Ravi, I want to get serious here. An important tenant of the TM Program, is to not strain during meditation. And an advanced tenant of the program is to not strain in activity either. So, when I hear you talk about being silent for a whole week, I feel I must intervene. This would not be a good idea for you. But, if you decide to take such an action, let's note these exceptions. Singing Bhajans, or recent Bollywood Soundtracks in the car: Allowed Talking to fellow employees or programmers during smoke break: Allowed Talking on the phone for purposes of setting up a date: Allowed Any conversation with Devi, either in your head, or out loud: Allowed Talking to your Granny, or any other family member in India: Allowed So, within these guidelines, I feel I can support your proposal to remain silent for a week. Let me know if I can offer any additional advice in this regard. Your friend always, Steve
