We just came back from dinner.
Ann, a friend from Ireland is also here for a few
days. We went to a nice little restaurant in
Wiesbaden. It is a pure vegetarian restaurant and
the owner is Indian. The food was very good and I am
especially happy about the fact that it is
vegetarian. The energy is so clean there. Vegetarian
restaurants are rare here in Europe. The owner is a
nice man and I encouraged him and said him that he
and his business will grow and develop.
While I
was eating somebody asked me a question. I did not
reply because I did not realize that the question
was directed at me. Actually I did not even hear the
question. When I am eating I am concentrating on it.
There is nothing else. I would not even put on
music; I would not listen to it and it would only
disturb me. In India the culture is a little bit
different. When somebody is eating and you are
coming to his home you sit down and wait for him to
finish. He will not stop eating to greet you and you
will not start talking to him. Paying full attention
to your food shows the respect that you have for it.
So if you address me while I am eating it can easily
happen that I do not answer. Please do not mind it;
I am just concentrating on my food.
