I like this guy

Sid. Siddhartha is what he calls himself.

Siddhartha is Irish. Osteopath. Yoga teacher.

Was Yoga instructor for the Miss India Pageant.

Writes for an Irish “Health and spirituality Magazine”

Plays Sitar and Guitar.

 

Was swimming in Pondicherry Auroville beach when the Tsunami hit.

“One moment I was swimming, the next moment I was holding on to a coconut tree.”

Says,

“I know a lot of people lost their lives and it was so terrible.

And all those survivors, it will be so difficult for them to rebuild their lives.

But then sea water went into my bikes engine. THAT was bad.”

 

Met him in Thiruanamalai.

Went and found himself another place to stay so that we could stay in the house he was a guest.

Every time I said “Nice riding glasses”  “Nice gloves”. Kept saying “Take it”

Siddhartha rides a Royal Enfield Machismo.
