Gandhi, Go-Karting and Camels
Gandhi makes an interesting subject for cartoons! There's a hundred and seventeen of them at this site! Its been a while since I've read his Experiments with Truth, but it was amazing how more than the events, and the actions, it was his moral courage and the strength of his beliefs that came through.
We'd gone go-karting at Runway 9 today. Since most of the group were still "developing" a passion for it, we quit after ~30 laps. I think the most I've every done on a good day is about 80 to 100 laps! Given the track length of 711 meters, that's about 71km of driving, 3 inches off the ground!
I'm looking forward to visiting again during the JK races later this month. Karting is more about the lines you take on the track, than it is about acceleration. Races are won and lost on the curves - and it'll be fun to see how the really good drivers control the track!
We ended up at Dhola-ri-Dhani - an "ethnic Rajasthani resort" for dinner. The veg fare is sumptuous and they're very liberal with the amount of ghee they use! We swiftly discovered why they had the charpoys sprinkled around the gardens, as we settled into them to lounge, watch the moon and digest the food before we were off on our way back to the city!
