I was born into a large family of eight in India and I am the middle child. Maybe my middle child syndrome made me join or volunteer for every organization I could have, which was available in my surroundings, e.g., I was a Boy Scout Leader, NCC (which is similar to ROTC), an Altar boy at the Catholic Church, and later on I volunteered to be the Librarian at the children’s library. I also competed in many debates and elocution competitions where I eventually became known as a champion debater and elocutionist, winning many prizes. This aspect of my life really helped to mold me to be able to speak in any open forum, small or large, and to make my leadership skills shine through. These many experiences, along with the encouragement from my parents, teachers, and elders, etc., really enabled me to later on do the things I was able to as a Catholic Priest, Lecturer at Universities, and Chaplain for the US Army, Hospitals, as well as the Veterans Administration and the Federal Bureau of Prison Systems. My job at the Federal Bureau of Prison Systems helped me to put many things in perspective. I witnessed mafia kings, politicians, etc., who had vast wealth and power, e.g., expensive boats, homes, cars, etc., in the real world fight for a matchstick in prison.
