On moving into Srisailam I did have a little trouble finding a room. The first lodge (for pilgrims) said "No single persons", as did the second. The third eventually relented, following the negotiation from my bus friend that I was both a student needing cheap accommodation and AP (Andhra Pradesh) Tourism would not be very happy if I was refused a room. I didn't think much of it, assuming that this was one of the practicalities in a town which hosted millions of pilgrims each year.
A Nepali guy later explained - "Suicide". Followed by gestures of the various familiar methods. It turns out this is a town where Hindus are known to make a one way trip... In my mind I'm protesting my will to live in an imaginary conversation with Hotel staff!
