Avrebbe potuto semplicemente riderci su, metterle da parte, arrabbiarsi e invece ha risposto a ciascuna di loro. Perché a lei le domande piacciono. Se chiedi infatti, è perché vuoi sapere, e non c'è niente di male nel voler sapere, anzi! Basta che tu lo faccia con educazione. Anche se la domanda può suonare ridicola.

È la donna più internazionale d’Italia: cresciuta da mamme globetrotter, balie neozelandesi e specialmente dal «tato dell’Essex», la milanese va a New York con l’obiettivo di sentirsi un po’ come a Milano ma poi arreda casa propria come a Tokyo per non apparire provinciale. La mattina si sveglia e sa che deve cominciare a correre e, probabilmente, prendere un aereo.

The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....
