This book gives almost a detailed description about my childhood life in Sri Lanka and the rest of the life in India later. The sufferings I had encountered in Sri Lanka and in India have been highlighted in this book. My struggle to study in childhood as described in the book in detail will draw the attention of the readers. It also speaks about the relationships in my family and also with my friends in Sri Lanka and in India. I indulged in lot of fun especially during childhood which also have been incorporated in this book. As I was born to a most economically backward family, I did not get the education in right time. Even then how I surpassed these hurdles have been mentioned here. My elder brother played the prime mover role to put me in regular school belatedly. I got admission in class 1 when my age was 10. If my brother would not have convinced my father, my education would have been doomed. I tried my level best to explain my naughty and funny activities, while residing in Sri Lanka. Once we had to face a man-made food crisis in Sri Lanka in 70's. How we suffered and came out of it has been described elaborately. In which spirit we celebrated the festivals in Lanka has been briefed to the taste of the readers. The final journey of us from Lanka to India has been illustrated in this book. While landing in India how we felt about the Mother Land and how we lead the life in the new habitat is described. Unfortunately, I lost my mother, just after six months of our migration to India. My education, employment career and unrest in family life have been described fully.
