Magendran, Wandering Yogis and Vegetarian Dinner

A Hindu Yogi
I missed the first dinner appointment with Magendran about two weeks back.

God, the giver of second chances, gave me just that.

So, when Bala emailed me about meeting up with Magendran and invited me and Chuan along , we happily agreed.

Yesterday, evening as the local prime news appeared on television, we were seated comfortably in a nook of a restaurant in Section 8 of PJ, having delightful vegetarian food- i.e. the Lily Pond Vegetarian Restaurant.

Magendran has to spend at least 6 months in Malaysia before he goes back to Melbourne for a year and he has to do this until PR conditions permits him to have a longer stay in Australia.

As usual, Magendran reads and is in all things spiritual from tales of wandering Indian yogis, how they found 'God' in themselves in verdant jungles and Himalayan mountains to resurrection and body snatching.

He told us he needs to read more about Christianity.

Food was alright especially the deep fried brinjals and the fake fried  'fish'.

Dinner was truly fast and I was home by 9 pm.

Should meet more often as age is coming fast.

What was interesting from yesterday dinner was Bala telling us that he has read about life after death and that was re-assuring.
