The Absolutely Fabulous Insanity of a Hindu Wedding Parts 1 & 2
from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella
What a find this was! I had no memory that we ever even did these shows. But so glad I found this tape. We recorded these episodes sometime in 2001. They feature conversations that I had with my dear, dear friend Madhuri Acharya. You will hear me mention that she had the herculean task of pulling off 2 weddings within a year's time. It would be daunting enough if these were Presbyterian or Baptist weddings. But, boys & girls, these were HINDU weddings. This is a different universe entirely. And she accomplished these while undergoing treatment for cancer. Sadly, we lost our wonderful friend to that cancer in 2003. It makes finding these shows even more precious. So buckle up & let's take a ride to Mumbai. Theme music "Nigal."
