The subject at the time wasn't Girish per se, rather it was that
this guy was creepy or something, and I didn't see any creepiness
looking at his face, and thought it was the association with
Maharishi that was driving the perception of creepiness. I wasn't
interested in Girish then either, just the possibility of a
projected creepiness of him, due to his association with Maharishi.
