and so it was....a kinda good lunch-that bugger in the indian restaurant doesn't have the attitude for hospitality business.....behanchod!! anyway, getting back to the lunch these indian restaurants perhaps keep freezing and heating the same things over and over again till they start tasting good. well, the meats are supposed to taste better with all those long weeks of marination.

nothing profound today, at least not till now. driving in usa and esp. in a city makes me sooooo dull. i got close....but i guess the lil orange ganeshji saved us. the grateful thoughts have been sent on their way. and i can row for sure....whatever sarah might say. no, its not my family profession but what the heck, its pushing water as it pushes you back. every action has an equal and opposite reaction....the water demonstrates the karma theory amply well. yes we did talk about it. someone asks me whether i believe it or not.....i guess one must have the right karmas to have that belief too. but i am not going further on the karma thing here-all that you need to know is that everything happens for good... period. the akbar and birbal story by guru vimlananda is what i remember and will remember till the time i get a good one from my own life(i don't like losing fingers though).

talking of stories i like the zen stories which are simple and to the point....yea! zen doesnt want people to use too much mind....as opposed to indian stories which make you use so much mind that you finally stop using it(try the book "Climbing Chamundi Hill"). india has always been the land of abundance in everything. the positive approach to living and reaching as opposed to denial or suppression or the negative. because one must remember that before renouncing the world buddha had a hell of an amazing time!! so have fun i guess till the time comes.....HOT.
