The First Edition of this book, contained the first twenty chapters found in this new edition. The first chapter gave a geographic picture, of Heeraram’s birth-place of Pln. De-Kinderen, West Coast Demerara, Guyana, South America. On the other hand, the twentieth chapter carried a message of hope, in an imaginary religious trip, to his birth-place from New York in 1995. That religious trip was to participate in a Hindu Memorial Service, in loving remembrance of his immigrant father, in the very temple where his father worshipped, in the 1940s when Heeraram was a boy. That temple has since been relocated to Meten-Meer-Zorg. Coming before the first chapter, was a ‘Prayer’ asking God to allow Heeraram, to make that religious trip to his birth-place, to participate in the memorial service. Next was a ‘Note to the Reader,’ which gave the rationale for writing the book, and a ‘Prologue,’ which gave a portrait of Heeraram, as a poor sugar-estate East Indian boy, whose story needed to be written and told; since only the stories of the rich and powerful, had always been written and told. It was time to redress that literary imbalance, Heeraram felt. The other chapters gave as truthful a picture, of the two primary schools that Heeraram attended, and the six schools in which he was a school-teacher in Guyana. Still other chapters saw him, working at his first job, at Pln. Uitvlugt in the sugar-estate’s book-keeping office, and the lessons he learnt from Gandhi and Tagore from Mother India. The first edition also went on to tell, about his attendance at a Hindu temple in Long Island, where he learnt more about Hinduism, and how he came to attend the temple. Another important chapter gave a rather academic discourse, on how ‘Change’ was the prime mover of progress and retrogression in a society; and how the quality of the leader, decided that change either for the better or worse. The ‘Epilogue’ summarized the intention, of writing the book and for what purpose; and it was hoped that the story would form interesting reading. It must be noted too, that the period of Heeraram’s experiences in the first edition, extended from the 1940s to 1995. This Second Edition was specially designed, to continue the writing to cover his family experiences, from 1995 to the present 2012. In this extended period, five new chapters were added, and which showed how Heeraram was able to complete, that memorial service for his late immigrant father in real-life, at the Meten-Meer-Zorg Hindu temple, in March 1995 in Guyana. Another chapter in the Second Edition related, how Heeraram was able to obtain a Master’s degree, from the St. John’s University, Queens Campus in New York, in his retirement years, in 2006 at the age of 70. Still further, another chapter showed how the additional qualification, earned him his first college-teaching-job, in the Bronx, New York. He taught the ‘American Experience’ History course, at the College of New Rochelle the (JCOC) Campus, as an Adjunct History Professor. The final two chapters covered his family trip to Mother India in 2008, and his Open-Heart surgery in November 2011. Clearly, the Second Edition described Heeraram’s family experiences, in as truthful a way in story-form, to give a much needed example, that other folks in that segment of the society, to which Heeraram belonged, must urgently begin to write and document, their several stories of survival despite the adversities. That writing and documenting, has been waiting a long time, to be brought to literary life. Heeraram believed, that everyone has a story with lessons to be shared, in order to preserve that which is just and good and truthful. Heeraram learnt that Gandhi taught them that ‘Truth is God,’ and that Truth in their lives, will set them free from the injustices around them, wherever they were.
