Bhagwan Idnani's gift to me

He was my wife's uncle. I met him for the first time on the 9th of January, 2004 just after Minaal & me got married. Her family had many reservations about me but with Bhagwan Uncle, I could feel the love & affection instantly. He was in an advanced stage of Parkinsons and always said to me "Imraan, when I meet you, I feel strong, I can fight anything..."
On the 17th of July, 2007, Bhagwan Uncle left us to go to a better place. But in his passing away he ensured that my detractors & critics ate humble pie.
My involvement in the stressful circumstances around his death and last rites made Minaal's family see me for what I am - not what some of they may have believed about me.
Thank you Bhagwan Uncle ....
