No tension, no mention

On a sunset walk around the lake (where Gandhi's ashes were sprinkled) in the Hindu pilgrimage town of Pushkar, we met a Hindu holy man who was preparing himself for some kind of performance or something.

He stopped us and we got the usual questions (what is your name / country / marital status?) before this guy told us that he had, "No wife, no children, no money, no job - no tension, no mention!"

And thus "no tension, no mention" became something of a motto for the three of us, especially as we could relate to the bits about no wife/husband, no children, no money and no job!

No tension, no mention.  It even rhymes.  I love it.
