Any advice from your friend on how to interact well with people that you are photographing? I can see the logic that being up close allows you to capture an intimacy that is otherwise hard to get, but a fair amount of luck and patience must be involved.  

I suppose if you have the time to spend waiting for a good opportunity or to take hundreds of photos to get one publishable shot then that is less of an issue. I often find I don't have the time to hang about as much as I would like.

The time is also important, you're right.
Today in Old Manali I was passing an old man in traditional wear with Kullu cap and his beleaguered wife. The man was sitting just behind the road in strategical place where he could see any people coming from new town. Closing I noticed he was taking opium from brass lamp of Alauddin through hookah (long pipe). First time I went further to see quite modern Manu temple. On the way back I wanted to make his photo but he shook his head with disapproval. I smiled and went further - he probably does not want possible problems if his photo appear somewhere.
