I had downloaded Siddhartha in the audio form a year back. Never got around listening to it. These days I am commuting between San Jose and San Francisco via 280. Utilizing the time to listen to it. Thanks for mentioning - I can think, I can fast and I can wait - which got me interested in listening to it. Atanu
