Spiritual Dilemma

Why should a Kannadiga gift his MalayaLi friend a Bhagavadgeeta in Kannada? I think a guide on how to learn Kannada would've been better. Now the recipient, who lives on my floor, has passed it on to me and just like him, I couldn't refuse it. I don't know what to do with it, though. I should see if my library will take it.

No, I'm not interested in reading it. For more than a decade now, my mother reads it daily and recently she's even conned my father to join the club. But I don't think there is anything out there which my parents haven't taught me in my childhood. And I'm quite adamant that I don't want to know anything higher order than that.

I was somehow a little disappointed when my mother announced that my father had started reading the Geeta. May be he's just trying to please my mother. And she did sound pleased.
