I think Deepockets Chopra is a brilliant man.
His books are so insightful for a Hindu with black horned-rim glasses
and a cleft in his chin. He looks like an intellectual but just comes
across as a nice, smiling, all-talk-no-action guy.
I admire a guy like him for not being bashful about being
enterprising, so when he came to Vancouver, I went to see him with
that other author from Dhammasala in northern India. Oh what's his
name... the little guy that fund-raises around the world ...you know,
the guy who fled his own people when the Reds went in there and
enlightened them with electricity and running water while this guy
went a running over the Himalayas in a DC3 in '51. I forget his name,
anyhow I was there and Deepockets wasn't saying much because this
little guy was hogging all the attention. But I went to get his
autograph after the little guy's sales pitch and actually shook his
greasy, firm hand. I asked him for his autograph and he whipped out
one of those portable debit card machines like the pizza delivery guy
has. He kinda belched and I thought I smelled Molson on his breath and
he said, "$45 Canadian". I told him I only have VISA and he said he
doesn't take credit cards anymore because of, I dunno, taxes or
something. But anyhow, I just joked and said, "That's okay, you
probably can't write anyways" and just laughed but he didn't. Then
security came when he whistled and that was it...I was outside in a
New York minute.
But at least I got to touch him because he touched me with the two
truckloads of books I bought since I lost my legs...never did get my
chair back though. But what a wonderful human being that man is.
I saw his buddy there going into the White House maybe a year later
but I don't think Obama wanted Deepockets there because I think they
maybe took his VISA away...ain't that weird? He wouldn't take mine but
they took his.
I think that's philosophical.
