Philipino

Meeting a Philipino who married to an Indian is a rare thing in Delhi. At 8:30 this morning, a friend called up and asked if I was free today, she wanted me to meet her in law who is Philipino. We met and talked, it was very interesting to hear her experience as an in law to Indians. She shared that there is a month where women in India fast for the good welfare of their husbands. Her reply was that wives should always pray and wish their husbands good will daily not just for nine days in the particular month in a year. It is a beautiful thing that she shared with me, living with in laws who are completely different in cultures and beliefs, that she is able to mingle with them. She being a Christian and her in laws are Hindu. It reminds me of someone said that religions divide, but love unites. That what Jesus taught us, to love God and to love your fellow man as yourself. We all need love, to love and be loved. It's a special thing to love and be loved. Let us learn how to love God, to love one another, as Love sees beauty in others.
