According to Dr. Vindhya Vasini Persaud, it was a feast for the eyes, ears, and palate.

Highly motivated, like her parents, to serve humanity, guided by the leitmotif of the Hindu culture :

“Action thy duty ; reward not thy concern ”, ..... Cool

[size=1em]Vindhya is by profession a medical doctor – a surgeon who, after gruelling hours

practising her profession, still finds time to multi-task[/size][size=1em]n myriads of activities,

which also includes being a Parliamentarian
