A devilish smile and impoliteness – but a nice surprise
Recently, on a Saturday afternoon, I was distributing books in a small town in Switzerland. A man in his mid-forties approached me and showed interest in Srila Prabhupada's books. As soon as I handed him two books, he just wanted to continue on his way. I stood before him and said, "Sorry sir, but these books aren't free.

Medicine in the Form of a Flyer
It was Halloween night and people excited to party were running here and there in ghastly costumes. The train tracks at a certain metro station in Edmonton, Canada were lonely and only a few people walked by periodically.
