I am born of religious parents who had a strong conviction of faith and religion, good and bad, right and wrong and who advised me to follow the right path doing good keeping the faith. I am an educator and Imparting knowledge to others has been my passion throughout my life. I have been working in Africa for the last 37 years in the teaching profession. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" This proverb, is my motto. I believe that remembering our roots keep us on the right track with motivation even at old age. A man's achievement should not be measured by the amount of money he had made, nor the mansions he had built, but the way he has raised his family, the values he has upheld, the inner peace he has enjoyed, the dignity and respect he has commanded. My parents are my role models, my wife is the light of my life, my daughter, son and son-in-law are my blessings, and my grandchildren my pride.

A person need not be a great man to write his memoir. Every person's life is unique and everybody has a story to be told. I had many memorable moments in my life, many beautiful people I met and many stories untold. I want to share them for posterity. I dedicate them to Thankamony, Seany, Sherry and Vimal.
