FOREWORD
“Great Ganges Gleams” is well placed on the cover of this creation titled Journey of My Life of my aunt Gangamma Naidu because she has placed great effort with joy to express her feelings and emotions from birth to Brisbane. I congratulate her for this great historical presentation. Having read the manuscript, I know that she has worked hard to collect all the needed information for her publication. Bravo Aunty! You have sparkled and reflected well.
I have known her from my Fiji National University days as a person who would go out to help anyone in need but most of all I have admired her simple but adorable personality that we are able to extract by reading this book of detailed episodes of her home, family life, education and work life. She has done it with great joy and the readers will love to read and share these with their friends and colleagues.
The writer has given us some very relevant ideas that she has been accumulating for a long time. She has exposed these in such a way that the readers will have no choice but to admire and accept as words from an experienced performer and a dedicated family member. The way she has presented the family love and care is admirable especially the love and care for her ancestors, children and grandchildren.
Since her daughter Jaya and I were school mates from primary days and graduated together from the Fiji School of Medicine, I regard myself as one of the family members and am honoured to be asked to write this Foreword for this worthy publication.
I wish her all the best in life and I am confident that her book will be loved by her family, friends and colleagues. Undeniably her best words are ‘I love the life I live and I live the life I love’.
Well done Auntie Gangamma Naidu Prasad.
