I remember a conversation with Uncle and auntie where they were sharing their wonderings about reading the stars. At the time, my science and religious background rejected their arguments. But Uncle said that I should keep an open mind to other faiths. I remembered that challenge years later as an interfaith chaplain. That openness to new ideas and customs was a gift and a teaching that took years to blossom. Having respect and open mindedness is key he taught.I thank Lalit Uncle for challenging me in such a patient and loving way.
