As some of my friends/family know, my dad goes off every now & then on these long walks aka padayatras (can you believe that I could not find one decent, un-tainted definition of padayatra online? Wikipedia needs a new article, I will get on it shortly. But in literal translation, it means journey by foot). Everyone questions him, or my mom, my sister, often times me, "why are you doing this?" or "why is he doing this?" And while I'm content with his decision to walk however long he chooses to walk, I read this article recently that addresses the breadth of this mystery. From the stories that my dad has told me, I know that he has experienced the same priceless moments from this padayatras.
When I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2008, I did not have a guest speaker who was so insightful, but I'm glad that with today's technology, I can partake in that experience all the same. So on that note, I thought that I would share this article with the few people that I know would like to read about it.
To my daddy dearest: Paths are made by walking.
