On the road to inner peace

Master Shifu! Forget Po, you should go to Bandra West if you want to see the perfect example of Inner Peace being practised. Once you reach near Kensilworth Arcade which is opposite McDonalds and houses KFC on the ground floor, just stop at the bend outside KFC. People who know this area well will tell you that Chaos is its middle name. Noise, Traffic and Confusion have been residing there since years. There at the same KFC corner, a few feet apart from each other, you will see two souls all curled up with their eyes closed, immersed in a world of their own. People would be hurrying past them; vendors would be shouting at the top of their voices and also in their ears; cabs and rickshaws would not be making things any easier. But they won’t budge, not even an inch. Their eyes will remain closed; their bodies will still be curled up; and you would be rubbing your eyes and pinching yourself to check if all of this is real. And no, they are not dead. You would know when you watch the easy, controlled breathing through the ups and downs of their stomachs. Life’s a bitch, they say but these two dogs (huge ones at that) sure know how to take it in their stride. Po could learn something from them. I know I did. Thank you, Dogs. Woof!
