It is 26th March 2006 around 8.30pm. Close to 10 devotees are having dinner in Devipuram canteen. Guruji is also sitting and enjoying fresh vegetables with slightly roasted brown bread and other low calory dishes. Everyone is enjoying that day's surprise delicacy - the sour cut-cucumber pickle with rice, made by the volunteers in canteen. Suddenly there comes a question from Guruji and everyone starts paying attention to Him. The question is difficult to answer, as it is slightly scientific. "How do you fry something without oil?". Guruji continues,"If a person wants to eat some fried pakodi and he should not eat fried stuff, what does he do?". The question makes everyone start thinking. There is silence for two minutes. No answers yet.
After sometime, Guruji Himself breaks the silence. "If this person eats away some fried Pakodis and goes back in time to the state, in which he was there before eating pakodis and erases his pakodi eating experience and comes back to present, would it help him ? By this, he eats pakodis and still be able to be in the state of no-pakodis-eating-whatsoever.Slight time management does the trick."
Guruji continues, "If one is so fond of eating pakodis and still likes to remain unaffected, he can experience the above two states continuously by being in a loop, the Pakodi Loop". Everyone bursts into laughter. Guruji is known for his subtle sense of humour and this "pakodi loop" words came during what seemed to be a highly scientific conversation. One of Guruji's disciples in the dining hall tells, "Guruji, bless us all with this siddhi. It'd be so nice". Guruji says "It is Kali, who can bless everyone with this siddhi to manage one's time".
This short informative and humorous explanation by Guruji put everyone in "let me think more deeply" mode. Still lot of people were laughing out at this funny and techie-buzzword "Pakodi Loop" used by Guruji. It was a memorable dinner for everyone to hear this short discourse of Guruji explaining "time management".
