I asked the interviewer to tell me his favourite food. Without hesitation, he said, “My mum’s mutton curry”. By his enthusiastic response, I could tell she’s a great cook. He also asked my thoughts on why we pray for heaven and perhaps miss the point that life, here today, might be heaven on earth.

It’s a cliché – mostly because it’s true – but I would love to have one more hour with my mum. She died in 2010 after a brief terminal illness and although we had a complicated relationship at times, I would always enjoy and look forward to conversations we’d have about life and the meaning we can give to it.
