Values Versus Verses: Conversations With Nanabhai

By Shehzaad Shams

Born idiot. Then a hypocrite for a long time. Now slightly more enlightened with the wisdom to call a spade a spade and a stupid a stupid. This book is a snapshot of some interesting, sensitive and memorable conversations I have had with my grandfather between 1990 and 2001. The topics largely involve religious, cultural and familial subjects which helped shape my values as a human being.In this pursuit of distinguishing spades from stupids, no attempt was made to quote think-tanks or thought leaders - religious, political or social. No in-depth research was conducted on comparative religions, science and sociology. Only curiosity mixed with observation, exploration and experience of growing up in a bitter-sweet environment in Bangladesh played the key role in the buildup of this book.No animals were harmed during the writing of this script, no scripts or scriptures - religious or movies - were followed while writing this semi-auto biography. Any resemblance to any living beings or super natural power except those illustrated with specific names and pictures will be purely coincidental and possibly an act of God.
