This book is the story of a Catholic priest living as a member of Hindu families in heartfelt harmony on both sides. That way of life was undertaken with a view to achieve closeness, intimacy, and mutual understanding with people of a quite different language, culture and religion, and it did much good to all those who too, part in that happy adventure. Housewives, children, religious feasts, weddings, strikes, police curfew, births and deaths are chronicled with the closeness of the eye-witness and the open heart of a member of the family. In our days of inter-cultural strain, this book can be a witness of hope and a guide of understanding for a new humankind.
