Dhanashri, I hope you enjoy the book. I would be thrilled if you wrote a review on Amazon after you do – and the more honest, the better – meaning, if you hate it, please say so! I am also very interested to hear from someone who has read my Aai’s books – so far no one has compared us as writers. I do know that she was very different from me, as a person, and also as a writer – but still, I’d be curious to know. And also, thanks for this link, I will read this review as soon as I am done with my day’s work… I hope I can get some air from my mother’s pankhi!

Just found out about this blog from Amazon while I was looking for POL(after reading a big long review and the discussions about it on http://maayboli.com/node/15805). Can’t wait to get my hands on the book. I have read and loved the books your Aai wrote. I wont say I am a propeller but a pankhi most definitely

About the walk healing people, I guess it’s the thought and the intention that counts.

An interesting and strange thought. I wish the ills of people could be really healed by all of us walking, very unusual but that is how imaginative poets and writers are.That includes you,my dear.

I would give almost anything to “remember” these things about Aai. Especially today. If it weren’t for my babies needing me here, I would have walked with you to be by her side…

If he were still alive, Anthony de Mello would ask, “What is more practical and no-nonsense than spirituality?”

I remember that story. and I remember Aai wanting to walk. and I remember thinking it was a really cool thing. and I remember wishing that that was all it would take to heal someone, to help someone.

I think it does heal and help – taking a walk always clears my head and sometimes puts things in perspective, and, now that I don’t smoke, it is definitely way healthier =) and walking around with people instead of traveling in our tin cans is good for the soul – reminds us of the people in the world, keeps us connected.

as Johnny Walker (or at least the ad) says, Keep Walking.
