Shantaram, India

Well, I am reading this book 'Shantaram' and their, I read about standing babas, I found it facinating and I cannot get it out of my head, that is why, I decided to write it here :)
It is not very glamorous, but it is very real.
The standing babas, are men, who were thiefs and criminals in past, and once, they vowed that they will never sit or lay down, so they will ALWAYS stand.

Look at the feet of this man in the picture, his veins are all outside and the legs are blue.
Of course, they considered as holy people in India. There bodies are full of pain, every minute, every second, but they suppose to smile, SO, they smoke the best weed from Himalayas, which they are smoking all the time. I think it is very wired, but probably they think I am wired to think about them like that.
