I had this strange meeting with this new acquaintance on the MTA who lived near my doctor, dentist and hospital. Again, I will not likely cross the colour line at my age. I admit that a man that cooks like Martin Yan attracts me, in addition to his other attributes. Anyway, Mr. L is a dashing Anglo-Black-Indian (both Amerinidan and East Indian). His late father was the multiracial Guyanese parent. His late mother was Hindu from Uttar Pradesh, India. Peace Be Upon Them! He came over to introduce himself as we got off at the same stop for my appointment. I was flabbergasted that he was in his 60's, despite his solid white hair. He looks 40-ish like me! Although he has vivid memories of his late maternal grandfather (PBUH) practising Sanatana Dharma (proper term for Hinduism), somehow he not only was raised Christian and Catholic like his father, but now he has converted to a Jehovah's Witness with no connection to his Eastern religious heritage. I am more connected to it than him, in the sense that although I am Catholic by identity and heritage, I also chant the Hindu/Buddhist "Om Mani Padme Hum" (world peace) and "Om Shanti" (general and personal peace) for the good energy emanting from them. I admire his religious zeal that is not so fervent that he disregards others, but I have a problem with his disregard for that 50% of his parental ancestry that is absolutely Hindu. There won't be a love connection here for many reasons, including that he has two 40-something children like me, so what the end with Mrs. L was has me curious, but not needing to know since I am not a contender. I learned the hard way with AJA that a couple with too diverse spiritual views do not make a good match.
