IN JANUARY OF 2005 UG RETURNED TO EUROPE AFTER TWO AND A HALF MONTHS OF INTENSE TALKING IN THE LIVING ROOM OF SUGUNA AND CHANDRASEKHAR IN BANGALORE, INDIA. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FLY BACK WITH HIM AND CONTINUE ON TO BAVENO, ITALY WHERE HE STAYS ALONG THE LARGO MAJORE AT THE RESIDENCE DEI PIORI IN THE AZELIA SUITE. I WOULD SIT NEXT TO HIM ON THE COUCH AND TRY TO WRITE OR SKETCH IN A NOTEBOOK WHEN HE WASN'T HITTING, KICKING OR SPLASHING ME WITH HOT WATER. ONE DAY I ASKED HIM TO MAKE A DRAWING AND TO MY SURPRISE HE ASKED FOR A PIECE OF PAPER AND STARTED TO DRAW. HE SAID THAT WHEN HE WAS STUDYING BOTANY HE USED TO DRAW PLANTS. HE WONDERED OUT LOUD IF HE COULD STILL DRAW. HE HANDLES A PEN WITH STYLE AND THE LOOSE QUALITY OF HIS LINES IS REALLY NICE.
