..."It is the question of survival and death comes only once. Had I succumbed to the ill fate meted out to me, I would not have been standing here today. Now only I realize how painful it was for my family with octogenarian parents undergoing treatment in Siliguri, children studying away from home and ailing wife beside me hospitalized. Today, I feel rewarded when our daughter Rachna invites us to be with her in the United States this summer and son Raman is representing the country to the World Youth Centre 2005 International Programme in Toronto, Canada this June-July. They have achieved this for themselves all by themselves without our help and this really makes us proud of our children!" - R. S. Shresta, Principal Secretary Sikkim : Three Decades towards Democracy page 279
