felt there. Most other destinations involve a visit to a monument and then you can shut the history/architecture/sightseeing mode of the brain off. In Hampi it's constantly on, and all in living condition. There's no other distraction either. Like your, I too at some point gave up needing to know the background behind everything and just appreciated it for what was in front of me. This, for me, is why Hampi is like no other place I've visited in India. (Well, actually Maheshwar is a bit like this too - for the river, ghat, and looms.) Wondering whether Rome and some parts of Greece feel like this too.
    Pete, excellent running and so creative! I've never seen such a thing before! Please don't ever buy a real drone. And Steph, it's only fun if you add your shots of Pete running in the edit.

    • @StephandPete
      @StephandPete  Рік тому

      Such a brilliant way to describe it. And I never thought about it, but Rome does feel like it in a way, but because it’s not rural I think it loses some of its magic? (Though Rome is one of our favorite places and just a few weeks ago we were on the trams not able to get over the amazing stuff you pass on a normal commute.) also, with Rome and Athens you sort of expect it, but unfortunately we don’t learn nearly as much about India, so to travel there and discover stuff like this is always a delightful (yet embarrassing) surprise.
      I’m glad you enjoyed Pete’s drone bit lol. It’s been his schtick for awhile now when he finds the right moment. There’s a shot in our visit to Katsuoji temple (I think the vid is “how we came to travel full time”) where he also fakes being a drone. 😂😂😂

      I appreciate you understanding our point of view! We certainly know how loving and tactile Indians are! And over the course of three months, encountered many lovely displays of affection or folks asking us for a photo. This man was not interested in playing with Hays, he wanted his buddies to take a photo that he did not ask permission for, so that, coupled with not putting Hays down when he began to cry and he and Pete both asked him to stop, is what made me angry. I didn't portray the whole scene (I didn't set out to film it), so I probably shouldn't have included this clip, but I made the decision to leave it in for my own memory, and to show Hays one of the challenges of traveling in India when he's a bit older (these videos are first and foremost for our family memories, but we do enjoy sharing them here!) and had no idea it would elicit such a strong response from others! But, it's been a good conversation piece and I'm happy to learn and engage here in the comments. Thanks for watching, Anand, and for your perspective! -S

    I think your decision to go to Hampi was an excellent one! but, the decision to not have a tour guide for a place like Hampi is crazy bad. Let me explain why -
    - There are a multitude of things that remain unseen to commoners like you and I.
    - The history and magnificence of the place can be truly captured and understood only if you know what was the intention behind building such a structure.
    - The carvings on the walls and on the entire structure symbolise a plethora of subjects. Mahabharata, Ramayana, the population of that time, the philosophy of life, war and devotion, the kind of travellers who used to travel from far lands, the intricacy and the skill of these artisans and so much more!
    We remain oblivious to most if not All of these otherwise. Also, it's hard to understand and digest a couple of things without a tour guide in such places, especially Hampi.
    Also, in places like India, people love kids and will pamper them even if they aren't their own child. But yes, we understand that it isn't usual for this to happen in other countries.

    Vijayanagara (Hampi) was the Imperial Capital of the Vijayanagara Empire from the 14th to 16th centuries. It was the largest and wealthiest city on Earth with a population of somewhere between 500,000 to 1 million depending on what you define the city limits to be. The Vijayanagara Metropolitan Area was 650km^2 with the city proper being of an area of 120km^2 (several times larger than cities like Rome, Baghdad, Beijing)

    Lifting a baby without patents permission is not acceptable at all.. Not only foreigners but for Indian parents getting angry is normal. Taking selfies unnecessarily and touching white skin people is the effect of the colonial era.. Cause for over 200 years when you forcedly became a slave and treated as dogs because of your skin colour, different religious faith and speaking in non English language, it's kind of a curiosity to basically backward or less educated poor people that white people are also walking side by side and riding in the same bus or train with them. So they still think of themselves as a lower category but not the same. Upper Class or middle class people and even educated lower class people don't do this kind of behavior. But it will change in the next 12-15 years when the 80-90% population of India will belong to the middle class and above.
