Good News India: Site diary. ...Nearby I came upon 3 young boys -- all under ten-- racing each other on bicycles. Obvious truants! When I passed them one of them decided to race my car!

Mahatma Guru-Sri Paramahansa Shivaji-Aleister Crowley : Eight Lectures On Yoga : ...If he decides to do, let us say, a quarter of an hour's Asana twice daily, rising to an hour four times daily, and Pranayama in proportion, he has got to stick to this-no cocktail parties, football matches, or funerals of near relations, must be allowed to interfere with the routine.
