bhagavad-gita as it is

today i was walking home from sauchiehall street when this guy approached me saying ni hao so i smiled and kept walking. but he followed and asked if i'm from china and i said no. then he asked where i'm from and i said malaysia then he said apa khabar. i was still walking and he was still following and dunno why i stopped lah. then he showed me his clipboard and said they're helping to educate poor people or something, i forget. i was thinking crap why did i stop? so i thought maybe i'd give him 1 pound. but then he said *some made up sounding names* donated 5 pounds today. so i gave him 3 pounds. then he asked for one more, so i gave him one more pound. i was wondering am i getting conned? then he took this book out of his bag and gave it to me. haha. some book by the founder of a society for krishna consciousness. then he showed me a word on his clipboard which was supposed to mean 'be happy' and he made me say it before he let me leave. hahaha.

i'm always uncertain about donating money coz i'm afraid of getting conned. i'm still wondering if i was. but i got a book for 4 pounds. haha. so now i have this book about a text from the mahabharata epic we learnt about in sejarah. anyone want to read it?
