And I have tagged it also under "Normal" with its Estonian connotations!

I finally found an article written by Serena on her visit to LA this month to cover the release of "The Avengers".

‘I’m just an Eastern philosophy kind of guy’ 1

Captain America Chris Evans spent three weeks in Rishikesh in 2005-06, but is working so hard that he can’t return

The brain is a noisy place and all this is just to quiet it down. It’s certainly helpful
to me while I’m on sets
—Actor Chris Evans

Actor Chris Evans currently sports short dark hair, a promising beard and a Zen-like state of mind. Nothing like the buffed-up look he fashioned onscreen at the premiere of his upcoming biggie, The Avengers, which took place at the El Capitan theatre in LA on Wednesday. “I am a hat, beard, sunglasses kind of guy, but little kids are so good. They’ll just spot you in a crowd… that’s Captain America!” jokes Evans, who reprises his part as the superhero in Joss Whedon’s multi-cast film this April 27.

A still from The Avengers

Most Hollywood actors have little to say when asked about India. In Evans’s case, there was no ‘I like Bollywood for its song and dance’ or ‘I’m coming to the country to see the Taj Mahal soon’ kind of answer. He knows absolutely nothing about the Hindi film industry. But during the course of the conversation, it became evident that he seemed to have a more spiritual connection in place. “I spent three weeks in Rishikesh in 2005 or 2006 at a Buddhist retreat. I attend a Buddhism class here in LA and the woman who teaches had trained there. So we all went and stayed in this little village for about three weeks, hiked the Himalayas, camped on the banks of the Ganga… it was great,” says Evans, who has been missing this annual trip with his group due to his film commitments. “And that really sucks!” he says.

At the age of 16 or 17, Evans began reading up and speaking to people about the philosophy, only to realise his calling. “There was a whole religion that felt the way I was feeling. That’s when I thought, ‘Wow, I think I’m a Buddhist’. But even in India you realise that Buddhism, Daoism and Hinduism are very similar. It’s just the dogma that separates these religions. And I’m not going to get caught up in that. I’m just more of an Eastern philosophy kind of guy,” says the actor, adding that, “The brain is a noisy place and all this is just to quiet it down. It’s certainly helpful to me while I’m on the sets.” >> ‘I almost didn't do Captain America’ P 8

The world is becoming a smaller place and now that the HT has started actually going to the site of action, it is able to go beyond a description of the glitter or events like the release of the "Avengers" and is able to actually peer into the psyche of the actors in such great blockbusters and be able to show that India is no longer thought of as a land of the naked fakirs, but instead is more a place where its multicultural heritage touches the hearts and "makes a difference" to the lives of people all over the world.

Am looking forward to seeing the movie as soon as it releases and will enjoy reading the coverage or its first show in India.

Thanks for a good article

I would be wonderful to see the comments of my friends on this video - it impressed me no end and it is about the unfolding petals of the flower of friendship

LOOK AT YOURSELF AFTER WATCHING THIS.mp4

And I posted this comment on Youtube :-

He has been given an indomitable will and a shining soul which shines like an aura, lighting up the lives of every single person who he has contact with - and he is one with nature and God for ever and ever.
I'll find out where he is and meet him to learn something from him - he has already made an indelible impression on my mind and heart and I pray that I shall be able to even be a miniscule amount of what this great personality is!
Thank you for posting this incredible film!

RAMAN AND PARUL - ROKNA CEREMONY FARIDABAD

Abha's younger sister Shobha and her great Physician Doctor Husband, Surender were the happiest people in the world as their son, our nephew, Raman was booked at a Rokna ceremony for a marriage to Parul from Faridabad. All details will be added by and by - but here are the first Photos of the ceremonies I am uploading for every one to see. I, Abha, Shobha, Surender and Raman and Parul will be recognised easily - shall try to name everyone by and by with help from Raman. Have a great tour of Indian culture.
