| In her own words: | |||||
| I am an independent teacher
of English, coaching students for TOEFL (Test of English as a foreign
language, USA), IELTS( International English Language Testing System,
UK), Spoken English, and GRE (Graduate Record Examination), and am
also a freelance writer, poetess. I am a Christian Single, and have been an only child. I just lost my mother, Indumati Khristmukti, 66, in November 1999, from heart-disease. She had been a physician for over 30 years and worked selflessly in the Methodist Mission Hospital here in Nadiad town. She handled maternity, family-planning and community health work being the only lady-doctor on staff. United Methodist women (Anaheim, California) invited my mother twice to your country, in recognition of her hard-work and dedication to mission-service. I took care of my mother's needs for the 3 and half years of heart-illness, and I found that she was not only a great physician, she was a great patient. Her faith in the Lord was unshakable and complete. My father is now retired, and he too served in the Methodist Mission Hospital for over 30 years as general surgeon and superintendent. In 1984, Depauw University, Indiana, conferred upon him the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science, in recognition of his mission-contribution. We had all three been to the USA in 1984 for a few months. I had the opportunity to be in New York, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconcin, Indiana and Chicago. I had the privilege to visit your great nation. The memories are unforgettable. |
