They talk about random things in our lives ( for example bee stings, wrinkled skin in the bath, Economics, etc) and Dr Karl breaks them down to the science behind them. They are very interesting and I would recommend them to anyone that is curious about the world or loves science.]]> 2021-10-19 04:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rkeenanmount/2n9u42yd7iw13zu0/wish/1826077255 https://padlet.com/rkeenanmount/2n9u42yd7iw13zu0/wish/1826085572 After backpacking her way around India, Sarah Macdonald decides she hates the country with a passion. So when a beggar at the airport reads her palm and claims she will one day return -and for love- she screams 'Never!' and gives the country, and him, the finger.
But eleven years later, the prophecy comes true. When the love of Sarah's life is posted in India, she quits her dream job as a national radio presenter to follow him to the most polluted city on earth - New Delhi. It seems like the ultimate sacrifice for love, and it almost kills her - literally.
Soon after arriving, she falls dangerously ill with double pneumonia, an experience that compels her to face some serious questions about her own fragile mortality and inner spiritual void.
And so begins Sarah's wild journey of discovery through India in search of the meaning of life and death, and a whole lot more along the way.

I really enjoyed this book because it was funny and captivating, and although I'm not religious, I learnt a lot about spirituality and faith, which I found pretty interesting. Some bits were a little slow, but it was still a good read! I would definitely recommend reading Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure if you're looking for an entertaining autobiography, or just if you want to learn a bit about India and the multitude of religions that can be found there.
