Quote Jyotirmaya says that his happiness quotient directly reflects his proximity to good Indian food. ...I stood yesterday in the swirling road at Malakpet, not needing to be elsewhere, and the rickshaws and the bullock carts spun dizzily all around me, and a cocphony of Telugu and Hyderabadi Hindi flowed through my mind - but then the "self" is only another (irrelevant) theory. ...if you have to believe, you don't think it's true. India is good therapy for the Western faithful. Sometimes I think the whole problem in the Mediterranean religions comes from insisting on using the capital letter.
