The (not) so secret life of Gandhi

10:06 mareku 0 Comments

Gandhi is to the left and Kallenbach to the right. Gandhi's secrerary, Sonia Schlesin, is in the center.
In his new biography Joseph Lelyveld revealed some "new" truths about Gandhi that shines a whole new light on his carefull constructed mythical figure...

Gandhi's  love of his life was a German-Jewish architect and bodybuilder, Hermann Kallenbach, for whom Gandhi left his wife in 1908. "Your portrait (the only one) stands on my mantelpiece in my bedroom," he wrote to Kallenbach. "The mantelpiece is opposite to the bed." For some ­reason, cotton wool and Vaseline were "a constant reminder" of Kallenbach, which  might ­relate to the enemas Gandhi gave ­himself, although there could be other, less generous, explanations.
Gandhi wrote to Kallenbach about "how completely you have taken ­possession of my body. This is slavery with a vengeance." Gandhi nicknamed himself "Upper House" and Kallenbach "Lower House," and he made Lower House promise not to "look lustfully upon any woman." The two then pledged "more love, and yet more love . . . such love as they hope the world has not yet seen."
They were parted when Gandhi ­returned to India in 1914, since the German national could not get permission to travel to India during ­wartime—though Gandhi never gave up the dream of having him back, writing him in 1933 that "you are always ­before my mind's eye." Later, on his ashram, where even married "inmates" had to swear celibacy, Gandhi said: "I cannot imagine a thing as ugly as the intercourse of men and women."

Our last lunch in Frisco we spend in Lafayette with Karen & Tom. The weather was picture perfect and it was a very nice and happy last couple of hours of our quick visit to the states. We took the BART back to SFO and had a very smooth and swift flight back home.

Bicycles in San Francisco

00:58 mareku 0 Comments







I never saw so many bicycles in San Francisco as now. They are not on the streets though... no they are at the window of almost every fashion label. What's going on? Is a bicycle suddenly a fashion statement?
