You are too bold

What I love about travelling is that the people that you meet take on equal significance to the things that you see.  Heading to the train station after 10pm was an experience, with so many trains delayed the platforms were jam packed, but I quickly found some fellow passengers to while away the time with. An older gentleman was quizzing me on my trip and after hearing my plans he turned to me and said that I was too bold!!!! Given that our lives as western women are so different, full of choice, opportunity and freedom, in his view I am too bold and given that on all of the hundreds of people at New Delhi Railway station I was the only westerner perhaps at that point he was right.
