Lectures and Conversions
Hi,
Thanks for your e-mail, which I saw late at night.
By next year you should be able to take down notes in shorthand when you attend such lecture series.
Conversions are pernicious because it is not just about accepting a new religion (no harm here) but is also about rejecting the old religion (this is disavowing the fact that all religions contain truth).
Yes, you can improve your language by letter-writing. It enables you to put your thoughts in words, particularly unique personal thoughts, which require us to be alert with the language.
Bye.

It, as told to me by a friend, was a common practice in those days in Kerala. However, once the education is completed, they would re-convert into Hinduism. Then, Convent authorities laid down a new rule that the whole family was to be converted into Christianity.>>I don't know how true this is; I just ment to tickle your thoughts, given your interest in the topic of CONVERSION.>>Ok, bye for now. I will try to keep in touch, it sounds strange, does it not, me keeping in touch with you vide e-mail; but I think it ought to workout right.>
