Sometimes I get mails like this. I do not know what to do with it. Because, in my brain, it has no connection to what I am doing. I guess other also gets similair. What do you do? What is this about?

Hi Anders,
I think the only thing you can do is to give an honest response and tell him that you feel uncomfortable hosting him and that you think his interests doesn't match with yours.

Contact me if there are any new projects/events or festivals coming up, I love new challenges and meeting new people!

I have had only one experience of a letter like this from a university student who wanted to study for one term at the department where I was working. He was highly qualified on paper BUT when he arrived he turned out to be utterly incapable of working independently, taking responsibility, making decisions, disagreeing, initiating, thinking critically. He was good at rote learning, guessing the "right" answer, pretending to understand, copying other peoples responses, using jargon appropriate to the subject in long meaningless sentences, ...
You get the picture. I was quite fascinated by him. What do they do to students in India!?!?!? He completely failed to adapt to Western style education, poor chap.
I would thank him politely for his interest and say that you have no vacancy for him this year - unless you want a mind-bending challenge.

Hi Josef,
I would say that there are different Universities and different people around and it is difficult to generalize 
By the way ... nice profile!
