I am writing this biography in the hope that it will help others going through tough times. I went through some very challenging experiences growing up in India, from a very poor background. Others saw the good in me, and gave me the opportunity to excel in whatever I did. That is one of the reasons I refer to "the ray of sunshine" as the part of me that can see the good in all people. Take one day at a time, and remember, tough times never last, but tough people do. My late wife wanted this book during her journey with radiation and chemotherapy written by Dr. Robert Schuller. The title of the book said it all. I hope the title of this book will give you hope and encouragement.
"What's for Lunch, Mom" describes the journey of two cheetahs. "Mother and Cub, whose tummies were full, they couldn't get up. They were fast asleep; days and night went by, till Cub woke up with a very loud cry. 'I'm hungry, I feel it in my tummy. Let's go and hunt, and find something yummy.'"So starts the quest of the two cheetahs for food. The story is told in rhyme and is aimed at the 4- to 8-year-old child. It is based on the author's experience during a three-week safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and along the Chobe River between Botswana and Namibia. Throughout the book, the reader encounters some of the many wildlife species of the Serengeti, learns the names of animal groupings, and appreciates the plight of the cheetahs in their quest for food. Cheetahs are endangered animals, and the last page of the book provides details on their characteristics, accompanied by select photos taken during the safari.
