Mr. Idaikadar's Fast

To just compare, they are like mountains and I AM LIKE JUST A SPECK OF DUST AT THE BOTTOM.

Dear Ms. Sri-Skanda-Rajah,

Rally to support Mr. Idaikadar's fast in front of British Parliament June 2006

Many thanks for your e-mail. I was full of energy throughout the hunger strike. With that many well-wishers around me and the knowledge that people are praying for me all over the world, it is difficult to feel any other way.

Now looking back two things were major inconvenience:

Now I am on my own, the pain hit me like a ton of bricks. However, I am feeling very healthy and thinking about the next project.

A very special thank you for the Canadian Tamils and the media for praying for me and donating blood. I hope to meet you all when I am in Canada, next time.

I was never emotionally touched before. Difficult to describe my feelings when people were hugging me and crying.

However, one thing for certain. Compared to the efforts and sacrifices of my sisters and brothers, my efforts are nothing. To just compare, they are like mountains and I AM JUST LIKE A SPECK OF DUST AT THE BOTTOM OF IT.

Yours sincerely,

Thaya Idaikkadar
