This memoir recalls a physician's life in several cultures, East and West, and the challenges and blessings of marriages into two Indian communities. The author describes remarkable personalities that influenced his life, as well as the conflicts and successes of scientific and clinical projects in academia and the World Health Organization. He lived adventures, great and small, in travels, in angling around the world, and in sailing. An adventure of a different sort is the discovery of new paths of creative and spiritual fulfillment in later life.
