How I Converted To Hindu Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

I was an atheist
quite a strong one
I disliked the idea of god
found it ridiculous
even angered when people believed it
suddenly a boy came in my life
born Hindu
with deep knowledge in religions
specially in his own
I started asking questions
on sanatan sanskriti
and Indian philosophy
he answered each of my questions
in detail
it excited me, intrigued me
made me happy
and I continued learning
slowly I inclined to Hinduism
I loved it
converted to Hindu willingly
and agreed to marry him
wearing a Varanasi silk saree
He chanted some mantras
in front of holy fire
gave me a pinch of vermilion
and I became his wife
now I realise
it wasn't god that I disliked
it was the ideas of god
what was presented to me.
