If it wasn't for dogs, some people would never go for a walk.
--anonymous Gotham Chopra considers himself a pretty average guy.
He devours pizza, lives and dies by his hometown teams, and watches
"Kung Fu Panda" with his son--daily. But his childhood wasn't quite
so average. Growing up, Gotham was exposed to the deepest
reservoirs of knowledge that his famous father, Deepak, could find;
his childhood was part spiritual, part scientific, and totally
unique. Now a newly minted father himself, he's contemplating the
influences he wants to draw on for his own son. The first was no
surprise: his father. The second was unexpected: his dogs. From
Nicholas, the blaze of energy and anarchy who turned the family
upside down, to Cleo, a rescue mutt with food issues, the Chopra
dogs taught the family about curiosity and wisdom, open-mindedness
and passion, not to mention loyalty and pig's ears. But what else,
Gotham wondered? And how did these lessons compare to the ones that
Deepak himself imparted? Gotham would soon find out. When his
mother took an unexpected trip to India and leaves instructions to
"look after Papa," father and son have an opportunity for male
bonding on a big scale. That this bonding takes place on their
daily walks seems almost natural. After all, Gotham also had in his
care a nervous dog and an exuberant toddler, both with an
insatiable need for exercise and exploration. So Gotham and Deepak
walk and talk, discussing the laughs and licks that come with
having a dog, along with the contradictions, complexities, and
consequences of having children. They soon realize the qualities
they observe and admire most in their pets are values we humans
would do well to nurture within ourselves. They discover that our
best friends have a lot to teach us. Gotham and Deepak's message
may seem simple, but therein lies its brilliance. Heartfelt,
endearing, and above all down to earth, "Walking Wisdom" offers
readers both enlightenment and comfort, with a little bit of mayhem
thrown in for good measure.
