Oh yeah, I just remembered the best part of the Kumbh Mela. We got sucked into listening to some guy in a pink turtleneck who was literally foaming at the mouth and ranting about the ancient epics and yadda yadda. Some other guy came up and started listening, and for no reason at all, the foamer turned on him and yelled, "Quit laughing! This is serious! You only think it's funny because you're an illiterate idiot!" The guy wasn't actually laughing at all, but instead standing there respectfully, listening to what the guy had to say. This in itself was a major commitment, because on his head he was wearing... his drying-out underwear.
