Spent three days in Hampi a few days back. Saw these Magic babas roaming around, was curious, I thought these might be real black magic folks so was wondering whether to try and get some dope (not literal, pls I am not hashish mata!) get some dope on black magic rituals maybe even be able to attend some ceremony of theirs. But I also had in back of my mind possibility that these guys maybe frauds or worse.

Anyway just when I was leaving the orange clad fellow goes like

“Hello”

Me: Hi

Orange: You from?

Me: Mumbai *amused*

Orange: We are the magic babas

Me: Aaah *not laughing* I see

Orange: Nice to meet you *shake hands* (this is some Hampi norm, will write more on this later)

Blue: Nice to meet you *shake hands*

Orange: You take a photo of us

Me: Aah ok! (I anyway wanted to) *thinking of ways to ask them abt secret rituals n stuff*

Me: So which path monks are you?

Orange: Shiva

Me: Aah Shiva *how fake!!*

Orange: This photo is a gift *removes a book n pen*

book has a list of names with high donations made

Me: *so bugged and yet these two are so hilarious!!*

Me: *gives 10 bucks*

Orange: *makes a not happy face*

Me: Okay bye! *tries really hard not to Roll on the Floor and Laugh!*

Quite an entertaining CON I must say! 😉
