These days my work takes me to several unusual destinations. So when I got a chance to meet Acharya Balkrishna at Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar, I readily agreed to undertake the 200 km drive from Delhi. I slept most of the way before I reached the Patanjali campus and Balkrishna’s modest office and our conversation lasted merely 20 minutes. At first, I felt it was a waste of time commuting eight hours in all for a 20-minute interaction. But an hour that I spent at the campus post our meeting and after some introspection made me realise that the ROI (return on investment) from the trip was a lot more, which could only grow if I applied some of what I picked from the interaction.
