A Conversation With God
It is redundant to mention WTFness when one speaks of Bejan Daruwalla. Here’s a gem:
One night during my moment of revelations with God, I learnt that ‘devi maa’ will conquer the world through her splendid glory. As I was writing my conversation with God and I wrote Ganeshji will support this year through its turbulent times. Next morning to my surprise the letters changed and it was the Goddess in its place.
If you said something like this in any context besides religion, your loved ones would be calling a psychiatrist. But somehow religion makes it all okay.
And hey, remember Pratibha Patil?
