Update: Photo gallery of Ashrita and Sanjaya's trip

I have a few heros I look up to. Ashrita Furman and Sanjaya Spettigue are two of them. Ashrita with his videographer companion are coming to Italy and Germany for a few days, to attempt to transcend three world records, two in Rome and one in Munich.

Thank-you to Subimal for recovering and sending over this photo, took when I was sooo slim...

In the photo, the now President of the Italian Republic, Mr. Napolitano, is receiving Subimal and myself as Italian representatives of the World Harmony Run.

We know the word God is spelled G-o-d. Just reverse these
letters and they become d-o-g. God and dog go together.
In this case, 'dog’ means faithfulness. A dog, in the spiritual
sense, represents infinite faithfulness; it is symbolic of
God as faith. This is very significant.

Bilbo is my parents' dog. They named him after the Tolkien character because, like the hobbit, he was smallish but very brave, in a very wise, cautious, farmer-like sort of way.

Bilbo was no knight, and yet he could have been one, and an exceptionally good one as well.

We recorded this story with Kanan for Conversation-Hearts. Alas, it was too short for that show, so I am able to publish it here:

A sweet remembrance of Sri Chinmoy's loving thoughtfulness offering a rose.

I have some kind of connection with pizza. Quoting from my failing memory, once Sri Chinmoy jokingly said: "If pizza is there, Priyadarshan should automatically be included."

Today I would like to retell my Pizza experience in Napoli.
