http://www.hindustantimes.com/chunk-ht-ui-brunch-columns/the-diary-of-bhaskar-sharma-yoga-to-be-kidding-me/article1-1389760.aspx
"I think yoga is great for Indian people. All the hours we spend stuck
in traffic can be put to good use doing meditation and breathing
exercises. This will also help us keep our cool when a stupid biker
with a phone to his ear and helmet hanging from the elbow decides to
suddenly overtake from the left while blowing a horn that sounds like
an A380 taking off. Imagine a day when Delhiites laugh it off when
someone rams into their Maruti Swift, instead of shooting them dead."

"Yoga is touted as being for everyone, but in my humble opinion as a
teacher, we still have some major work to do on our image. Funny
enough, the active yoga that we know today was originally created for
young Indian men (no women allowed) as a form of calisthenics and way

slim and shiny-haired—and the epitome of perfect health."
