Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, l am very happy to be in front of you. I have never thought that I would be alive and be among my dear ones. It was a terrible experience at sea. The shipwreck, the loss of my friends, the terrible loneliness, the hunger and thirst and then the miraculous escape are all quite incredible and unimaginable. I don’t know how I could tolerate and manage all those adverse situations. Even now, when I think of it, I feel the terror enveloping all over my body. But it’s all over.

This difficult experience has taught me a lesson that we should not yield to any hardships in life. Tolerance, perseverance, and confidence can lead us to victory. Anyway, I’m very much grateful to my beloved ones for giving me such a wonderful reception in my home town. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you. Let me conclude with these words face the challenges boldly, ultimate success will be yours. Thank You. Have a nice day.
