raybati, true public life comes with having to live like an insect under the microscope with peeping toms and like minded folks monitoring your every move. but in this case, you are missing the forest for the trees. i have never met pushkar shah, but from what i understand, he left his home and family to pursue his dream of biking around the world to disseminate the message of peace from nepal. i think that is a noble and daring venture requiring conviction and both mental and physical stamina. he is doing all of us and our country a great service... instead of realizing this, why do you instead choose to focus on petty details and make a big deal out of it? who cares if he biked 100K miles or 200K miles? to me, that is an inconsequential detail.
