Rollerblading Sells Books
by Ananta Nitai Das (Ireland)
A funny incident happened on Grafton Street in Dublin. Two girls were rollerblading near the local park. I rode up near them on my bike and started talking to them. They stopped. Eva was very favorable and took two books for herself and her friend Sinead "The Higher Taste" and "The Science of Self-realization." I found it easy to get Eva to chant, and soon she and I started chanting Hare Krsna together, as Sinead looked on glumly.
I said to Sinead, "Look! Eva is chanting. She's very intelligent."
Sinead retorted, "I know what you're trying to do. I'm not going to chant or buy a book or get involved in your brainwashing cult. I have a degree in psychology."
"Ok, Sinead," I said, "you win." And she carried on rollerblading expertly, I might add while Eva and I carried on chanting.
