I love how he talked about when he was younger and growing up, this maid that used to work in his house told him, "You are a muslim, so if you play holi, allah will burn the skin on hand where the colors touched" so he went ot his dad and told him what the maid said, and his dad was like,
"dont listen to her, she's crazy" lol!
He grew up a in a really liberal atmosphere.
It's funny how contradictory the two phrases are. His father's statement, in fact, sounds quite the opposite of what it really means to be liberal. In the both of them mocking the maid, they are putting their opinions on a greater pedestal than hers which to me sounds a lot more like immaturity and narcissism than being liberal. Supporting individual freedom is at the heart of being a liberal. His father's statement is reflective of anything but that.

On a different note, the whole thing about Hinduism being a philosophy, symphony-melody etc went beyond what I could understand. Whatever he's been smoking, I'd like a lot of that.
