Me: It’s all under control. It’s been a very busy day. I haven’t stopped to take a break all day.

GandhiMahatma Gandhi was a peculiar person. He walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He often went on hunger strikes, and even when he wasn’t on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. He also was a very spiritual person. Finally, because he didn’t eat much and when he did his diet was peculiar, he developed very bad breath.

He became known as a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
