Khaabar Baari - May 30, 2011

“When I look at water, the thing that comes to mind must be the same for you and for me, and so it must be for a bird, a tiger or a fish,” mused Shree Vinayak Kaurwar, a yogi who had gone to stay in the jungle to conquer his fears, and is returning to the same jungle to conquer his remaining fear - the centipede phobia.
