Today we visited Ghandi Smriti, the room where Gandhi lived the last 144 days of his life and the site where he died. The room has been preserved the way he left it. I was so moved by the extreme simplicity of his life and the power of his message. The spinning wheel in the room still has a bit of cotton roving attached to his hand spun yarn. Outside there are concrete steps that represent his last steps. Garrett and I followed the steps to a small memorial site at the place where Gandhi was killed. When I explained this to Garrett he said "That's sad." It was the same thing I was thinking. The other three sat in the shade while he and I paid our respects to this great man.
